BIGGER IS BETTER WHEN IT COMES TO BRC GROUP
E
verything about BRC Group (Big Rig Collision) is exactly that: big. From the size of the vehicles it services to its impressive facilities to its dedication to customer satisfaction, BRC has delivered consistently for more than 40 years. Brad Field has grown the company by 10 times over the past 25 years, earning it a reputation for excellence in the industry. Since Field was featured in 2008, he has established BRC as the international benchmark when it comes to collision repair and refurbishment of vehicles bigger than one tonne – public transportation vehicles, motorhomes, oilfield equipment, tour buses and highway tractors. Companies from all over Canada and the United States ship their units to BRC knowing the job will be done right. “It’s a fairly niche market,” says owner and president Brad Field. “We do mechanical, collision repair, fire restoration, electronics repair, frame repair – it’s endless. There isn’t anything we don’t do.” Everything BRC does comes with a lifetime warranty, which is unheard of in the industry. Field has the best people in the business working for him and he stands behind their craftsmanship and expertise. Customers know they are getting the best when they hire BRC and are confident the job will be done quickly to get the vehicle back on the road. “Most of the equipment we work on is revenue producing so downtime is a direct impact to the owner’s cash flow and supply chain management. The quicker we can turn the product around and get it back to our customers the better,” he says. To help get vehicles up and running faster, BRC opened a second location in Las Vegas, Nevada, in 2010. While large projects are still done out of the Calgary facility, the U.S. branch allows BRC to better serve American customers with their smaller jobs. The company also moved into a new 55,000-square-foot facility in Calgary last fall. It is both functional and stylish, promoting clean workspaces, warm meeting areas and a comfortable atmosphere for clients and staff. It’s another example of how Brad Field is doing things differently in the industry and why his company is a leader within it. Field is dedicated to both the industry and the community. He sits on various volunteer boards and is an active member of the Calgary Chamber of Commerce working to expand

the type and size of the businesses that are part of the membership. Further, he volunteers as a mentor to young CEOs in support of a program run by the Chamber. “There is value for all companies to be a part of the Chamber of Commerce. I want to ensure that the full range of Calgary businesses are part of the conversation. Small to mediumsize enterprises are the foundation of Calgary’s economy.” Brad Field of BRC Group is a leader in the shop, the boardroom and the community as an Alumni Leader.
