Alex Currie
was raised on his family's farm.
At a young age, he began an apprenticeship toward his auto
mechanic's license. On December 20th 1949, he purchased
his first garage, providing gasoline sales and auto
repairs. This business grew rapidly, and in order to
better service his customers, Alex traded his car for a
PTO-driven winch and commenced to build himself a tow truck.
The key to the success of the business
in the beginning years and those thereafter, was the commitment
to ensuring the satisfaction of all customers. This
standard allowed the growth that Alex has enjoyed from his
original location to the current 40,000 square foot facility
located in Barrie. |

| Over the past
50 years, Alex has dedicated his time to serving the local
citizens of the area in which he was raised. He was
elected to council for the Village of Elmvale, where he was a
member for 13 years. He served as Deputy Fire Chief of the
Elmvale Volunteer Fire Department for a period of 28
years. Alex also worked with both the Elmvale Lions Club
and the Masonic Lodge. |

|
Although these
activities, and the commitment to ensuring the success and expansion of
the business took a great deal of time, Alex's priorities have always
remained focused on his family. Alex raised his three children --
Don, Glenn, and Heidi -- demonstrating good business practices and
values. Today, each own and continue to expand the separate
companies which he established.
Today, and for the past 50 plus years, Alex
enjoys the challenge created |
 |
by recovering heavy vehicle
incidents. Alex's modern fleet and commitment to the heavy
towing and recovery industry, as well as his dedication to
honest, professional service has gained him respect in both
Canada and the United Sates. In 1987, he was honoured by
his fellow industry leaders with a nomination and subsequent
induction into the International Towing and Recovery Hall of
Fame. |
