They are the foundation of our company, define who we are and set us apart from the competition. They underlie our vision of the future, our business strategies and our decisions, actions and behaviors. We live by them.

Being a good corporate citizen is a sign of a company’s veracity. Spence Brothers’ vested interest in supporting communities where we work, live, and play is a footprint of our company-wide belief to “always give something back”.

By giving time, talent, and treasure, our company, and employees have helped community-based agencies, supportive groups and other causes bring solutions to identified local needs.
