New Brunswick Small Business Spotlight: Websolutions.ca
Bathurst’s Websolutions.ca is a web technology company specializing in the creation of custom websites and web-based applications. The firm’s services also include branding, search engine optimization, and digital/social media marketing.
Websolutions’ clients include many of today’s top northern New Brunswick small businesses. The company’s creations, most notably the Work Order Management System used by Bathurst-based Roger Electric Motor Service, have really helped support the growth of those businesses.
“That work order system has helped grow their company, and the clients they’ve been able to land due to that service offering is a real feather in our caps as well as theirs,” notes Josh Gammon, president and co-founder.
Opportunities NB’s (ONB) Workforce Strategists work closely with New Brunswick companies to help them recruit top local and international talent. In 2016, the NBTechJobs.ca website (an initiative of ONB, the department of Post-Secondary, Education, Training, and Labour (PETL), and TechImpact) was in-market throughout the Vancouver region. Victor Luna was living in British Columbia when he visited the site and saw an opportunity with Websolutions. Luna, originally from Mexico City, investigated New Brunswick and applied for the job. He now lives in Bathurst and work as Websolutions’ newest Web Programmer.
“ONB has really stepped up to the plate in terms of helping us recruit good talent like Victor. Immigration is so important for this province, and people like Victor want to stay in Canada. We need to increase our population so I’m happy to see groups like ONB helping with workforce development like that,” says Gammon.
