COREY BENNETT

Corey is turning 27 years old in a few weeks.  He loves his birthdays so we make sure that we remember them. 🙂  He also has a lot of interests that keep him quite busy when he is not working at Denbow.   He loves to dance, bowl, listen to music & swim with his many friends.  Corey also has a creative side, writing stories.  ‘Garfield’ is a movie that he really loves “because it’s funny”!  He lives at home with his mom and dad and has an older brother named Richard.

Each week Corey arrives at work with a Tim Hortons coffee in his hands.  Sometimes he even brings a coffee or ice-cap for his two very favorite Denbow co-workers, Ray and Mike.  Corey loves to attend company functions.  We can count on him to dress up for the occasion and bring his enthusiasm with him.

Denbow has been blessed by the opportunity to provide part-time employment to Corey.  We look forward to continuing  to work with him as he grows his workplace skills and shares stories about dances and camps with us.

EMPLOYEE PROFILE: Willetta Les

employee profileWilletta Les

This month we would like to introduce you to our Office Manager, Willetta Les.  We have been blessed to have Willetta on the Denbow team for over twelve years!  To celebrate her 10 year employment at Denbow, we helped her achieve her dream of traveling around Europe early this fall.

Willetta started at Denbow fresh out of the University-College of Fraser Valley after completing a Business Administration Diploma.  Her first role was receptionist.   Through time and experience she has worked her way to her current role of Office Manager.

We have seen Willetta challenge herself to take on many more roles over the years.  She is self-taught in so many areas here at Denbow and learns from others around her.   Because of her keenness to learn, she will often come across as incredibly knowledgeable in the field of all things environmental; even though she has no schooling in it. J  Willetta will never say she ‘can’t’ do something until she has at least given it a try.

Willetta’s passion is anything that requires creativity.  Her favorite tasks are creating brochures, website material, and all other marketing that requires design work.  Because she loves creating things, Willetta and her sister, Leanne started their own business ‘Sister Made’ in which they create canvas’s, photo cards and many other items theysell online and at a variety of craft fairs.   This keeps them very busy and they love it.   You can read more about them here:  Sister Made

She is also called ‘Auntie Willy’ by her 4 nieces and takes this job seriously.   Willetta is appreciated by all her co-workers, friends and family for her generosity and being able to be counted on to help out in any way possible.  If there is ever a need, Willetta is one of the first people you can rely on to be there with a meal, kind words or a very nice hand-crafted card.

We look forward to many more years of working with Willetta.  Who else will keep us inspired to dream about traveling around the world?
