The North American Dream!
About Us
Kit Office Plus’s owners are immigrants to Canada from Ukraine and Poland. They both started with no English and humble beginnings. However, with incredible drive and determination, they quickly adopted, learned English, and became contributing members of our great nation! They carry the same philosophy of working hard from the ground up and treating all their employees equally!
Oksana started her career as a computer engineer in Ukraine. When she immigrated to Canada, she began working at Kit Office Plus in 2008, cleaning shelves and vacuuming floors. She excelled in all areas and positions she was put in and worked her way up the ladder. In 2018 she became the director and managing partner of the company.
Adrian immigrated to Canada in 1990 and grew up in Alberta. He pursued a career in Forestry and, as a Forester, held many different positions in Silviculture, Strategic Planning, and Operations. Then, as a silent partner in Kit Office Plus, Adrian decided to join the team in 2021. He started as a furniture installation technician and quickly immersed himself in the workspace wellness world.
The owners were in for a big surprise; soon after purchasing Kit Office Plus, Covid-19 hit the world and devastated our economy. They faced many challenges and uncertainty and once again faced them head-on with incredible drive, ingenuity and determination. They had to think fast and adjust their services and operations. They chose to marry their products with a growing trending service, office wellness and repetitive strain injury prevention. Their goal; is to improve business employee productivity, efficiency, creativity, focus, mood and reduce absenteeism through workspace wellness solutions and repetitive strain prevention. When most businesses began to freeze and conserve spending, they decided to invest in their business and its people. Through effective advertising, expansion into new geographic areas and bringing in new talent to their team, they strategically positioned our company to not only survive Covid-19, but to thrive in it.
We would like to recognize the hard work and determination of our staff! We could not have done all this without them; they make this company successful! Also, a BIG shout out to our loyal customers who supported us throughout the pandemic and continue to do so now. We sincerely thank you!!!
