New Name for 50 Year Legacy Business

Apr 25, 2016 | 6:42 AM

One of Prince Albert’s legacy businesses has undergone a name change. On April 22, Zep Factory Outlet was officially renamed HVL Distribution at a public unveiling during an event in conjunction with the 50th anniversary of the family run business.

Kevin Isbister, owner and General Manager, recounted how the business was launched in 1966 when his grandparents, Delores and George Davison, bid on and won the cleaning contracts for the Margo Fournier Centre and the Prince Albert Police Station. Shortly after PA Janitorial Service Ltd. was born and began providing commercial cleaning services, construction clean up services and carpet care to Prince Albert and area.

By 1972 the family run business was doing so well that it expanded and began offering cleaning supplies as well as cleaning services resulting in a name change to PA Janitorial Services and Supplies. Fast forward ten years noticing the conflict of interest, the Davison’s sold the cleaning services side of the company, resulting in another name change to PA Janitorial Supplies Ltd.

HVL Distribution is a certified Clarke warranty Service Depot.

The company continued to grow and experienced another name change becoming Zep Factory Outlet in 2000.

“My grandparents, they built a beautiful base that we could continue to grow on,” said Isbister. “It is a model that was built with integrity and that is what we aim to keep…today we evolve again to honor the Legacy of my grandparents in naming the company HVL Distribution. We came to choose this name so to honor Delores and George. The top of the H represents Her, the V stands for her Vision for the company. The bottom of the H represents Him, and the L signifies his Legacy in the business and the industry he has created and will continue to have and grow!” states Isbister.
