What is Humberview’s mission?
We pride ourselves on solid customer service. In fact, our
philosophy is simple, “Take care of your customers and
your customers will take care of you.” Coined by my father,
these unassuming words have formed the basis of how the
Humberview Group functions. Every day we try hard to serve
our customers better, by listening and providing the best
service possible. In fact, our mission statement highlights
this very element, “Serving customers better each and
every day”. The strongest part of this equation is creating a
collaborative team with positive energy, who also share the
same passion.
How is Etobicoke different from other parts of Toronto?
What stands out about Etobicoke is its sense of community.
It’s a close-knit part of the city where Humberview planted
its roots and grew from there.
Tell me about your philanthropic endeavors
Giving back to the surrounding community is a big part
of our focus. At every corner, we seek to contribute to the
surrounding neighborhood in whichever way we can.
Some of the initiatives we are the most proud of include
raising funds for the United Way, Mothers Against Drunk
Drivers, the Dorothy Ley Hospice Bed Race and The Sears
Great Canadian Run. Another personal passion of mine is
our cycling event to benefit the Etobicoke General Hospital.
My commitment to this organization extends to my active
seat on the board of directors of the William Osler Health
Foundation, which represents three local hospitals in west
Toronto, including the Etobicoke General Hospital. We’ve
also sponsored local hockey, baseball, and tee-ball teams
through our Good Sports Initiative.
Where do you see the Humberview Group in five or
ten years?
Simple, continuing down the same successful path of
growing our current operations to their fullest potential,
while always on the lookout for new opportunities. In
addition, we’ll endeavour to perfect Humberview as the very
best place for people to work, while ultimately providing
award winning customer service on every visit as well as
interaction.
What motivates you in life?
I would have to say, serving people is what makes me tick. I
put a great deal of effort into making sure every person who
crosses our threshold has a good experience, which I believe
starts with a well-oiled team.
Do you have a message for the next generation?
No matter what you decide to do, be the best at it, and always
strive to have fun in life.
