8 BUSINESS VIEW MAGAZINE VOLUME 10, ISSUE 8 “We want to be everywhere that Newfoundlanders and Labradorians are,” she adds. “Whether that is at a soccer match or at a lake, we want people to know that we support our local groups, because local people support us.” Williams stresses the importance of maintaining the proper upgrades. “We are doing some technology upgrades in our warehouse operations,” he reveals. “That’s probably our next, most current upgrade, and that would basically be that we have some paper systems in our warehousing operations that we are converting to electronic. For example, order-picking and some other technology related to the handling of orders, the picking of orders and loading of orders onto our trucks is going into a hands-free electronic system with barcode scanning. That’s something we currently don’t have, but we are implementing that in the next few months. That’s the most recent example of some investment.” Williams cites workforce shortages throughout today’s business world but not at Browning Harvey Ltd. “In the plant operation,” he says, “most of the individuals that work in the plant would be hourly paid. They have a particular union that they are part of. The hourly paid group works in production, works in the warehouse, works in sanitation and works in maintenance. That’s a good, strong group of dedicated employees. Many of those employees have been with us a long time.” He believes that among the many things that Browning Harvey Ltd has done well is its work with its hourly-paid union staffers to develop a contract and agree on contract terms that benefit not only the employees but also the Packaging Solutions Maritime Paper and Hutton Group have been their proud supplier for over a decade of corrugated boxes made from renewable resources and recycled content materials. #maritimepaper #huttongroup #sustainablepackaging Browning Harvey Limited is celebrating 85 years in the production of soft drinks. .
