BEAMISH CONSTRUCTION - Key Persons

Mr. Kingston John (KJ) Beamish founded the company in February of 1946 in the Greater Toronto Area. One of the first contracts awarded to Mr. Beamish was a winter maintenance job with the City of Toronto. At that time, salt was spread by hand from the back of a single-axle dump truck. The driver and shoveler would switch roles every few miles to maintain production. Then in the summer months, the crews get out to do road oiling. The Company head office moved to a few different locations after Dufferin St., including Bayview Avenue North, John St., and King City.
