This puts us in an excel­lent posi­tion to realize our ambi­tious growth plans and the further profes­sio­na­liza­tion of our company. In short, we are the same company, with the same people, the same core values, the same service and the same ambi­ti­ons. Howe­ver, now with the rein­force­ment of Main as our stra­te­gic partner.”
