Our leader, Alec McDougall

Alec McDougall, started with the company in 1988 and took over day-to-day operations in 2001, after learning many aspects of the industry. Alec initially worked in the field as an installer, then in the shop on the production end, and in accounting and purchasing, learning the business from the ground up and dedicating time and energy to project management and sales and business development. Today, as our Chief Executive Officer, McDougall continues to introduce changes to improve the business, including investing in the latest technology as the company embraces LEAN manufacturing.
