Canerector

Let’s talk about the future. We love meeting business owners who are passionate about what they’ve built. And we think they love meeting us too! That’s because we don’t just acquire; we invest for the long haul, supporting businesses while preserving their legacy and entrepreneurial spirit. Even if selling isn’t on your radar yet, we’d love to hear your story and share ours. DM us to connect with our knowledgeable team members attending these events. 

Building Success. Introducing Sampras (Dayong) Yang, CFA, MBA as our new VP of Real Estate. Sampras is here to help us break ground on fresh opportunities. Specifically, by optimizing our assets, supporting acquisitions, and ensuring our ever-growing network of businesses have the perfect spaces to do what they do best! Let’s raise the roof (literally and figuratively) for Sampras!

These leaders have us all fired up! To celebrate #InternationalWomensDay, Canerector’s CEO, Amanda Hawkins, hosted an intimate fireside chat with a powerhouse group of leaders from across our companies. From their worst jobs to their best advice, our panelists shared stories that made us laugh, reflect, and spark inspiration for the next generation of leaders. Sonja Wilson’s participation was especially meaningful, as Friday marked her last day before retirement. Reflecting on leadership, she shared: “The pinnacle of leadership is pouring yourself back into people. The most rewarding part is knowing you’ve made a real impact on others' lives.” A heartfelt thank you to all our panelists for your strength, wisdom, and guidance.

Straight talk, sharp strategy, and lasting impact. That’s the Jonathan Puddy way. After 22 years of driving growth, Jonathan has turned the page on his career at Canerector and into his next chapter: retirement. As he embarks on this well-earned next phase, join us in celebrating his journey and the lasting impact he’s had on our company.

Memories for miles. Jonathan Puddy has them. His colleagues do too. So when Jonathan retired after 22 years at Canerector, we set the stage to hear them. Our largest-ever Family Lunch featured all his favorite foods. It was an array as rich as the career of our man of the hour! Many colleagues-turned-friends shared stories, giving us a taste of how deeply he will be missed. But the cherry on top? Jonathan’s reflections on his time at Canerector. They reminded us of the impact one person can have. Happy retirement, Jonathan. Wishing you miles of happiness ahead!

Success isn’t instant. It’s built over years of hard work, commitment, and teamwork. Our companies’ milestones are a testament to that journey. Congratulations to our businesses that recently marked significant anniversaries with celebrations as unique as they are. Join us in honouring their legacies and celebrating the teams shaping our future success. Savico - Labrador Metal Works Harris-Stolper International Inc.

We embrace closings with open doors. With every acquisition, we host a Closing Party to celebrate our new business and share stories about why our team is thrilled to welcome them to our growing network. This one was special. That’s because Trina Vitolianos, President of Promac Industries Ltd joined us to share her story too! It was a treat to learn more about her and kick off our new chapter together. Strong relationships are the foundations of our network’s success, and we’re excited to watch this one flourish for years to come! Here's to new beginnings!

Human trickery is no treat! In recognition of International #Cybersecurity Month, we held an event highlighting the art of deception in the digital world. Hacking heavyweights Ben Owen, ex-British Intelligence officer and star of Hunted, and Danni Brooke, award-winning author and ex-undercover cop took our employees behind the curtain, revealing the clever tactics they used to extract information from criminals and terrorists. The same tactics used in the cyber realm. Scary stuff. By understanding these reconnaissance tactics, and adopting a proactive approach to security, we can better protect ourselves, our families, and our businesses from online threats. In the digital world, it's better to outsmart than be out-tricked!
