 In
the Abbotsford community, 'Dorothy Dyck' has become somewhat of
a well-recognized name. The humble and gracious co-owner of
Abbotsford Printing Inc. would blush at such a statement, but
the former Abbotsford Chamber of Commerce President and
Executive Director of the Abbotsford Downtown Business
Association has nothing but love for her hometown, and rolls up
her shirtsleeves to help in any way that she can, giving back to
the community that has shown Abbotsford Printing Inc. so much
loyalty over the years.
Abbotsford Printing
Inc. takes on many gratis promotional printing projects
annually, both large and small – recognizing the power of the
printed word to raise awareness and funds for special causes and
non-profit groups. Often, it is Dorothy Dyck that liaises with
these groups, and volunteers on special event committees and
task forces throughout the community. She is the past Chair of
the Crystal Gala Foundation (a fundraiser for breast cancer) and
is a board member of the Abbotsford Police Board and the BC
Police Board. |
One of the smiling
faces that greets Abbotsford Printing Inc. customers on the
front line daily, Dorothy (like all of the staff) believes in
the importance of customer service and relationship-building.
She asserts that without knowing her clients and their
companies, she cannot understand their business needs, and
direct them in the most effective and economic way. Abbotsford
Printing Inc.'s goal is to create the most effective printed
item for their clients.
Dorothy, a graduate
of MEI, is proud to say that every job that she ever had
involved design and colour: from working in a fabric store, and
a photo studio, to printing. She was also an award-winning paper
tole instructor, and is delighted to be able to continue to
apply her passion for the visual in her role at Abbotsford
Printing Inc.
When the mother of
three isn’t working at her business, volunteering in the
community, and spending time with her family, Dorothy enjoys
traveling and reading. This unending source of vitality and
energy is excited with the variety in her life, and the
opportunities for helping people that continually come her way. |
 I came to Canada two years ago with my husband and family, and, after we settled, I felt it was time for me to pursue my career once more. I’ve had an avid interest and a passion for the print industry for many years, and so it seemed the natural choice. My background is in design and project management for the security industry, however, in 2002, I made a career move into account management for a commercial print company, a job that I really enjoyed. In 2003 I left the company to have my third and final child; it was then that we decided to immigrate to Canada and start a new life. |
My goal is to provide clients with solutions to increase the profitability of their companies, and to manage their business needs, whether It involves managing projects, advising on colour schemes or simply re-ordering their company stationery.
Abbotsford Printing for me is a company I’m proud to be a part of; working together as a team to provide great customer care, and to have our customers come back time and time again is true job satisfaction.
She appreciates any opportunity where she can offer her skills to help our clients achieve their vision, and that they receive the best printing service we can provide.
