Water & Wetland
Date: October 2023
Headquarters: South Grafton, MA
Co-founders, Joe and Colin, sought a partner who could help them scale in the Northeast market while easing the burden of back-office responsibilities. They found that partner in Jones Lake Management, where shared values and a commitment to growth created the foundation for a strong collaboration.
Both Joe and Colin remain deeply engaged in daily operations and continue to shape the future of the business as members of the Board of Founders. With the support of JLM, they promoted long-time team member, James Lacasse, to branch manager, a key example of how the partnership has strengthened opportunities for advancement from within.
The new structure has also allowed each founder to lean into their passions and drive impact in meaningful ways. Joe now leads as Director of Sales across the JLM family of brands, focusing his energy on expanding client relationships, while Colin has taken on the critical role of training Water & Wetland’s growing team of field biologists. Together, these shifts highlight how JLM empowers acquired companies to thrive by supporting leaders, elevating employees, and fueling long-term growth in every market we serve.
