AT-PAC, a global leader in scaffolding manufacturing and solutions, has appointed Allan Hazzard as the new Managing Director for its Canadian operations.
This strategic move is aimed at enhancing the company’s presence and growth in the Canadian market, as AT-PAC transitions to a more localised management structure.
Operating in Canada since 2000, with a base in Edmonton, Alberta, AT-PAC’s Canadian branch has been managed under a unified North American structure until recently. With Hazzard’s appointment, the company is shifting its focus towards strengthening its leadership in Canada, supporting anticipated growth in both Eastern and Western markets.
Josh Dundon, AT-PAC’s CEO, welcomed the appointment, noting, “The appointment of Mr. Hazzard is a strategic step forward and will enable us to build off the existing talented team and our almost 25-year history in Canada to expand our presence and better serve our customers in important markets across Canada.”
Hazzard, who will be based in Calgary, brings over 20 years of leadership experience, including a decade in the modular building industry with WillScot.
His expertise in scaling businesses across diverse sectors, both in Canada and the U.S., positions him well to lead AT-PAC’s next phase of growth in the region.
Commenting on his new role, Mr Hazzard said, “I am truly honoured to step into the role of Managing Director for AT-PAC Canada at such an exciting time in the company’s journey. Having spent much of my career in roles focused on scaling businesses across diverse markets, I am thrilled to now lead a talented team in driving AT-PAC’s continued growth and innovation in the Canadian market.”
As Managing Director, Hazzard will lead AT-PAC’s Edmonton-based team and oversee the implementation of a comprehensive national strategy. This will involve enhancing the company’s sales, commercial, and operational structures to support its growing customer base and further expansion into new markets across Canada.
