To take the advantage of the mini-booming in commercial construction in south-western BC in 1989, Bruce Sharpe, the VP Sales and Estimating, persuaded Woody's directors that they were well placed to expand their manufacturing business (Wideman, n.d.). Bruce idea was strengthened by two initiatives: The claim/advice by Miles Faster, the VP Production, that Woody`s Company needed to completely move to new and more modern facilities as production efficiency was being thwarted by lack of manufacturing space (Wideman, n.d.). The vision by John of growth based on computer controlled automation (Wideman, n.d.).
