Jay’s - Saskatoon

As of June 1, 2013 Jay’s became a stand-alone business within Mullen Group Ltd. Mullen Group Ltd. is a large provider of specialized transportation and related services to the oil and natural gas industry within Western Canada and is a leading supplier of trucking and logistics services. Jay’s is the twenty-sixth company purchased by the Mullen Group and the first with a Moving Division. 

“We are extremely pleased to add Jay’s to our organization,” says Murray Mullen, chairman and CEO of Mullen Group. “[Jay’s] has an excellent reputation for providing outstanding service to its customers and we look forward to working with the management team to enhance the service offerings to Mullen Group’s existing customers… This is a great company with an established history and a strong management team.” 

Our president and COO Terry Simonson had the following to say about the transition “We’ll continue the way we always have for almost 49 years. It’s very good for the Jay’s Group…” We have been assured by the Mullen Group that there will be no layoffs and if anything, the company will see more growth in our future. 

We at Jay’s have come a long way in the past 49 years and look forward to this chapter in our history. 

As the Chairman and CEO of Mullen Group Ltd. Murray Mullen is no stranger to acquiring new companies. When the opportunity presented itself, he knew that it was the right decision to invest in Jay’s Moving and Storage Ltd. 

From the start Mr. Mullen saw Jay’s for what they are; a self-supporting and driven company with a staff that cares about the way they run their business. He believes in allowing the business units to manage themselves and in supporting the decisions they make as a company by “challenging [their] people to enhance their leadership skills and overall abilities through continuous training.”

Mr. Mullen understands that Jay’s has a family oriented culture within their doors.  Growing up and working with 3 brothers and following in his Father’s footsteps as the CEO of Mullen Group Ltd., has allowed him to understand how important co-workers and employees are to an organization.  He believes in cultivating staff and allowing them to grow with the company. He uses a “locker room philosophy” when describing the way he envisions a business to run. Staff should be treated as a team; there is comradery between employees and management that allows the business to run as smoothly as possible and gives employees the opportunity to have their voices heard.

When asked about Jay’s community involvement throughout the years and if we would continue to support these causes, he immediately replied, “I am fully supportive of your initiatives because [Mullen Group] believe that our Business Units and the employees have an obligation to support the communities that we live, work and play in.” 

After speaking with Mr. Mullen it is obvious to see that he is a caring and compassionate man with a passion for what he does and in helping businesses succeed in their endeavours.
