"First of all you start with a good product and then you surround yourself with a bunch of good people and some terrific customers. It's that easy," he says. For Randy it is all about keeping the customers happy. "The most aggravating thing that can happen to a customer is to have a piece of equipment that isn't working," he explains. "Our philosophy is when it's fixed it should stay fixed. We don't do patch jobs," he adds. It is that kind of attitude that is typical of the way Randy does his job and it ensures customers keep coming back to Lions Gate Trailers Ltd. for their rental and service needs. "We have customers who know that when it comes down to getting the job done, we are the first ones in this business that they call.
