"If what you are looking for is a person who can manage a complex and extremely busy operation in a manner that stresses congeniality, team work, respect, humour, responsibility and accountability, Ed Tait is the professional you want. I have known Ed for many years and more recently have had the opportunity to work closely with him. I can personally attest to the combination of skills, knowledge, and experience he can offer, which in my opinion are exceptional."

“I have had the pleasure of working with Ed both as a partner in the past and as a full-time consultant in the development of Dockside Green. Ed’s commitment to details and to getting the job done right is one of the main reasons that we have received the kind of amazing awards, recognition and accolades that we have. I trust Ed to have his eyes everywhere and to take care of issues that most others don’t even see. His integrity is unsurpassable.”

Developer, Dockside Green

“I brought Darlene Tait onto the Westhills team to put together a marketing plan to launch our new development. She far exceeded my expectations and contributed more to our efforts than was ever expected. She became a valued member of the planning team as well and created and executed a successful Marketing and Communications program that we remain very proud of today.”

President, Keycorp Consulting (lead consultant to Westhills)

“If I was undertaking a development that required project and construction management from someone whom I could count on for the highest degree of professionalism and expertise, for tremendous problem-solving skills, for commitment to and fulfillment of my interests and objectives, my first call would be to Ed Tait. It just doesn't get any better than Ed." 
Gene Miller

“I had the pleasure of working side by side with Darlene Tait for a year. As a first-time Campaign Manager for a Provincial Election, Darlene delved in and worked harder than I could have imagined. Her commitment to getting the job done, dealing with a variety of issues and willingness to do whatever was necessary was inspiring for everyone she worked with. She has a strong sense of diplomacy, is an engaging listener and an unflappable problem solver. I could not imagine having undertaken this without her participation.”

“When our company wanted to introduce a new metal shingle to the construction industry, knowing Ed’s abilities—we came to him. In just over a year his project management skills had assisted us in securing stocking distributorships in every state in the US, every province in Canada (except Quebec) and many countries around the world. Launching a new product into an international industry could not have been more enjoyable. Ed's professionalism, enthusiasm and attention to detail drove us into the market with more bang than anyone could have imagined.”
