Taylor & Grant in Waterloo was recently bought out by Nassau Inn in New York State. As a result they are closing their manufacturing facility in Waterloo, ON. There are many great workers there and I thought this forum would be a good opportunity to mention the skill set and knowledge of these workers in hopes that you might have a job opportunity for them.
According to their website and in my experience with many Taylor and Grant employees they live by the mission of creates lasting, positive experiences by consistently delivering excellent service and creatively-packaged, quality food and drink products. Their team consists of employees from the order desk to the shipping docks who handle each order with care. Together they develop and test new products, continually improve their processes and support the community with year-round fund raising efforts. They very much believe in a culture of continuous improvement. They are challenged to find new ways of doing things, whether it is the way our top selling mint card is produced to how orders flow through their facility. Employees from every area of the business come together to form focus teams that analyze, report and implement changes to bring you-our customer more value. Their motto is “Create. Deliver and Serve. “ Many of them are regular attendees at the KW/Cambridge SIGs. Check them out on the web athttp://www.taylor-grant.com/ .

- 2 Graphic Artists – each with over 8 years experience and proficient in Adobe Creative Suite 4 and Corel Draw
