WELCOME
Welcome to our sixth and final edition of Risk & Business! It is
fitting to end this journey by commemorating our ninety-year
history with local articles devoted to the divisions, departments,
and people that have made F. A. Peabody Company strong for
a very long time. I’m proud of the work we’ve all accomplished
over the years to build on the foundations laid by Frank Allen
Peabody and those leaders and employees following his early
years.
To convey every detail of history in these short articles is
impractical and impossible, but I’m hoping you are left with a
sense of the development, risk, creativeness, and hard work
undertaken over the years to achieve what is today, a great and
complex organization.
We observe impressions of life in a static moment in time;
viewing our surroundings, community and place of employment
as a paradigm or archetypes of existence that is and has always
been. We easily forget how things came to be and quickly dismiss
the evolving nature of a company, with the daily and sometimes
difficult decisions made by many to create what you experience
in the present day. Such is the case with F. A. Peabody Company
and its subsidiaries; FAPCO Administrative Services and
Pioneer Broadband. With hard work and focus, we’ve evolved
to become something better than before. As we strive to deliver
quality services while keeping our client’s best interests at heart,
we hope to be better in the future.
An organization not moving forward is actually moving
somewhere; backward, or at best, sideways, but it is still moving.
While history is important, it is in the spirit of moving forward
with the dedication of our staff today that makes F. A. Peabody
such an interesting place to work. A big ‘Thank You’ to the people
found in these pages; past and present! We have accomplished
much from those humble beginnings in Northern Maine. Read
on and enjoy the journey!
