Our Team
Trafco is made up of a first-rate sales team who stands behind steadfast company integrity and passion.
James Plastow, General Manager
In 25 years, James has seen Trafco expand its business across Canada. But he can still appreciate the small company atmosphere that keeps the work at Trafco an adventure with friends rather than co-workers. James has experienced life in places that stretch from the Pacific to the Great Lakes, but calls St. Albert and Edmonton home where he is Trafco's General Manager. He began his career at the company working the order desk. Challenging situations and projects have kept him on his toes ever since.
David Wilson, Business Development Manager
David joins Trafco from the UK. Having had 15 years experience in Sales, 5 of that as a Real Estate Agent (please don't hold it against him!) and 10 years working for some of the premier highway product supply companies within the UK. He brings not just a sales but a design background to the table, having trained as an Architectural Technologist in the early 1980's. David has great visions for Trafco and is looking forward to contributing in a practical and supportive way towards the expansion of the company in the near future.
Kevin Shoults, Sales Manager-Saskatoon
Kevin could be described as someone who has stuck with Trafco through thick and thin, through good times and growing times. Straight out of college, Kevin began his career as a Sales Representative at Trafco, working from the basement of his boss' house with a sheet of plywood for a desk and sharing a phone. Now, 25 years later, he is responsible for the Trafco sales force in five offices across Western Canada. He coaches kids' sports teams and seeks new travel experiences to share with his wife, son, and daughter.
Lara Sevcik, Executive Assistant
For nearly 10 years, Lara has been part of the Trafco team. She is our Executive Assistant for the Edmonton office and has spent some time working the order desk and in shipping and receiving, both of which she enjoyed because of the level of interaction with her peers. On a hot summer day, her favourite thing to do is go biking at Silver Star in Vernon, B.C. with the family-her husband and two sons. In winter, she ventures to Rabbit Hill with skis and poles under-arm.
Terry Lutz, British Columbia Sales
Terry is one of the warmest personalities you could ever meet. She is a real rock of the sales team and brings a manufacturing background to the table. With can do attitude, she has built up her customer base with a fantastic foundation leading to customer relationships that have been sustained over many years. Having lived in the Lower Mainland area of BC for a lot of her life, she admits her heart is still on the Island. She wastes no time getting there whenever she can.
Sheri Rowell, Southern Alberta Sales
We are pleased to have Sheri join us not just for her wealth of experience in business to business sales, but for her professional yet personable disposition. Sheri excels in her attention to details which has proven to be a cornerstone in customer satisfaction. She would probably like to be known for her tenaciousness but with an understanding for flexibility if in the customers' best interest. Always looking to exceed her customers' expectations, she will leave no stone unturned to get the job done in a timely manner. With her leisure time at a premium, she makes the best of getting away from it all on the weekends to her hideaway in BC, relaxing by the lake and enjoying the fantastic scenery!
Bruce Best, Northern Alberta Sales
Bruce has joined Trafco after spending 30 years in the commercial real estate business. To say he brings a steady hand to the table is an understatement. His organisational skills are certainly to be admired and his customers warm to his excellent "bedside manner". Always thorough and professional in his dealings with his clients, Bruce will have no problem retaining a committed customer base across his region.
Brian Barg, Ontario Sales
Brian is referred to as "Our man in Ontario". Having started with no customers on his books earlier this year, he has now built up a fantastic client base second to none. Based on the principles of hard work and using foot leather to actually get out and see his customers. He is now starting to see the fruits of his labour with new potential markets opening up before him every day. He has great attention to detail which is reflected in his ability to see a job through to the end with the minimum of fuss.
