Women in Business PROFILE
Gladys Abrams
To the ‘Milestone Women’ &
R.S. Restoration Services Ltd. Disaster Kleenup Canada My husband, Roy and I purchased R.S. in 1988. We felt owning our own business would be exciting as well as rewarding. My financial background has been an asset in my position as Comptroller of the Company. We are a locally owned business in Victoria specializing in the property damage restoration industry with a branch in Duncan. We service Victoria, Sooke, Cowichan Valley, South Island and the Gulf Islands. In 2000, we joined a national network of restoration contractors, Disaster Kleenup
Canada. I joined the marketing committee, as well as the board of directors. Networking on a national level has assisted in expanding our business horizons. In the past 21 years at R.S., I have particularly enjoyed working with our staff, many who have been with our company long term. As a Disaster Kleenup member, I have also particulary enjoyed meeting members from across Canada who are in the same industry, many who are now close friends.

Her early teen years were spent helping out after school in her mother’s restautant in Toronto. In the early 80’s, Ursula was fortunate to work with Chef Kurt Adrian, one of the founders of the Vancouver Island Chefs’ Associatioin, and spent two years receiving detailed training in the catering industry, after which she took over as house caterer for the Victoria Edelweiss Club. A number of years ago, Kristy Cline joined the company and has since become Ursula’s most valued assistant, managing many of the functions and taking great pride in creating and maintaining up-to-date quality and service. The company offers competitive catering packages at the Edelweiss Club and a variety of other venues. Decorating packages, including chair covers, are also available. Custom designed menus are available to suit all needs and budgets. Ursula and Kristy are happy to meet with you and discuss your future event.
