Pickering is the Right Place to Invest. Listen to what some of our Business Ambassadors have to say about doing business in Pickering.
Search Engine People
"When we realised that we needed to expand our office, we chose to move to the City of Pickering. The proficiency and dedication shown by staff at the City gave us a level of comfort in knowing we had made the right decision. Our employees are thoroughly enjoying the new office in Downtown Pickering. Not only does it provide easy access to Highway 401, it's steps away from a major transit hub which provides excellent connectivity across the Greater Toronto Area." Jeff Quipp, CEO, Search Engine People.
First Gulf
"First Gulf was awarded the contract by Siemens Canada to construct a 192,000 sq. ft. design built facility in Pickering, Ontario. Our experience working with the City's Economic Development, Planning and Building Services staff was by far one of the best we have experienced. The professionalism and dedication shown by staff at the City demonstrates what a great place Pickering is for doing business!" Brian Harrison, Vice President, Business Development, First Gulf Corporation.
