Calgary, Alberta — November 3, 2014 — Coming together as one brand was the theme at Fix Auto’s recent BC and Alberta Regional Meetings, held recently at the River Rock Casino and Resort in Vancouver, and at the Sandman Hotel in Calgary. Both meetings were hosted by Fix Auto Western Canada General Manager Peter Polito, and brought together representatives from over 36 locations in the Western Canada network.
“Getting together as a network and bringing in corporate leadership and guest speakers, is a great opportunity to build the strength of our network,†says Polito. “We work individually with our franchisees as Strategic Partners, but getting together as a group helps raise the bar for the entire Fix Auto network, as we come together as one brand nationally and globally.â€
Discussions took place around operational excellence, industry trends, and new shop openings in Parksville and Williams Lake in British Columbia, as well as a massive renovation underway at the soon-to-be-opened Calgary Northeast location. Attendees also zeroed in on aluminum repairs, and had the opportunity to tour the attached Supplier Tradeshow, featuring exhibits from over 15 vendor partners.
New Western Sales Manager Keith Jones, formerly with the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia (ICBC), was a popular addition to the team, providing insight and clarity around the insurance referral channel in Western Canada. Speakers from Fix Auto taking the podium during the event included corporate Vice Presidents Tony DeSantis (Sales), Guy Barbeau (Operations), Carl Brabander (Marketing), and Gabrielle Comtois (Finance).
