West Prince Timbermart

In the heart of Prince Edward Island, a small but steadfast business has transformed from small renovations. 

In the early years, the road was fraught with challenges. Staff shortages, financial hurdles, and the unpredictability of business growth. Through perseverance, West Prince Timbermart expanded its operations, growing into a bustling enterprise with a dedicated team and founder, Joey Carragher.

The company’s journey reflects a deep commitment to its core principles: taking pride in their work and valuing the people who make it all possible. Their growth not only signifies success but also represents the trust and support the business has garnered from its community and local partners.

The credit union has played a crucial role in this journey, offering financial support and personalized service that has proven invaluable. The ability to speak directly with a representative has been a significant asset, providing the business with the flexibility and responsiveness it needs to thrive.

West Prince Timbermart exemplifies the importance of local support. Unlike large, impersonal corporations, this local business actively engages with the community, sponsoring events, supporting fundraisers, and contributing to local causes. For Joey and West Prince Timbermart, supporting local isn’t just a business strategy—it’s a way of life. It’s about fostering connections and giving back to the community that has supported them through thick and thin.

In every project they undertake and every interaction they have, the company upholds the values that have guided them from the very beginning, ensuring that their success remains deeply rooted in the community they cherish.
