Andrew Westlund
Andrew is a serial entrepreneur, and the founder of Apex Communications back in 1989. Apex started out with 1 location in Burnaby; Andrew grew Apex to the number #1 Business dealer in the country, and developed industry-leading tools that are still recognized today as best in class. As the head of the Westlund Group of companies, Andrew is responsible for constructing some of the most creative and successful brands in Canada. When he’s not up early working on business, Andrew loves to be on 2 wheels; whether that’s a road bike, mountain bike, or his dirt bike, if it’s got 2 wheels, then giddy-up.
Joel MacDonald
Chad Bennett
Chad started with Apex in 2002 at our Surrey location. Chad learned sales quickly and soon became one of the top sales reps in our company. Chad also realized he enjoyed the leadership side and moved on to become a Regional Sales Manager, he has moved up the ladder several times since then. Although Chad’s passion and seriousness for the company always comes through, anyone that works with Chad appreciates his kind heart and appreciation for his fellow employees. A true family man, Chad loves spending time with his wife and 3 sons, creating memories and eating really good donuts.
Doug McLean
Doug has been with Apex so long that no one is really sure of his start date. Although Doug started out in sales it was evident early on that he had an eye for the business and finance side of things, and he quickly moved over to that side of the business. Doug is the go-to guy for anything operational or financial for the entire group of companies. If you drive by really early in the morning and see a light on in the building, that’s probably Doug getting an early jump on things. Doug is known to enjoy a nice relaxing glass of wine with his wife, and like Chad, also has 3 kids, all boys.
Massimo Magnante
Massimo joined the sales side of Apex in 2011 in Toronto. Massimo quickly moved up the ranks and became one of the top dealer sales reps in all of Canada. Mass, as he’s known, was always eager to learn new products. In fact, he was the first sales rep in Canada to sell TELUS Business Connect (ask him over a beer one day how that went) Massimo, a proud Italian loves his yearly trips back to Italy and more recently has taken up a new passion, golf. Good luck with that one Mass.
