DURABUILT WINDOWS & DOORS
Joe Sunner and his 19-year-old son Harry , came to Canada from the UK in 1994 . Harry is engagingly frank about their complete ignorance about Edmonton , about Alberta , and about any business except perhaps smallscale shop keeping , in which father and son had worked together since the latter was 11 .
They thought they would simply continue in the business they knew – beyond that it is hard to see that they had any significant assets that would mark them out for business success . They didn ’ t even have a lot of money and they definitely had no plan . But , in fact , they had assets that are beyond price and which make theirs a story to be digested by any aspiring entrepreneur who thinks you need seed capital , an expensive education , an MBA and deep business knowledge to build a sustainable enterprise .
Upon embarking on Canada ’ s soil , Joe Sunner encountered a small window manufacturer who encouraged them to join them in their business venture . With no manufacturing ability or familiarity , Joe took on the challenge alongside his son , Harry , with a go-to attitude to face the obscurity meticulously .
Within two years of amalgamation , the partner decided to part ways . Thereon , the Sunners painstakingly embraced full-on , the business wholly , surpassing bridges of challenges together .
The Sunners bought out their partner and took a good look at what they were left with .
