No.  There is nowhere you can send a file to have it decrypted for you
since that would defeat the point.  GnuPG wouldn't be a good
encryption program if there was a way for someone else to decrypt a
message.

In short, without the key, you can't decrypt.

What are you trying to do here?  If the concern is that you want to
use encryption, but you want the company to be able to decrypt as
well, there are solutions for that.  See "encrypt-to" in the manual.
