Wilcox encourages staff members to actively participate in community events or charities that are important to them. As a company, we have supported several charities over the years through both contributions and volunteering. This gives us the opportunity when we are out in the field to put a human touch on the business. For us, these acts of social responsibility provide an opportunity to connect with some amazing individuals, to help the environment, or to be inspired by incredible stories. Below is an example of some of the causes Wilcox supports.
