Labrie Group Solutions is pleased to welcome three new team members as we continue to strengthen our direct sales, parts, and service support across Ontario.

Patrick Hacon joined the team on March 20 as Service Manager. Patrick brings more than 25 years of experience as a licensed mechanic, along with the past 10 years serving as a Service Manager in the contractor equipment industry. His customer-first mindset, leadership skills, and strong service background will be a valuable asset to Labrie GS and to the customers we support every day.

Mike Gauvreau joined Labrie GS on April 13 as Service Road Technician. Mike comes to Ontario directly from the Labrie factory in Quebec, bringing with him valuable factory experience and hands-on training. His technical knowledge and product familiarity will be a strong advantage for our Ontario Labrie customers in the field.

On April 20, Lindsay Prichard joined the team as Inside Parts & Inventory Manager. Lindsay brings more than 10 years of experience in parts, inventory, and procurement, including the last 5 years managing a team of five while supporting national accounts, contractors, and municipal customers. Her refuse industry knowledge, customer focus, and ability to lead in a fast-moving growth environment will bring added strength to our Ontario operations.

These additions reflect Labrie GS’s continued commitment to building a strong local team dedicated to supporting customers with responsive service, parts expertise, and industry knowledge.
