Chilliwack, Fraser Valley
Chilliwack is a farming and manufacturing city at the eastern end of the Fraser Valley, with a military base, families who moved out from the city, and a strong tradition of locally owned companies. Businesses here serve a wide area and are often run by owners who do the work themselves. We give them a leadership team and the departments to grow without losing the hands-on culture.
The local economy, in plain words
- Dairy, poultry and crop farming with the processors and suppliers around it
- Manufacturing, fabrication and agricultural equipment businesses
- Residential construction and trades serving a growing valley population
- A military base and the services around it
- Outdoor recreation, tourism and the businesses along the river and the lake
What we do in Chilliwack
Chilliwack engagements usually start with an outsourced marketing department and a sales systems team, because the company serves a territory from Abbotsford to Hope and needs a pipeline that does not depend on the owner's phone. A fractional COO then builds the schedule, the roles and the weekly rhythm, and a fractional CFO adds a margin picture alongside your CPA.
Playbooks for crews, dispatch and the office are written early because new hires here often come from outside the industry.
Who we work with here
Growers and processors, equipment and fabrication shops, HVAC, plumbing and electrical contractors, home builders, auto and fleet service businesses, and the clinics and professional offices that serve the city. Trades companies get the specialists behind Ali's published HVAC results. Farm and processor clients get the business side only, with agronomy and regulatory matters left to their own licensed specialists.
Many owners want to spend less time in the business, and our interim executives and leadership coaching are built for that transition.
How engagements run in Chilliwack
Ali drives out for on-site days, typically combining a leadership meeting with time on the floor or in the yard. The specialists for finance, data and automation join by video and work directly in your systems.
We document the core processes, set up AI agents for quote follow-up, scheduling and review requests, and run a weekly scorecard the owner can read from the yard. Pricing is per seat or per department, with Growth Partner terms available to companies with proven demand.

Questions from Chilliwack
Is Chilliwack within your in-person territory?
Yes. The eastern valley is still in-person territory for us. Ali and the operations lead meet you at your premises, and the rest of the team joins by video.
Can you build a marketing department for a company serving the whole valley?
That is the usual starting point. The department targets each community you serve, tracks which produce the best jobs, and feeds a sales system that follows up every enquiry.
Do you help with hiring in a smaller labour market?
We design the role for the people who are actually available, write a first-month playbook so someone from outside the industry can succeed, and run the screening alongside you.
Tell us which seat is empty.
A 30-minute call with Ali about the business and the people running it. You leave knowing which role to fill first and whether fractional, outsourced or a hire is the right answer, whether or not we work together.
