We are happy to announce that Martin Stimpson has joined Sales Outsource Solutions as Regional Sales Manager for the BC and Yukon Territory. Martin joins us after spending 20 years providing products and solutions to major service providers and fiber optic network builders in western Canada – most recently with TVC Canada.

Martin has a passion for technical products, understanding their unique points of difference, and how to effectively position them against the competition. Together with a well-practiced skill at learning clients’ needs and pain points, this has made him a go-to resource for his clients in the telecom industry. Martin has also been a three-time speaker at the Commtech trade show.

He holds a Bachelor of Commerce degree from the University of British Columbia and studied international business at the University of Copenhagen. A born and bred Vancouver boy, Martin enjoys running the seawalls and skiing at Whistler. “I spent six years coaching youth soccer, and many more as a parent taxi driver for other sporting events. With two grown sons now away attending university, my wife and I found the transition to an empty nest surprisingly easy." Now he is an avid reader of biographies, historical fiction, and is also a bit of a business book geek. He is currently working on “Shoe Dog" by Phil Knight.

It is with mixed emotions and sincere gratitude for his service that we are announcing the retirement of our B.C. Territory Manager, Doug McFadden, at the end of June. Doug has looked after major telecommunications accounts in British Columbia for the last five years.

This is Doug’s second retirement! He retired from Telus after a 34-year career, much of that focused on outside plant design. When Doug “retired” from Telus, he was Manager, Purchasing & Inventory Management. Doug then went to work for CommServe Marketing and joined SOS when CommServe was acquired.

Doug is looking forward to spending more time with his wife Dawne, his daughter, and his grandchildren. When things return to normal, they are looking forward to travelling again, as well as returning to their role as B.C. Bridge player champions with friends.

Unfortunately, due to COVID-19, we will have to delay his retirement dinner to a future date when we can all get together in person again.

Congratulations to Doug! Thank you for your service and we wish you an enjoyable, relaxing retirement.
