Our Story in a Few Words
Founded in 1988 by Ron and Alice Sanders in Madisonville, KY, People Plus started with a simple vision: help people and strengthen communities. From a typewriter and a desk, their perseverance and dedication grew the company into multiple locations across Kentucky, serving surrounding states as well.
Today, the second generation — Amy Sanderson and Amanda Huddleston — lead the company, continuing the family values, integrity, and care that built People Plus. Proudly family-owned, woman-owned, and community-driven, we remain committed to connecting talent with opportunity and helping businesses thrive.
With over 30 years at People Plus (34 years if we count her temporary assignments), Amy continues to be a key component to the People Plus team. Having been formally educated at University of Louisville and Murray State University in Accounting, Amy knew Kentucky was her home and she was happy to come back to her roots in Madisonville, KY. Not only are her roots important, Amy believes in making the business and family community around her better as well. She has served as Chairman of the Madisonville-Hopkins County Chamber of Commerce (currently serves as Past Chairman), C-Link Board and past PTA President for her children’s school. For Amy, it’s about family and giving back for all the opportunities she’s been given. “This company, our clients and our employees have provided me so many opportunities. The absolute least I can do is return that favor to the people of Kentucky by leading us to be a solid, community minded organization for many years to come.”
Upon graduating with a Communications degree from Eastern Kentucky University, Amanda began working as a Human Resource Generalist, for a large national distributor, primarily handling recruitment. After 3 years working as a client of staffing firms, she was able to better understand what a client needs from a staffing provider. And in 2004, Amanda joined her sister at People Plus full-time and opened a new office in Lexington, KY. Amanda currently works out of our Lexington location and works closely with all of our locations on client service offerings and talent recruitment. In her community, she serves on the Executive Board of the Kentucky Society of Human Resource Management Council, former president of the Bluegrass Society of Human Resource Management and a Rotarian in her local community. One of Amanda’s favorite staffing moments, “When we hear from our assigned staff that we helped them find their dream job or when the client is thrilled with our staff, it makes any of the bad times seem minimal. We are changing individuals lives and helping the economy be stronger…it feels good to know our company is making a difference.”
Kellie graduated from MCC with a degree in Business Administration. Her experience since graduation has been in bookkeeping, insurance and then onto Financial Administrator before joining the People Plus team in 2013 in our Accounts Payable department. Kellie was then promoted to our Director of Finance. She has served as her church pianst for 32 years and also uses these talents to play for multiple community groups. Kellie loves to give back to her community through volunteering to handle treasurer duties for her church and Lion’s Club. Kellie says “I love that People Plus is a Kentucky-based company that genuinely values people and community. They truly want everyone to be better for working with us, and I hope to be able to continue that legacy for years to come.”
