Gavin Semple, President of Brandt Industries
Nearing $1 billion in sales revenue and employing 1,250 people, Brandt Industries is Saskatchewan’s largest private company and has repeatedly been named one of Canada’s 50 Best Managed Companies. Gavin is widely respected for effectively managing growth as revenues grew from $1 million when he joined the company in 1972.

George Reddekopp, President of Grandwest Enterprises Inc.
Dominating the western Canadian market, Grandwest Enterprises is Canada’s largest distributor for automo-tive aftermarket parts and accessories with over 110,000 square feet of warehouse space. George’s manage-ment style is the primary driver behind the company’s high productivity and low employee turnover.

Florian Possberg, Founder of Big Sky Farms Inc.
Originating on his family farm, Florian has expanded his 60 sow farrow-to-finish barn to one of the largest hog producers in Canada. As an entrepreneur, Florian is dealing with a period of significant change as the pork industry enters an extremely challenging period due to unfavourable commodity prices.
