Our Story and Services
The Ibis has always been a symbol of adaptability, stability and cooperation. The cooperation is seen in their willingness to hunt and feed in conjunction with their own flock and flocks of other birds. Notably, the Ibis is the last animal to leave when storms and hurricanes come. They are also the first animals to be seen when these conditions subside.
The Ibis Group was founded in 2022 in order to construct a 40-year future that was built on 40 years of dedication, devotion and diligence.

During this initial meeting, we mutually determine if our group feels like the right fit for you.
