Lowerson Switches Offices

“We’re excited to welcome Peter,” said Fairfield Office Leader Melissa Riley. “While he made a name for himself in our Stratford office, he will now be working from the Fairfield office and focusing on the towns of Stratford, Bridgeport, Fairfield, Westport, Easton and Redding. Peter’s professional background centered on a career in [information technology] and computer systems development and many of his customer service and project management skills will no doubt aid him as he continues to grow his business.”
