“We knew we needed help finding a new Production Manager for our plant in Kamloops. We had been recruiting for six months, nationally and world-wide, for this critical role without results. That’s when we called in Ashton Associates.The Ashton team took over the search process, and within a relatively short period of time, they had not only sourced one outstanding candidate, but a strong number two as well. We found both candidates to be well screened for skills, values, motivation, and overall fit.I highly recommend anyone with a critical role to fill to look to the search professionals at Ashton & Associates.”
Eric Isenor, Plant Manager – Lafarge Canada

“We are absolutely thrilled with Gary – in fact the whole team is. He is an amazing communicator and has a real sense of business savvy.He looks after issues and concerns with speed and diligence, he is clear and concise in his message and staff completely respect his word. He is also very respectful of everyone. He works well with our children and is helping to develop their skills too (I am so impressed). They also have stated that they are learning so much from him.I think this industry is challenging enough for him and that the learning curve is steep so it is keeping him very interested in the position.I see a strong relationship here for years to come. Thanks so much for finding him for us!
