Derek Osborne, Chairman of the MSO Board of Directors, speaks proudly of the company history: “The shocks we’ve had, and our ability to keep going, really highlights the theme of resilience. My grandfather started the company in 1938, when he took over his father’s business. Grandfather, in turn, had four children, two of which remained working in the business – my father, Bertrand, who just passed away in September, along with his brother Cedric. Their sisters, Veda and Kathleen, were also Directors and intimately involved for 50 years.” Two years ago, the company became fully operated by Board members in the third generation.
