Glenn Pearce

General Manager (1988 – 2009)

Glenn was also one of the original employees of the company and instrumental in guiding the company through its early years. A very capable, responsible and hard-working individual, also a mechanical engineer, who was deeply respected by both the white and blue collar workers of the company. He always lead by example and many of the working practices he introduced into the company’s operations still exist today. A true professional. Unfortunately Glenn passed away after a short but very aggressive illness in 2009 but his legacy lives on and he will forever be in our hearts and memories. An outstanding human being who we were all proud to have known and loved and who will forever be our General Manager.

He was Glenn with a double nn and he was the best of us.
