Colonial Celebrates 45 Years
A Note from CEO/President, Scott Kidder:
Today marks a very special day here at Colonial Adjustment, Inc. – 45 years ago, on September 3, 1974, my father opened Colonial Adjustment. I’m so appreciative of his qualities of entrepreneurship and tenacity that led him to open and grow his own business, and to share that business with me and my family. My father taught me the importance of building relationships, fostering trust by keeping your word, and treating everyone like family. Our amazing team of dedicated employees help me to continue these values today, and I’m proud to be carrying his legacy on into the future!… Read More
