OWTFA Hires Executive Director
By Gerry Frey, OWTFA President

In a move to solidify our administration and create a solid foundation for growth the OWTFA has hired Mike Phillips to become the association's new Executive Director. Mike has been involved with the organization for many years. Since 2001 he has assisted at our AGMs. But if you go way back to when the organization was first formed in the 1980's Mike was there.

In the late 1980s he created some ads, developed our first logo and attended AGMs. Other than observing the OWTFA from the sidelines Mike has spent the last 20 plus years providing various clients with marketing and communications services through his marketing company, MVP Marketing. Clients have included other trade associations such as the Canadian Pallet Council, Structural Board Association, Canadian Association of Warehousing; Distribution Services, and the Canadian Food Brokers Association. Plus he has worked with elements of the wood industry and in many other business-to-business marketing situations.Currently his biggest client is Toronto clothing retailer Tom's Place.

Outside of work Mike tells me he takes an active role in the sporting pursuits of his 3 male children, primarily in soccer and hockey. He is happily married and lives in south Etobicoke in Toronto. Expect to hear from Mike as we get the organization moving on various projects through the fall and this winter.

Mike's contact details are:
