Today, Avangrid, Inc. (NYSE: AGR), a sustainable energy company
and member of the Iberdrola Group, announced the retirement of one
of its longest-serving team members, Linda Fulton-Christie, who
joined the workforce of Avangrid subsidiary Southern Connecticut

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. I wish her well in her
retirement and thank her for her many years of loyal service to our
company and our customers.”
Linda joined SCG in 1973, when she accepted a summer opportunity
with the company while she was a student at Wilberforce University,
a private Historically Black College/University (HBCU) in southern
Ohio. She began as a cashier before becoming a Customer Service
Representative, and in 1982, she assumed her current role in the
billing department as a Revenue Control Specialist.
“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.”
“As I enter this new chapter of retirement, I am thankful to my
colleagues at SCG, both past and present, who have been like a
family to me for these past five decades,” said Linda
Fulton-Christie, a retiring 51-year veteran of Southern
Connecticut Gas. “I hope my time here is an inspiration to my newer
colleagues: there are so many opportunities in this company, and
you can build a fruitful career here for yourself and for your
family. 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.”
