It is with great excitement I welcome Jake den Hollander to the Doidge Group of TimBr-Mart Stores! Jake will be filling the newly created position of General Manager Operations and Marketing for Doidge TimBr-Marts and will be reporting directly to me.

Jake has a wealth of knowledge of our business and some of you will remember Jake from his days as our TimBr-Mart DDM a few years ago. Since that time, Jake has been in Western Canada at Woodlands TimBr-Mart, Grand Prairie, Alberta as the general manager for their three stores, where among other duties, oversaw a very large and successful expansion of their main location.

Jake commenced his duties with us on the first of November and has been making his way around to the stores to meet as many staff as possible and to help him become more familiar with each location.

Jake brings with him a lot of experience, enthusiasm, and work ethic and will have his office in the Welland store.

Please extend a warm welcome to Jake as he gets more settled and acquainted with our business and staff.

Dennis Doidge

President and CEO
