4 GORMAN GROUP EDGE / ISSUE #1
John Horgan
Premier of British Columbia
I would like to congratulate the Gorman Group and staff,
around the province, for a successful 70 years in the
forestry industry.
Forestry remains the cornerstone of the B.C. economy, and
you have been an integral part of this industry. You’ve weathered some ups
and downs, yet you rebuilt and reinvented your organization. The Gorman
Group is a true B.C. legacy and family success story.
Katrine Conroy
Minister of British Columbia, Forests, Lands, Natural
Resource Operations and Rural Development
I want to give a huge thanks to the Gorman Group for
being a key employer for hundreds of forestry workers and
contractors in several communities throughout B.C. The
story of the Gorman Group shows us how hard work and
perseverance can lead to success. Two brothers who needed
to provide for their families evolved their business in 1951 when their orchards did
not produce fruit to make wood fruit boxes. Today, they are known as the maker of
high-value quality wood products and the finest boards.
Congratulations.
