values reflected in the work they produce and the satisfaction of their clients. As Arthon grows, Keith says that Arthon will strive to maintain their relationships with partners like TwinCon, and he says that when they bring on new partners, they will look for the same values. Moving forward, from a contracting perspective Keith also says that Arthon will continue to “look at what’s happening in the resource sector.” “In British Columbia, there’s a lot of resource development happening in the northwest and parts of the northeast, so we’ll continue to look at those opportunities.” Arthon manages Ponds Ventures Inc. (Ponds) – a land development company that is owned by the family of the majority owner of Arthon. Ponds is currently looking to develop land to help meet the growing demand for housing in Kelowna. Arthon is likely to be a part of those projects in the future as well. Lastly, when it comes to their mining and aggregate production activities, Josh says “we are busier than we’ve ever been.” “It’s a growing market, and we’ve seen dramatic increases in recent years,” he says. “We want to do our part to satisfy the needs of that market.” As part of that effort, Arthon plans to start producing new products within the next year and grow their product range. They also plan to continue refining and expanding their recycling capabilities: “We’re going to have a heavy focus on recycling,” Josh concludes. “That’s what we’ve noticed people want. Our recycled product so far has functioned really well, and all our material assessors have been happy with it. We want to keep going down that path. We want to help our clients be as efficient as possible.” NOVEMBER 2023
