TARA WALLBRIDGE
Sales Co-ordinator
Tara is responsible for our sales administration and keeps things in order
when times become a little hectic. If everything works fine 'behind the
scenes' then that's a sure sign that Tara's guiding hand helped organizing
it.
Tara's second task is to assist with the selection and configuration of
our Architectural Wire Rope Assembly products. And with the hundreds of
possible design variations this is a very demanding task and often requires
active input from our customers.
As Tara's two kids keep her busy the 'rest of the day' she still tries to
find some relaxing time with a colourful drink in her hand floating in the
pool. That is, when our Ontario weather permits, of course.

JUSTIN PAVLIS
Branch Manager, Edmonton
Justin was born in Sparwood, B.C, but came to Alberta some 22 years ago.
As of 2007 his experience with wire rope and rigging products exceeds more
than 10 years.
Justin is a perfect fit in his role as branch manager since
he brings a lot of Alberta/Western Canada specific product and application
experience with him. Coupled with his knowledge and Unirope's technical
resources he feels that Alberta's wire rope users community will greatly
benefit from this expertise combination.
Justin is married to Lori and enjoys being her chef, sometimes. This is
our second chef at Unirope, the other one is Scott Anthony. One day, there
will be a 'cook off', the rest of us hope.
Other than that he likes the outdoors, fishing, and camping. |
