What are your family values and how do they contribute to your business success? SMG Corporate Services is a fourth-gener- ation, family-owned business that started modestly as a window-washing company in Bridgeport in 1924. From the start, the belief was that growth would come by delivering the best value exchange - that if we delivered world-class service to our clients and provided signifi- cant opportunities for our employees, then reliability would become our ultimate value.
