## Company history

FirstService traces its origins to a Toronto pool and recreation-facility management business founded in 1972. Jay S. Hennick established the FirstService predecessor in 1989, and the company became publicly traded in 1993. [16](https://www.firstservice.com/company-history/)[17](https://www.firstservice.com/founder-chairman/)

During the 1990s, FirstService expanded its residential property-management business through acquisitions in Florida and the northeastern United States, and broadened its home-services portfolio with the acquisition of Paul Davis Restoration in 1997 and California Closets in 1998. [16](https://www.firstservice.com/company-history/)

On June 1, 2015, FirstService became an independent public company following the separation of its predecessor, Old FSV, into FirstService and Colliers International Group. [18](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P167404875) In 2019, FirstService acquired controlling interests in 15 businesses, including Global Restoration, which expanded its property-restoration operations.
