Testimonials

My name is John Moxon and I had 10 plus years in the roofing and cladding industry in England and wanted to further my career abroad and with a company that I could trust and that worked to a high standard. At Flynn with the right attitude and skill set the opportunities are endless and Flynn will help all the way. From my experience the men on the ground all the way to the top are 1 team and provide a great job and great experience. I relocated my family to the most beautiful place in the world and with good hard work Flynn will provide the best life for your family.

I moved from London UK to Canada in June 2017 to join my Farther & younger brother with the help of Flynn Canada Ltd who helped me with the whole process of moving over. I started working for Flynn Production Roofing the following Month of July 2016 and I worked have there for just over 1 year now as a roofer. I am really happy with my new life in Canada now It has become my home and I am in currently in the process of saving towards my first home which would have been impossible for me back in the UK.

I am currently applying for status in Canada as a permanent resident and the HR team at Flynn have been a great help to me as they have a lot of experience of the entire process from start to finish. I am really looking forward to the future now and feel that I am really going in a good direction with this company.

I have been with the company for only 2 months, but I am very pleased. I came to Vancouver for London, UK. To be honest, I did not expect the kind of support they provided. They paid for a flight ticket, gave a car, a house, tools and made my stay comfortable. Also they do all the paperwork for you. Here I realized that Flynn is a big family and everyone trying to help each other. Proud to be part of it.

Hello, my name is Sorin and I am a Romanian guy. I spent my last 6 years in London learning and doing roofing. Mr. Paul gave me the opportunity to come to Canada for work and make a new family. I met very nice people and lots of hard workers at the Halifax branch. Now Flynn is my family and I like it here.

I'm so glad I decided to move to Canada, Flynn have been great. From day one they've done everything to help make it as easy as possible for me and my family, especially Sukhi and Yomna with all the immigration requirements. The branch I work at in Victoria BC has made me feel very welcome and ensured that the move has been as smooth as possible. Very Happy.
