How did he get started?
The year he turned 5, a wooden mandarin orange box and a kids tool set began interest that led to a construction industry job on his 20th birthday.
I asked Rick how he sees the market, in his industry, over the next 90 days.
. . . way more positive than negative, continued skilled labour shortages
Over the next 5 years?
… continued success of the company through working with our customers to focus on what we do well – and continued shortages of skilled labour. We need to get better at attracting people into the construction trades. Continued employee involvement in the ownership will help us retain quality people.
What qualities distinguish your preferred suppliers?
. . . low price doesn’t equal credibility. I look for keen bidding, reliability, reputation and capacity for listening
Why do your clients hire you instead of your competitors?
. . . consistency, experience, deliver – and we facilitate problem solving through consultation to deliver fair value.
What are you reading?
. . . The Art of War by Sun-Tzu
His ride?
. . . 2006 Honda Element
Thanks Rick.
