E-commerce logistics provider Radial Inc. has notched big gains during the coronavirus pandemic, which triggered surging online order volumes while presenting new challenges as the company hustled to meet the sudden rush in demand.
New Chief Executive Ilias Simpson is taking what Radial learned from this singular year as it looks to 2021, when the fulfillment and software business aims to expand further and double down on the technology that helped retail customers such as Cole Haan, Ashley Stewart and Payless Worldwide Inc. cope with the upheaval.
“We were early adopters of things like curbside pickup and buy online, pickup in store,” Mr. Simpson said in an interview. “People thought we were crazy when we were doing those things years ago, and here we are in a situation now where that’s people’s lifeline for getting the products that they need.”

COVID-19 has been a harsh reality in 2020, and permeated almost every aspect of everyone s daily life.
Campus life has been no different.
With the many changes college campuses faced in Kentucky, and around the world, EKU President David McFaddin said he wanted to find a way to give back to the university staff and employees.
During the Dec. 10 Board of Regents meeting, McFaddin announced the Colonels Care Employee Initiative, which would give employees a $1,000 bonus.
âI think this is one of the most important investments we have made to the university in the last several years,â McFaddin said.
McFaddin explained this initiative is meant as a thank you to EKUâs staff who worked tirelessly to keep EKUâs students learning. For their hard work, the administration will give a $1,000 investment to every full-time employee who has been with employed at the Richmond-based college since Sept. 30, 2020.
