Vice President, Finance

The Coulson Group of Companies (“Coulson Group”) is a dynamic, diversified, family-owned enterprise operating businesses in the aviation, manufacturing and entertainment sectors. Headquartered in Port Alberni, British Columbia with roots in the logging industry, new generations of the family have since evolved the small logging company into a conglomerate of companies working in a variety of industries including aviation, manufacturing, dining, and gaming. Over the last 64 years, the Coulson Group has consistently provided clients and customers with quality services and products, highly qualified technical staff and innovative support solutions.

During the 1990s, the Coulson Group expanded into aviation and has since become a global leader in specialty aviation services with an employee base of over 550 people. As the only aerial firefighting company operating both fixed-wing Large Air Tankers and Type 1 helicopters, Coulson Aviation (Coulson Aircrane Ltd.) is fully equipped to carry out aerial firefighting across the globe. With its proprietary technology, multiple aircraft types, and highly experienced attack crews, the company is able to fight fires on multiple continents simultaneously. Coulson Aviation has full-time operating business locations in the United States, Australia, Canada, and Chile, leveraging its worldwide support staff during busy times to conduct audits and cross-train over year-round fire seasons. Coulson is now a world leader in aerial firefighting.
