Management Team

Randy Ward, President

Growing an organization like Diversified Staffing Services Ltd. requires a visionary leader. Randy has been the driving force behind the growth and change in Diversified since its inception in 1978. Randy has always believed in quality, responsive service, knowing his market, and a longer-term belief in partnered organizations, whether they are clients or business partners. He has taken this belief one step further with the development of the PEO Division, liaising with NAPEO(a PEO association in the USA), to provide an international flavour to a distinctly Canadian company.
