Miller explained that the decision to sell was not made lightly – and that clients should benefit in the long run.
“It has been a pleasure doing business in Airdrie and surrounding area for over 50 years,” she said. “Our decision to sell our business to Andrew Agencies was based on the similarities of the two companies, one family business to another.”
