WINDSOR PLYWOOD | HEAD OFFICE
Our Stores specialize in hard-to-source interior and exterior home finishing products including flooring, doors, mouldings and specialty wood products. Our business model is also very different as most of our locations are family affairs – independently locally owned and operated – not top-down like most franchise groups. We carry high quality, responsibly sourced products and are committed to providing outstanding value and personalized, one-on-one service to all of our Store Operators. We are proud to have been in business 50 years with over 60 stores across Canada and into the Pacific Northwest of the United States.
Head Office prioritizes supporting the Stores above all else. A great deal of autonomy is provided to Stores; however, they look to Head Office regularly for guidance and support. Stores expect to receive knowledgeable assistance with quick turnarounds. Overall, the Head Office team are “doers” and not afraid to roll-up their sleeves when necessary. If you are looking for a formal environment – this is not for you. This could be an excellent growth role for someone who possesses a great attitude along with an aptitude for working with numbers & finances.
