TOR, The Office Resource, provider of BC's finest corporate office furnishings, is expanding again! It's been an amazing year for growth and we are now proudly not only BC's go-to supplier of top quality Knoll lines but also Vancouver's top source of DIRTT movable wall systems, an environmentally sustainable factory-built interior wall product sold to architects, designers and progressive end-users. The market is rapidly changing and this is a chance to influence its direction and join an A-level team in a triple bottom line organization.

TOR's clients include some of the most successful and well-established companies in Vancouver's corporate community such as Microsoft, Canaccord Capital, Davis and Co, Gowlings, Methanex, & Grant Thornton, as well as many green businesses, social ventures and government/civil service.

TOR is best known for excellent service, attention to detail, outstanding long term relationships with dealers, designers, and property managers, and willingness to go the extra mile to deliver results. And we are excited to have recently moved into our new LEEDS-inspired building, ready for even more growth. We frankly have many more leads than we can follow up, and we need to add another quality sales assistant to our team.

At TOR we know that our best and most important resource is our people so we treat them as well as our best customers.
