HUMBLE BEGINNINGS
Hubric Resources opened for business in the fall of 2003 a month before Tom & Kim's third daughter was born. Having three children under the age of 3, they couldn't afford daycare and hoped that family members could help provide childcare while they both continued to work and earn a living. Their priority was always their children and family, and they wanted to find the perfect balance so that priorities were never compromised.
Having already had successful HR careers and education in the human resources field combined with an entrepreneurial spirit, Tom & Kim thought, "It's time - let's start an HR consulting company. We need flexibility to help care for our children."
The pair went online and registered as an LLC, converted their attic into a home office (this was not common in 2003), had Kim's father, Richard, develop the company's first logo, ordered business cards, and then the company launched.
In January 2004, Reading-Berks HR Management brought on their first consulting client, Safe Berks (formerly Berks Women in Crisis), after Kim had served as their part-time director for several years. In the meantime, Tom was busy managing a full-time HR & operations role with another employer while taking on new clients for Reading-Berks HR Management in the evenings. The consulting business starting thriving, so Tom made the decision to leave his full-time day position (that supported all of the benefits for the family) and take the leap of faith to fully commit and run Reading-Berks HR Management as President.
Over the next 20 years, Reading-Berks HR Management grew, moving office locations to West Lawn, PA, adding new team members, and making a strong positive impact within the community. In 2008, the company moved to its current location, 625 North Park Road in Wyomissing, PA. Here the company continued to grow and thrive, and ultimately decided to rebrand due to its more extensive regional and global network. Today the company is known as Hubric Resources, using their namesake to represent the field of HR.
Hubric Resources now proudly supports over 300 clients. Many of our clients are located in the mid-Atlantic region, but others have offices across the country and even a few internationally.
Today, Hubric Resources provides HR support to most industries, some of which include: healthcare, manufacturing, restaurant, service, county and local government, public and private schools, banking, universities, dental offices, and even a zoo.

The beginnings of Hubric Resources were certainly humble, and paved the path needed to prioritize family while providing excellence in HR support for clients. Today's team continues to serve clients with remarkable skill and professionalism, all while enjoying a flexible work environment that balances needs and interests outside of work, too.
