Rodney Enterprises Limited (REL) was founded by Ron
Jefferson in 1984. A graduate of the Nova Scotia Community College, Ron
studied drafting and architecture. He began selling architectural
specialty products from a small leased premise in Burnside. Ron began to
grow the product lines and became a manufacture's distributor for many
different products. Eventually the business grew to where Ron needed to
hire an estimator, then a purchaser, then a receptionist. As the
business continued to grow, Ron entered into a partnership with Tim
Pedersen, a graduate of St Mary's University, in 1990. Together the
management team of Ron and Tim began to grow the business by leaps and
bounds. Sales and profitability continue to grow.
REL purchased its current millwork division from a client in 1992. This
was a natural extension of the current business, as both divisions had
the same customer base. The millwork division is a custom manufacturing
operation, employing highly skilled tradesmen.
Our current workforce has grown to over forty employees, many of them
being with us for ten years or more. Today's marketplace sees REL
positioned as a main player. We have established many successful
relationships with top construction companies and institutional clients
throughout the Atlantic Provinces. We continue to have strong
partnerships with our manufactures and suppliers, and with a strong
management commitment, the future looks very bright.
