(PRESS RELEASE) TORONTO — It is with great pride and excitement that we announce a change in ownership at Holman. AJ Sparkes has moved into the role of President and CEO, and is being supported by Rob Collins VP of operations, Shawn Hall VP of design and sales and Sylvain Couture, Controller.

AJ first joined Holman in 2015 in a business development role that became pivotal to the company’s growth in the years following his arrival. In 2019, the torch of ownership at Holman was passed from its previous owner and CEO, Wendy Cudney, to AJ Sparkes and Rob Collins.

Throughout the advancement of his leadership, AJ has had an unwavering vision of success that is predicated upon two things. The first is an absolute commitment to the customer and achieving their goals – a bar that is set extremely high and has resulted in client relationships spanning decades. The second, and equally as intuitive, is ensuring the empowerment and fulfillment of those working around him.

The continued growth of Holman has driven the company to recently expand our facilities and to staff up a powerhouse team to support the ongoing growth of the company. We would like to thank our hard-working staff and our loyal clients that have supported us along this path. We also look forward to fostering new relationships going forward.
