Video: Interview with Mark Omelaniec
Mark Omelaniec, the president of Langley Concrete, is the 2009 Entrepreneur of the Year winner in the Real Estate & Construction category.
As Peter Mitham writes in his October 2009 profile, Omelaniec draws professional inspiration comes from his grandfather Jacob, who came to Langley from Belarus in 1936 and set up shop making well tiles for local farmers. The determination to make a living, coupled with his father’s goal of having a company where his sons could work, drives Omelaniec’s vision of a company where staff feel at home and take ownership of their work.

Langley Concrete remains a family business – Omelaniec’s brothers Mike, Kevin and Jason have significant roles in the company – but Omelaniec considers the 150 staff who work at the company’s three locations full partners in what his grandfather started.
