          own motivation to keep work-
        
        
          ers motivated when working
        
        
          in remote Northerly and natu-
        
        
          rally un-hospitable locations.
        
        
          Hospitality is at the heart of
        
        
          his company. “Remote hospi-
        
        
          tality is our number one ser-
        
        
          vice. And that’s pretty much
        
        
          camp management, catering,
        
        
          housekeeping, and logistics,
        
        
          and then secondly, the camp
        
        
          infrastructure and the camp
        
        
          equipment. Around that we
        
        
          have the delivery of it, so get-
        
        
          ting it out to sites, and some
        
        
          of these sites can be ocean-
        
        
          accessed only, some can be
        
        
          accessed by ice-road truckers,
        
        
          or by gravel road, and then we
        
        
          have the construction on site
        
        
          of the camp. The assembly of
        
        
          it is like putting all the pieces
        
        
          of Lego together,” he says.
        
        
          “Those are our two things:
        
        
          camp and catering.”
        
        
          Seems simple enough, but
        
        
          it is a well-honed strategic
        
        
          system in camp management,
        
        
          catering, housekeeping and
        
        
          the logistics that is served by
        
        
          supply chain management—
        
        
          like a well-managed hotel,
        
        
          the only catch is that it’s in
        
        
          the middle of nowhere.
        
        
          “Out here we’re really
        
        
          good at doing things way out
        
        
          in the middle of nowhere with
