MAC Welcomes Industry Veteran, George Keen as Advisor

MAC is pleased to announce that George Keen has joined the organization as an Advisor, bringing more than forty years of dealership operations, technology innovation, and international consulting experience to support MAC’s mission of strengthening performance and profitability across equipment industries.

Keen began his career managing five retail hardware stores before moving into software development in the lift truck industry, where he became an early pioneer in applying computer systems to dealership accounting and financial management. He later spent ten years inside a John Deere agricultural dealership and, concurrently, a Caterpillar/Jungheinrich forklift dealership serving nine branches across Virginia — experience that gave him a deep, practical understanding of how dealerships operate day to day.

Over the past four decades, including 15 years with Currie Management Consultants, Keen has advised equipment dealers across North America, Europe, and Latin America in construction, materials handling, agriculture, golf car, power generation, and transport refrigeration. He has facilitated dealer best practice groups for more than 25 years and authored three books in the Management in an Equipment Dealership series. He also founded Wise Wolf Consulting, LLC, where he developed benchmark-driven methodologies to help dealers turn underperforming departments into profit centers.

Alberta Honey: A Day at Molenkamp Honey Farms

Video: Alberta Honey: A Day at Molenkamp Honey Farms

When was the last time you read the label on your honey?

We spent a day at Molenkamp Honey Farms with Michael Molenkamp, who has been keeping bees for 17 seasons and runs three to four thousand hives. In mid-September, he was finishing treatments and getting his bees ready for winter, and he walked us through how Alberta honey gets made.

Alberta has just 150 commercial beekeepers running 300,000 colonies, and together they produce 40% of Canada’s honey. Long summer days and golden canola fields give Alberta honey a light flavour that’s hard to match anywhere else.

Molenkamp calls Alberta beekeepers some of the most resilient farmers he knows. There’s plenty of Alberta honey to go around, but a lot on our shelves isn’t from here, so his ask is simple. Give the label a second look and choose honey made by Alberta beekeepers, or buy straight from a beekeeper near you.
