When Jeremy Okolisan is at events, past Dumas employees and their families stop to talk about the impact it has had on them.
“They’d say ‘Oh my dad worked for Dumas, or my uncle worked for Dumas and you really took care of your people’” said the Dumas Contracting Ltd. president. “I think that was a big take away for me, and it was in my first month so I knew I made the right decision and everything I’ve heard about this company is true.”
On Wednesday (Aug. 21), the Timmins contractor celebrated its 30th anniversary with bouncy castles, a barbecue, and sunshine, as well as words of pride and gratefulness from the company’s leadership.
The commitment to take care of each other is something Okolisan was very conscious of during the celebration.
“We want to show our staff that we really appreciate what they’ve done for us,” he said. “Really, they’ve built this business along with the leaders.”
