think we’ve got a lot of contracts just because our past clients speak so highly of us.” Reid credits that client loyalty to several factors. One factor is his personal history in the industry: “While working in previous companies as an employee, as a foreman, as a superintendent, I built relationships,” he says. “When we went out on our own, we already had that trust built with a lot of clients. It’s a small industry, people talk. That was a big advantage for us.” Another key factor is Zulu Aggregates’ commitment to providing a really professional service. They strive to create a positive atmosphere for employees, and they want employees to have fun, but they also demand they take the work seriously: “We strive to teach our personnel how to do things the right way and not to cut corners,” Reid explains. “That means showing up on time. It means keeping everything neat and tidy. It means putting safety first. Those are the expectations when you work here, and all our team members must buy in.” Moving forward, Zulu Aggregates intends to continue earning that team buy-in, both in Alberta and in British Columbia. Currently, the company is very active in both provinces. In Alberta, for example, Zulu is currently supplying aggregates on a municipal project for the town of Banff, as well as a road improvements program for Parks Canada, also around Banff.
