Avangrid CEO Pedro Azagra called Ms. Fulton-Christie to personally thank her for 51 years of service to SCG customers and to wish her well in her retirement.

“Across Avangrid’s family of companies, the characteristics we are known for – commitment to excellent customer service, cutting-edge innovation, and second-to-none reliability – start and end with our workforce,” said Pedro Azagra, Avangrid CEO. “Over the last 51 years with SCG, Linda has proven to be one of the best we have: a hard worker dedicated to excellent service for her team, her company, and the customers we serve in Bridgeport, New Haven, and across south-central Connecticut.

“From the newest recruits to our longest-standing employees, our workforce is our greatest strength and most valuable asset,” said Frank Reynolds, President & CEO of Southern Connecticut Gas (SCG). “Nearly 30 years ago, I, too, started my career with SCG, and I am proud to join with people like Linda who have made this company exceptional in the safe, reliable delivery of natural gas across south-central Connecticut. Today, we congratulate her for her well-earned retirement after so many years with us, and we look forward to pictures and stories of her next chapter.”

I’m proud of the 51 years I’ve worked at SCG, and now I look forward to spending more time with my family, especially my daughter, Tiffani, who is my greatest joy and achievement in life.”
