the company. In 1970, Bob’s son Gord joined the company fresh out of high school. In 1973 they outgrew the original location, and moved to their present location at Hastings and Fell. Bob retired in the early 1980s and Gord is still with the company, but in a much more relaxed capacity. Manager
Dan Laird has been with the organization for 20 years and is continuing to build customers and client base. We are most proud of our long standing employees that have up to 44 years of service. We are proud to have been servicing Burnaby for the last 50 years and look forward to many more years of service.
Congratulations on 50 years of outstanding service!
