BOSTON, MA – November 1, 2024 – Kirkwood is excited to announce the acquisition of Jet Mail Services, a highly respected brand that has earned its reputation through the leadership and guidance of Ed Kohler. With this acquisition, Kirkwood gains the privilege of welcoming the clients, employees, and extended Jet Mail family into its fold.
