Hodgetts remarked,
“It has been a privilege to grow GLAS with my talented colleagues since 2016. The level of service GLAS provides clients is unmatched in the market, and I look forward to seeing the Company continue to thrive and grow going forward under the vision and stewardship of the Founders’ leadership.”
Drennan, said,
“I have known Steve for 25 years and it has been my pleasure to work with him for a number of those, particularly here at GLAS. Brian and I appreciate all that Steve has done since joining us in 2016 and being part of the GLAS family. We are thrilled he will continue to bring his experience and expertise to our board.”
