BROWNING HARVEY LTD. “We have a very committed employee base,” he notes. “We have long standing employees. Recent retirements in the plants are 45-years plus with Browning Harvey Ltd. We are very proud of that. We’re very proud of the service level that employees have provided. That’s one thing we take quite seriously.” Williams adds that the plant operation is basically two-shifts, five days a week. The shipping operation is serviced over the same time period. Customers are serviced with deliveries on a Monday-Saturday basis. “Basically,” he continues, “we would take an order for a customer on day one and make it up that night to ship it to deliver to that customer on day two, and that’s essentially how the bulk of the business operates in terms of shipments and distributor location. We have a number of distributor locations across the province that we would ship tractor- trailer bulk shipments out of St. John’s into our distributor locations, and then from there they would service our customers in those regions.”
