Then in 1987 Newfoundland Hard-Rok Inc was incorporated as a separate entity by Glen McKay who sold part of it to MRO employees Carl Foss and Keith Phelan, who were heading up the explosives division of MRO. It’s been a booming success. Keith and Carl take care of operations and McKay takes care of finance and administration. Our operating premise is that if you really value your people, they in turn will increase the value of your business. Simple but very effective. http://www.hardrok.ca
