Quiet and
modest, Tony James would rather be directing the spotlight than in
it. (That's why we're telling you his story and he isn't).
Tony
started Woodbridge Fireplace in 2003 and developed a line of
direct-vent gas fireplaces that was introduced to the market in
2004. The products were and still are manufactured in the Brampton,
Ontario facility which is also home to a 6,000 square foot state of
the art showroom.
Prior to
starting his own company, Tony enjoyed a rewarding 20+ year career
working in the same industry, holding positions such as
Director of Engineering and Product Development Manager
for well known North American industry leaders. Tony's experience
also includes Production Management, Quality Assurance, Purchasing,
Manufacturing Engineering, Lean Manufacturing, and Logistics.
