Stewart Smith, founder and chairman of S2 Partnership said “The 20 Year Anniversary marks an important milestone for the company and is an opportunity not only to look back on our achievements and the friendships we have made, but also to look forward to the opportunities ahead. Without the commitment and dedication of our employees, and the trust of our clients and partners, this celebration would not have been possible, and so I would like to say a warm and heart-felt thank you to everyone who has contributed to our growth and success.”
