Building The Perfect Spot - Don May
Knappett Industries Ltd. is a leading supplier of construction services for residential subdivision development, underground utility installation and replacement, road building and land clearing needs on Vancouver Island and Northern BC. Since 1988, the company has been active in the Comox Valley and Campbell River area.
“Finding a big enough piece of property that meets our business requirements has been a challenge,” says Don May, Knappett Operation Manager.“ With Bevan, we have found that with 2.5 acres of level property. It is the perfect spot for us to accommodate building a new, expanded office, warehouse, storage facilities, and operate a large equipment yard.
Working for the Village of Cumberland, the City of Courtenay and the Comox Valley Regional District, Bevan’s central location is ideal for Knappett. “And it is a beautiful piece of property,” says May.
“Some of our employees live in Cumberland and they love it. The biking and everything else is perfect for our employees too.“
There are a number of light industry businesses looking for suitable space and property and the Bevan development provides plenty of opportunity for growth.
