Marvin Ryder spoke to Stoney Creek Chamber Members at a luncheon held at The Grand Olympia, sponsored by NeoGraphics.

Marvin explained that recessions come and go. The wise businessperson plans for the longer term trends.  The next 25 years holds many opportunities for Stoney Creek and its business community. Like the period following World War II, this is a dramatic period of immigration with a changing community profile.  “Winners” will be those companies who offer market niches, products and services with a sustainable competitive advantage. The challenge and critical success of the Stoney Creek business community will be adapting to a modified City population over the next 25 years.
