Harold Druken, NEW St. Johns On Side Restoration Branch Manager

From Hockey to Construction and Restoration, Druken is a Solid All-Round Player

St. John’s, NL – On Side Restoration is pleased to announce that as of September 2013, Harold Druken has joined as the Company’s new St. John’s Branch Manager.

Native to the St. John’s area, Harold not only brings home town knowledge and a valuable construction-related background, but some fame too. After playing professional hockey for seven years the local-hockey hero was forced to quit due to sports-related injuries and ten subsequent surgeries.  Over the transitional year out of professional sports, he purchased a piece of land to build his own house.  Greatly enjoying the building process, Druken started his own residential construction company shortly after completing his own home, and Jagger Contracting Inc. (named after his son) was established in 2010. Since this time, Harold Druken has built multiple homes and completed numerous renovation projects throughout the St. John’s area. However, sensing the need for a continued career evolution, Harold came across On Side’s online job posting for the Branch Manager position. And well, you could say, the rest is history as he is now aligned with On Side Restoration and looks forward to continuing to grow and serve the St. John’s area.

“Helping people in their time of need is a very rewarding experience. It is this feeling that makes it easy for me to come to work every day” stated Harold Druken, Branch Manager.

Jeff Hall, On Side Restoration Regional Manager of Ontario and Atlantic Canada, welcomes Harold and is pleased to have signed such a fitting, home-grown talent to further strengthen the Company’s business within the St. John’s community. Hall commented “Although On Side is relatively new to Newfoundland, our Company has been providing restoration services to the private and commercial insurance industry since 1979. Newfoundland is a unique market and we felt a qualified, local hire was best way to respect and continue the great work that A&R Services always conducted.”

This spring look for On Side Restoration’s new St. John’s location to be stationed at 1 Austin Street, in central St. John’s. On Side’s current office is located at 446 Old Broad Cove Road in Portugal Cove, previous A&R headquarters. Purchased in 2012, On Side is steadily converting all branded components to reflect the new ownership. On Side is also honored to have inherited over 30 trained staff and a long list of satisfied customers.
