Testimonials
Gord Griffiths certainly has had a significant impact on my career. We have worked together four times – with Quebecor, St. Joseph, Pareto and Cenveo. Along the way I have learned a number of management lessons from Gord – keep it simple, focus on your people, and lead with a little humour.
Even when the going was tough you knew that Gord had your back and was invested in your success – I’ll always be grateful to call him a colleague, mentor, and a friend.
Gord Griffiths and the Connecting For Results (“CFR”) team are an exceptional group to work with.
When it was time to put our 100+ year old company into the hands of a new steward, the CFR team launched this project with a strategic and thoughtful approach. Screening of prospects took key objectives into account including our desire Maracle continue at its current location maintaining employment for our dedicated crew.
While buy-sell transactions are inherently challenging, CFR’s seasoned team was always available to offer guidance in working through sticking points. I have no hesitation in strongly recommending the print industry experts at CFR when the time comes to make big decisions.
I have known Gord Griffiths for over 60 years. We attended public school together and our parents were friends. I suspect Gord first became interested in Print as a young man observing our family business, Thompson Printing, founded over 65 years ago in Paris, Ontario.
The Print Industry is a small world and as it happens Gord’s partner Bob Dale, taught our son Jamie who graduated from the Print Program at Toronto Metropolitan University.
When Gord, as a young man, left our little town and went out into the world to find his way, he landed in Owen Sound for his first job at RBW. It came as no surprise that it was not many years before he was President of Canada’s largest Print Company, Quebecor. Gord’s career has been wide and varied and in spite of people not always believing he could do it, he has succeeded with skill, attitude, integrity and hard work while helping everyone and not ever forgetting his roots.
There is no question that Gordon Griffiths vast experience in the Print Industry will be an asset to anyone using the services of Connecting for Results.
Having watched the evolution of Gord and Bob and their team at Connecting for Results over the last few years, I believe that given the rapidly changing environment within the print and packaging industry, we need an organization like this, now more than ever, that has the years of industry knowledge to navigate the headwinds that our industry is currently facing.
Thank you to Gord and the Connecting for Results team. Over the last several years, CFR’s engagement on several projects has been instrumental in helping define my company’s road map for the future.
While CFR has been of significant support in many areas within my businesses, their role in acquisitions I have carried out has been key. CFR’s ability to understand my business and vision, supported by their reach within the industry marketplace, has been inspiring. They have identified key targets and presented supporting information, financial and otherwise, which have made the process not only seamless but easy. I am grateful for CFR and our partnership and look forward to continuing to work together.
