“William Standen Co.™ is humbled to be on the 2016 list of Canada’s Fastest-Growing Companies,” says co-founder and CEO Cassandra Nordell. “This achievement is a reflection of our steadfast desire to provide award-winning experiences to our clients. Consistent, record-breaking growth didn’t come easy and has taken tremendous effort from our leadership team and each and every teammate to keep up with the growth that we continue to experience.

We would like to thank our team for putting their hearts into their work and showing up ready to face the challenges that we have faced. Without them, our dream and our vision wouldn’t be possible.”
