Lonny Thiessen needs advice about getting advice.
Mr. Thiessen is the president and chief executive officer of Western Manufacturing Ltd., the Grande Prairie, Alta.-based business he founded in 2008.
The company, which specializes in steel fabrication and manufacturing for the oilfields, is growing tremendously, generating $32.8-million in revenue in 2011, a figure Mr. Thiessen expects to break $60-million for 2012.
But “I’m [just] 26 years old,†Mr. Thiessen says. “Within our management pool, just about everybody’s under 40. “It’s a very energetic group, which is a lot of fun to work with. But there’s just not a lot of that grey-haired experience that says, ’I’ve been here, done this, and this is how it works.’â€
He's 26, with $60-million in revenue, but could still use advice | Globe and Mail
