Gavin Semple to receive ABEX Leader of the Year The Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce recently announced that the 2016 ABEX Business Leader of the Year is Gavin Semple, a well-known Saskatchewan businessperson and chairman of the Brandt Group of Companies. The award will be presented at the 2016 ABEX awards, to be held in Saskatoon on October 22. Semple began his journey at Brandt as a territory salesman at the age of 27 in 1972 and his drive and ambition was quickly reflected in a rise through the ranks in the company. A mere four years later, he had become president and general manager and soon after secured his position as primary shareholder. Since this time, Semple and his son Shaun have grown
the company into an industrial manufacturing giant, with nearly 2000 employees and a growing international audience; serving the agriculture, forestry, rail, mining, construction, and tube and pipe industries in over 20 countries with unique custom products. Semple has received considerable recognition for his abilities as a business leader, including an honorary Doctor of Laws degree from the University of Regina. Despite his considerable success and recognition, Semple displays an incredible humility. He attributes his success to his farm upbringing, knowing the value of hard work and the value of the people working alongside him. It is second nature for Semple to show pride for his employees and rewarding
them for their dedication and hard work. Semple’s generosity benefits many important causes in Saskatchewan, which further underscores his importance as a business leader and Brandt’s role as a corporate citizen. After surpassing $1 billion in annual revenue in 2011, the Semples and Brandt launched the ‘Thanks a Billion’ program, which continuously gives back to the customers, employees and communities who have reached that milestone. “Gavin Semple is a remarkable and visionary leader who has given so much to this province.” said Steve McLellan, CEO of the Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce. Tickets for the ABEX Awards, October 22 are available on the Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce website.

In its latest drilling activity update, CAODC draws attention to the difficult challenges facing the oil and gas industry. Mark Scholz, CAODC president, emphasizes the depth of the current downturn. “The oil and gas services industry is facing the most difficult economic time in a generation. In fact, 2016 will be the worst year in our recorded drilling activity history (1977),” said Scholz. CAODC is concerned about federal government fiscal and regulatory policies making a bad situation worse for the country.“The introduction of new carbon taxes and higher corporate taxes in Alberta, compounded with federal delays on new pipelines and

Although government does not have control over the price of oil, it has influence in ensuring Canada is an investment destination of choice once the industry recovers.” By the end of the year, the Canadian Association of Oilwell Drilling Contractors will know the fate of a number of critical pipeline projects and whether LNG exports will become a reality in British Columbia. The ability to export Canada’s resources has a dramatic impact on our national economy. “If the federal government is serious about strengthening the middle class and creating long-term employment opportunities for Canadians, it needs to approve these projects,” concludes Scholz.
