Bob Dew
HR & EHS Manager – (NWR-Abbotsford)For over 35 years, I have had the pleasure of working for NWR. I have watched us grow exponentially from a little Red Barn with few employees, into a multi-site company with hundreds of great team-mates spread around North America. Along the way, they have given me the opportunity to grow with them through meaningful responsibilities, up-skilling, and leadership development. “Lifers” are rare these days, but I am proud to be one, and proud of the company I work with!

Every year we keep growing and get better and better as a team . I truly believe this is a workplace where if you show up everyday with the right attitude and work ethic, anything is possible.
