Welcome once again to Business World Magazine, where
we showcase the very best in business excellence across
North America.
As the cover indicated, in this edition we are fortunate
enough to feature TDIndustries and MQN Architecture &
Interior Design. The former is one of America’s premier
mechanical construction and facility service companies,
with a history dating back 70 years, and a portfolio that
includes a number of skyline-altering projects throughout
the United States. The latter is one of the leading archi-
tectural firms in Canada, and the company behind some
of the most innovative and sustainable design projects in
BC. We talked to both companies about the values driving
everything they do, and we dived deep into some of their
recent acclaimed projects.
This time out we also turned our spotlight to the retire-
ment living sector, where the historic Cross Keys Village
is a longstanding and renowned leader. Founded in 1908,
they have grown to be the largest single-site non-profit
community in Pennsylvania, all while remaining at the
forefront of the industry. For the keys to their continuous
improvement – and in particular, how they are leading the
way in employee engagement – read on.
Furthermore, our focus on cities that are open for busi-
ness continues with a look at Grover Beach, California. To
tell their story, we spoke to City Manager Matthew Bron-
son, who walked us through the beachfront community’s
massive appeal for tourism, business and development,
as well as its emerging status as the commercial cannabis
centre of the Central Coast.
For those stories – and many more, this month and the
months and years to come – keep reading.
All the best,
The Editorial Team
We will keep
adding business
units that enhance
our offering and
separate us from
our competition.
