With our 2016 merger with U.S.-based Stealth Monitoring we are now the largest live video monitoring company in North America.”
“It is never easy to earn a spot on the PROFIT 500, but this year’s applicant pool was the most competitive yet,” said Deborah Aarts, PROFIT 500 program manager. “This year’s winners demonstrate the resilience, innovation and sheer management smarts it takes to build a thriving business today. Canada—and the world—needs more entrepreneurial success stories like these.”
