Our Story

Our small Canadian‑born business was founded in 1978 and has become a global organisation spanning 120 locations across 20 countries. We believe that the places in which we live, work and play have the power to make us happier and healthier, and we are united by a shared sense of purpose to have a positive impact on people’s lives.

Collaboration is embedded in the way we work – our people have the autonomy to collaborate on client relationships, engage teams across the business, lead operations, work collectively on projects, participate in strategy and are ultimately responsible for our growth. Our distinctive Principal‑led, privately‑owned model gives every employee the opportunity to own a share of our business and inspires anyone to become a Principal, carrying voting rights and a real say in the future direction of our business.
