ANSWERS:
1. Because of the quality of the Fortec
network. It is a service driven, quality culture that
Fortec promotes. We are not looking to be the biggest
simply the best! We are not an imposing network. It’s
a small, personal, director to director relationship.
When people come to Fortec we want them to stay.
