EDITOR
FROM THE
Welcome to Business World Magazine, where we showcase the very best in business
excellence across North America.
For this edition, we have turned our attention to British Columbia, Canada, and highlighted
some of the business leaders in construction and development. The two companies grac-
ing our cover –
Tidman Construction and Pacific Landing
– are two prime examples.
Tidman Construction is a third-generation family business with a history of custom building
excellence going back more than 70 years. We spoke with director Andrew Tidman, who
told us how he’s continuing the legacy of grandfather, father, and uncle, and about some of
the high profile recent projects that have put the family company in the spotlight.
Pacific Landing, meanwhile, is a resort village located on an unparalleled waterfront loca-
tion not far from downtown Victoria. There, they have delivered a lifestyle offering truly
focused on community and engagement – something a lot of developers strive for, or say
they do, but not many achieve. Dale Fish, a founding partner in the business, talked to us
about how they pulled it off.
Also featured in this issue, among other industry leaders across the province and beyond,
is
All Elements Design.Manage.Build.
They have become one of the most renowned
names for high-end, highly challenging projects in the Okanagan, and their reach is ex-
panding fast. Founder and director Kim Larson walked us through the road to earning their
reputation, and told us about their next step –making luxury homes more energy-efficient
than ever.
For those stories and more, keep flipping the pages. Thank you for reading, and we’ll see
you here again in the months to come.
