Spigot, Inc. Goes to Headpinz!

What a better way to start the week than with a happy hour on a Monday?! Spigot, Inc. left work and headed over to Headpinz for happy hour and some bowling!

Spigot, Inc. Surprises Employees with New Swag!

This morning Spigot, Inc. employees got to work with a surprise on their desk, all new Spigot swag! We remodeled the office at the beginning of the year and completely redid our logo, so it was time for a reboot in swag!

A large amount of Spigot, Inc. employees travel for work – so the backpacks were a great addition AND they came packed with Spigot, Inc. water bottles and updated T-Shirts! Not only do Spigot, Inc. employees get fun swag, but we are in the process of ordering more for the upcoming FGCU career fair we will be attending.
