ATLANTIC CANADA Brown says with a work force of 200 employees, Guildfords is well positioned for future growth, but in its own way. “We are lucky to have good people working with us, people who know our way of doing business,” he said. “We have very little turnover in our staff. We have employees who have been with the company more than 40 years and several more who have been with us for more than 25 years. That means there is a strong sense of history in the company, and a strong sense of family that has been here since the beginning.” Besides common ownership, Brown says a common- ality to all of the Guildfords Group’s companies is quality and a commitment to safety and customer service.
