Welcome to the latest issue of Business World Magazine, our
second-to-last of 2019. The year may be wrapping up, but for
this month and next, we still have plenty of stories of business
excellence to share with you.
This time out, we looked at a diverse array of businesses in a
variety of industries – including an industry-leading science
company that spans multiple sectors, but whose impact is par-
ticularly big in the world of safety equipment and training. That
would be
3M Science. Applied to Life.
They shared with us the
specifics of their leading-edge protection.
Also in this edition, we cover a rising player in the meeting man-
agement and special event space. Evolution Event Solutions re-
cently appeared on the Inc. 5000 list of America’s fastest-grow-
ing companies for the second year in the row. Their founder and
CEO, Falon Veit Scott, spoke with us about that rapid growth,
what’s fuelled it, and how they plan to keep it going.
In the property development industry, meanwhile, we took a
look at Vancouver’s
Holborn Group
– the company behind the
city’s second-tallest tower, among other landmark projects. We
spoke to Principal Joo Kim Tiah about that project, the vision
and principles that inspired it, and his goal to continue shaping
the city’s skyline.
Finally, there’s
Linwood Custom Homes,
one of the longest-
standing and most highly-acclaimed designers and builders in
Canada. At the Canadian Home Builders’ Association National
Award for Housing Excellence, they have proven their suprem-
acy time and time again. Vice President Craig McFarlane is the
mind behind many of the company’s award-winning and award-
nominated projects, including their most recent, and we talked
to him about how he keeps it up.
All those stories can be found on the coming pages. We hope
you enjoy, and we hope we’ll see you back here to conclude the
year!
All the best,
The Editorial Team
We will keep
adding business
units that enhance
our offering and
separate us from
our competition.
