Lumby Pole

By 1982 it was evident that Gorman Bros. needed more timber.  When MacGillis and Gibbs Company Ltd. of Lumby was put up for sale including the assets of 19,000 cubic meters of AAC (annual allowable cut), Gorman Bros. was interested.  They purchased these assets as well as the pole manufacturing plant, fencing plant and a small saw mill.  The pole manufacturing plant continues to be in operation today managed by Marjorie Wiens, daughter of Ross Gorman.
