EllisDon has named Frank Bruni to the role of Vice President and Area Manager for Southwestern Ontario.

The company made the announcement on November 4.

Bruni joined EllisDon in 2000 as a project coordinator at the York University Computer Sciences Building in Toronto. He would later acts as project manager on the Microsoft Building in Meadowvale, Mississauga, and on the University of Ontario Institute of Technology project in Durham Region.

“Frank is known by his peers and the industry at large as being an individual with integrity and great values,” said EllisDon COO and executive vice-president of construction Kieran Hawe. "Never afraid of a challenge, he is always looking for ways to grow our business and is determined to provide employees with great career opportunities as he leads the area.”

Marie, such as The Sault Area Hospital (P3), Extendicare Canada - Long Term Care Facility, The Sault College Health & Wellness Facility, Essar Algoma Inc.

From 2013 to 2017, Bruni served as construction manager and managed a number of projects in Saskatchewan, before leaving EllisDon to join a private developer.

He re-joined EllisDon early in 2020 working very closely with EllisDon’s PME group in Fort Saskatchewan and their industrial clients to focus on expanding EllisDon's industrial capability in Ontario.

"The opportunities with EllisDon seem to be endless,” said Bruni. "To continue my career working with such impressive people past and current, and now to expand that network with the London team is such a privilege. I am so grateful to be a part of this team.”
