in Saskatchewan over the next few years, and
they’re also looking ahead to possible involve-
ment in offshore projects. One of their more
immediate plans is to create a unionized divi-
sion in the company, which will open up addi-
tional opportunities with larger corporations.
OVER 100 YEARS OF
FIBERGLASS EXPERTISE
As for the next five years, “I’d like to see it go-
ing strong, probably having a location in North
Dakota, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Co-
lumbia,” Goodwill said. “In terms of expansion,
we’re very proud to say that at this point, our
crew collectively has over 100 years of fiber-
glass piping experience, which we’ve never
had before and we don’t believe anybody else
has that...I think it’s tremendous.”
The wealth of skill and experience that makes
up the company’s team is one of the secrets
behind their growing success. Finding and re-
taining skilled labour is always a challenge,
particularly in Western Canada where trades
people can move from job to job in pursuit of
higher wages. Maintaining a supportive and
appreciative atmosphere helps to keep every-
one motivated and invested in the jobs they do
each day.
“We work with integrity and transparency and
invest as much as we can in our employees.
When we can, we take advantage of holidays
and birthdays with a little celebration to up the
morale,” Goodwill said. “We know that other
companies don’t enjoy themselves as much as
we do.”
