Our People : Andrew Jackson
Meet Andrew Jackson, Salesman & Marketing Manager and Father of Two as he shares his exciting journey so far.
Introduce yourself...When and why did you join ChemSpec? What made you consider joining us?
I am Andrew Jackson, a Sales & Marketing Manager at ChemSpec, Canada and I joined in August 2019. Ready for a new challenge after 10+ years in the chemical industry. Joining SAFIC ALCAN as the first employee with ChemSpec Canada presented a unique opportunity to build a Canadian portfolio from the ground up. It has been a rewarding few years with ChemSpec and I look forward to continued growth with the organization.
What is something curious or funny we should know about you? (your hobbies, passions, etc.)
I have 2 daughters (Penelope – 3.5 and Paige – 18 months). Both keep me busy outside of the workplace. In my free time, I enjoy playing baseball, hockey, working out and golf.
What is your favourite story from your time at ChemSpec?
Trade shows and team-building events are always fun. Getting to interact with team members that I don’t necessarily get to communicate with on a day-to-day basis helps build relationships. I always enjoy the team events during our semi-annual sales meetings.
What is one main takeaway candidates wanting to join ChemSpec should know and look forward to?
Great team environment to join. All team members work together to accomplish corporate objectives. If you are a candidate looking to join a team, ChemSpec is an excellent place to call home.
Describe ChemSpec in 5 words:
