Kennedy Office Celebrates 50 Years

Oct. 4, 2010 - PRLog -- Mary Catherine Sigmon, President, announced 2010 marks 50 years in business for Kennedy Office.  Founded in 1960 by Charles Kennedy, Sr., the company has grown over the years and now serves businesses in the Triangle, east to Wilmington and Greenville and now Pittsburgh, PA.

Gradually the company grew and during the late 1980s and 1990s, the company became a significant player in the marketplace.  Services were expanded to include offices in Wilmington, Greenville and Pittsburgh, PA in addition to their corporate headquarters in Raleigh.

“It’s an honor to have been respected and trusted by our customers for 50 years,” said Sigmon. “We thank our customers, staff, family and friends who have shared this journey with us and look forward to the next 50 years!”
