In 1895 John D Sanderson was working
as a shingler and lather for a another roofing company when
he decided to strike out on his own and formed his own firm.
At first it was small - just himself and another man. Gradually
he expanded his services and staff to include flat roofing and
sheet metal work. Unfortunately in 1908, while still in his
thirties, he became seriously ill and died.

His son Herbert, still a teenager
at the time, took over the running of the business and managed
it through the great Depression and the turmoil caused by two
World Wars. Prior to 1920 he took in his brother Arthur as a
partner. Herbert was our longest-serving president and he put
his mark on the firm more than anyone else.

In the late 1940's Arthur became
seriously ill, and Herbert hired Lloyd Mann (who was married
to Herbert's daughter Roslyn). Lloyd had just returned from
serving overseas as a decorated RCAF bomber pilot during the
Second World War. Herbert loved the business and kept working
well into his 80's, gradually turning over the management to
Lloyd. Herbert died in 1978 and Lloyd Mann became president
although he had been managing the business prior to that time
due to Herbert's advancing age. Lloyd modernized the firm considerably
during this time.

In 1966 Lloyd & Roslyn's son
Donald began working part-time for the firm while still in high
school. He continued working there through university and later
joined the firm on a full time basis and has been running the
business for the last few years. The firm is currently owned
by Lloyd Mann (H W Sanderson's son-in-law), Roslyn Mann (Herbert
Sanderson's daughter) and Donald Mann (J D Sanderson's great-grandson).
