Last week, the Professional Retail Store Maintenance Association (PRSM), presented Randall Linton, President of ServiceNational Canada, with the Canadian Excellence Award. The award was presented during the PRSM Canadian Conference in Toronto, and recognizes Mr. Linton’s leadership and service in the retail facilities management industry and within PRSM Association.

Mr. Linton is a highly regarded facility management leader and has been a key contributor to the worldwide PRSM Community. He is a firm believer in collaborating with others, proven by his extensive involvement in PRSM. Since joining PRSM, he has attended every PRSM National and Canadian Conference, and has served on the Best Practices Committee, presented at conferences, authored white papers, delivered webinars and has had numerous articles published in PRSM Magazine and other industry leading publications.

Leigh Pearson, Chair of the PRSM Board of Directors, and Director, Facility, Environment and Procurement for Staples Canada, presented the prestigious award to Linton and recognized his leadership. “Randall is a natural teacher, and continuously strives to educate, inform and share his valuable experiences with others. He has built a highly successful, national maintenance company based upon competence, confidence, mutual trust and respect for his clients, his employees and the industry. It is an honour to present him with the PRSM Canadian Excellence Award,” said Ms. Pearson.

Upon receiving the PRSM award, Mr. Linton said, “I am extremely honoured to be recognized by my industry peers and by PRSM with this award. It is a privilege to serve our customers and to be a member of PRSM. I want to thank my ServiceNational team for their hard work and dedication and all of the PRSM members who have helped us along the way. We appreciate the opportunity to be a part of this industry and part of PRSM.”

Mr. Linton and his brothers are co-owners of Interior Care Limited, in its 55th year, providing professional maintenance services to commercial offices and condominiums, and ServiceNational Canada, Inc., which provides full contract maintenance of retail stores across Canada.

The Canadian Excellence Award was created to recognize the highest levels of professionalism in retail facilities management.
