Wall-Tech Restoration, an Ontario-based building envelope restoration services provider, has appointed Edward Welch as president and general manager.

Welch, an engineer by trade, joins the 16-year-old company after 30 years of combined building restoration and project management experience. He recently served as president of Pivotal Projects where he managed a team of 120 project management professionals in eight offices across Canada.

“I’m thrilled to be joining Wall-Tech, said Welch. “The company has a strong reputation of great teamwork and quality craftsmanship that I hope to build on for the future. “I’m excited to be working closely with our project teams to help create successful outcomes for our clients.”

Welch joins the Wall-Tech management team of Operations Manager John Sawicki and Chairman Clem Smid. He will be responsible for overall business direction, client relationship management and the engagement of the company’s approximately 80 skilled employees.

“Ed is a great addition to the Wall-Tech team,” noted Smid. “As a seasoned executive with direct experience in the industry, we’re looking forward to his contributions to the future growth of Wall-Tech.”

“We’re really proud of the company’s success,” added Sawicki. “We’ve grown substantially over time and Ed’s experience will help us evolve our processes and systems to best support our larger team.”
