Meet the Leadership Team

 
  • Bret Greenwood is the President & CEO of the TED Group. He oversees all the TED Group's companies and brands, including Rondex, Canada Car Color, ABS Warehouse, and Can-West Supply.

    Bret studied Business Administration at Red River College in Winnipeg and completed QuantumShiftTM Leadership at The Ivey Academy in London, Ontario. Bret, along with his cousin Everett, grew up learning every aspect of the business. He has worked in several roles within the company: paint mixer, driver, shipper, receiver, store manager, purchasing agent, marketing & sales representative, and Vice President of Sales & Marketing. These experiences have provided him with a solid understanding of the industry and the keys to success for the TED Group. In 2010 when Bret and Everett first bought shares, the TED Group had only one store in Winnipeg and a warehouse. Since then, they have expanded the company from one brand and two locations to multiple brands in 14 locations from Vancouver Island to Toronto. Bret assumed the role of President & CEO in 2016 and today is still focused on strategically growing the business while keeping in line with the company's mission, vision, and values.

    Bret is the visionary and driving force behind TED Group's ongoing expansion. With over 20 years of experience in the business, he uses his expertise and leadership to focus on working with each department with the goals of providing outstanding customer service, developing and delivering the company's short- and long-term strategies, and driving profitable revenue growth. Bret is a proud third-generation small family business owner. He resides in Winnipeg, Manitoba, with his wife Krista and daughter Tedi.

  • Everett Greenwood is the COO of the TED Group and is also a third-generation owner who, like his cousin Bret, grew up learning every aspect of the business. He is responsible for the overall operations of the company, including customer service, standard operating procedures, vendor and service provider contracts, and improving the overall efficiency of the organization.

    Everett studied Business Administration at Red River College in Winnipeg. He has also completed numerous leadership, customer service, and supply chain courses and seminars. Everett has experience in several jobs within the company, such as shipper, receiver, paint mixer, sales representative, and VP of Operations, among others. The years he spent in these roles helped him understand the industry and the companies’ needs in depth.

    Everett’s pragmatic thinking and process-driven nature, coupled with his numerous years of experience at the company, help him efficiently identify root causes of problems and create sustainable solutions. His leadership style has allowed him to create an empowered, self-sufficient, and high-achieving team that takes into consideration what is best for the group and our customers in every decision.

  • Darrin Jorowski is the Executive Vice President of the TED Group. He oversees the entire sales division within all TED Group brands. He recently restructured the sales division to achieve the company’s long-term strategic goals and vision while focusing on driving top-line revenue and working closely with all regional sales leaders.

    Darrin graduated from Oak Park High School in Winnipeg. He often spends time independently studying the industry, business development, and leadership skills. Darrin joined Rondex in 2012 as a technical manager. In 2013, he was promoted to the sales manager for Manitoba, leading the team to see significant growth in that region for the next several years. Darrin was later promoted to Director of Sales for Ontario and Manitoba, and in 2018, he rose into his current role of VP of Sales. He focuses on driving growth, expanding into new markets, and gaining new and unique product line exclusivities.

    Darrin’s 22 years of passion for sales and determination in the collision industry equipped him to be a quick-thinking, fair, effective, and decisive leader. His department thrives thanks to the synergy he has cultivated.
