          was
        
        
          named #1 out of Alberta’s top
        
        
          50 Fastest Growth (Alberta

          nies, increasing in size by
        
        
          113 per cent every year for
        
        
          the past 3 years. It could be
        
        
          said that President and CEO,
        
        
          Troy Ferguson, quite literally
        
        
          planted the foundation for
        
        
          Redrock’s success. Ferguson
        
        
          started out from the ground
        
        
          up as a tree planter work-
        
        
          ing across Ontario, B.C, and
        
        
          Alberta for 17 years prior to
        
        
          starting the company in 2006.
        
        
          Redrock, only in its eighth
        
        
          year, has seen tremendous
        
        
          growth starting with an em-
        
        
          ployee base of about 10 in late
        
        
          2006 and closing this year at
        
        
          a peak of 430 employees with
        
        
          $43.6-million in revenues re-
        
        
          ported last year. “We’ve had
        
        
          exponential growth since we
        
        
          got going. We’ve had financial
        
        
          stability come on our side,
        
        
          which is great when you’re
        
        
          trying to build a business,”
        
        
          Ferguson told Business Elite
        
        
          Canada in a recent interview.
