PLATFORM is pleased to announce the opening of its newest office in Thunder Bay, marking a significant milestone in the firm’s continued growth across Canada. The new location enhances PLATFORM’s ability to support the growing needs of clients within the construction and infrastructure sectors throughout Northwestern Ontario.
