The business began shortly after Douglas A. Johnson worked part-time for a now dissolved septic service business, while living in Grand Bend, Ontario.The first truck put into operation was an old gasoline truck modified to pump sewage. This truck was a “bondo buggy” put together with the help of an army buddy. As the business grew, his wife Shirley Johnson was enlisted to handle the accounting.
In the 70’s the business expanded to include the installation of septic leeching beds. By 1975, his son Douglas J. Johnson joined the company full time to operate the Septic truck. In the 80’s portable toilet rentals were added to the roster. In 1986, John J. Johnson, return to Parkhill and began the job of servicing the ever increasing demand for portable rentals.
Beverly (Johnson) and her husband later joined in 1996. Beverly assumed Office Manager as Doug and Shirley began to distance themselves from the business to enjoy the “Golden Years”. Bev’s husband took over John Johnson’s service runs, while John focused on managing the portable rentals. Doug Jr. began managing the septic servicing and a new driver was hired to take his place on the road[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″ el_class=”shirley-img margnone”][vc_empty_space height=”70px”][vc_single_image image=”315″ img_size=”full”][vc_custom_heading text=”DOUG AND SHIRLEY” font_container=”tag:h1|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_row_inner el_class=”shirley-img listarea”][vc_column_inner el_class=”shirley-img” width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”316″ img_size=”full”][vc_column_text]
