For the first time in over four decades, Ron Fawcett will not be the President of the Kelson Group.
The organization announced this morning that Ron's son Jason Fawcett would be taking over the helm as President. Formerly the Vice President, Jason had been leading operations of the company for years now.
“Today, I am so pleased that Kelson Group, a family-owned and operated company, is announcing that my son, Jason Fawcett, our former Vice President, Operations, will take on the role of President,” said Ron. "Jason, together with his brother Kelly who is our Vice President, Maintenance and Construction, have been leading the operations of the company for years."
"I view this announcement as not only the reality of what our company structure has looked like for quite some time, but this change will enable Jason and Kelly to lead the evolution of Kelson Group as we grow. This is a proud day for me, not just as a business owner, but as a father too.”
Ron will now act as the Executive Director and Founder of the company. This will leave him more time to work on construction projects the company is planning to develop.
“Our father has always been a big picture thinker and a great visionary,” said Jason. “He has this incredible ability to see opportunity where others may not and build upon that. He is really the biggest reason Kelson Group is here, and why it has seen continued success."
"I am honoured to take on this role and to help lead the exceptional work our company does. We will continue to provide an exceptional place for our staff team to build their careers as they help our residents live better.”
As one of the largest private owners in western Canada, the Kelson Group has purchased apartment buildings to own and operate for years. Recently, they finished building and leasing out a 106-suite apartment building in the Panorama District of Surrey and are working on two new builds at TRU.
“I know Kelly and I have always been inspired by our father and what he has accomplished. "We look forward to continuing on that longstanding tradition of excellence modelled for us and our entire team.”
Big news from the group is expected to be announced in the near future.
