Chairman's Message

2011 turned out to be a very good year for our Company...

Business was better than expected, and while not a record year overall, some of our operating divisions did achieve record results. Our balance sheet remains very strong and we are pleased with the overall direction of the company and our ability to meet our next set of goals.

Over the past twelve months we made a number of significant investments, including some acquisitions that will benefit the Company in the years to come.

I want to thank all of our employees, suppliers, and especially our Customers whose expectations we strive very hard to exceed, and who make it possible for all of us to come to work each and every day.

We are looking forward to another positive year in 2012.

Jim Pattison
Managing Director,
Chief Executive Officer and Chairman
