client testimonial
Groom Construction set out to expand its diversity efforts in response to our push to have our general contractors actively pursue and employ diverse sub-contractors when building our facilities. CVS Health remains committed to supplier diversity and Groom’s aggressive growth in this area shows that they too are committed to this important work. We are proud to do business with a company that is as focused on diversity and inclusion as we are. Well done Groom, and please keep diversity growth in the forefront of your goals and objectives in 2022 and beyond.
