Hartley Richardson / Executive Chair, President, and CEO James Richardson & Sons, Limited
“I think it’s fair to say that Gerry has helped shape Winnipeg as much as Winnipeg shaped who he is as a business leader: resilient, resolute, and willing to take a risk in order to move forward. Gerry and I have known each other for 40 years, going back to the mid-1980s when our family held an ownership interest in E.H. Price. What impressed me about Gerry from the start was his determination to lead his family’s manufacturing company into the future and his unwavering stance on keeping its headquarters here in Winnipeg while growing its presence internationally. That commitment is not only a testament to Gerry’s passion for Winnipeg; it is a reflection of the hardy, homegrown values the city instilled in him.”
