Good ideas attract good people. Which is one way of explaining the Craftsman Group’s success in building a stable of businesses, all under the ownership of Bill Hatswell. It all began with one autobody shop in Vancouver in the 1970s and has evolved into a group of market-leading companies in a variety of industries that including collision repair, manufacturing, and real estate development.
The Craftsman Group is very much a family affair with the company’s founder and CEO, Bill Hatswell at the helm. His sons and daughter oversee the individual companies within the Craftsman Group; Rick Hatswell, President of Craftsman Collision, Greg Hatswell, President of Craftsman Ventures and Melanie Allan, Vice-President of Craftsman Collision USA. It truly is a family business headquartered in North Vancouver, BC.
