Very recently, Westburne Canada put out an announcement that Dave Syer, their Vice President of Westburne Canada, will be retiring soon after eight remarkable years with Westburne and Rexel.

During his time with them, Dave Syer has played a pivotal role in driving profitable revenue and market share growth for Westburne. His leadership has not only contributed to the company’s business success but has also fostered a positive work culture that has resulted in strong engagement scores across its teams.

In addition to his contributions at Westburne, Dave has been actively involved in the Canadian electrical industry, holding leadership roles within Electro Federation Canada (EFC), including serving as the EFC National Advisory Chair.
