Jan Van Bruggen

CEO - Barricades And Signs Ltd.

Jan van Bruggen is an accomplished entrepreneur and business leader with a proven track record of success in the roadside safety industry. He began his career working alongside his father on the family farm in Sturgeon County, Alberta, where they operated a small traffic rental company.

In 2016, Jan took over and assumed the role of CEO at Barricades and Signs Ltd. Since then, he has transformed the company into a major player in the sign manufacturing industry, as well as a distributor of roadside safety products and a provider of traffic accommodations with four offices serving customers across Western Canada.

Jan's success can be attributed to his people-first mindset and his ability to find innovative solutions that others cannot. He is an engaged leader with an entrepreneurial outlook and a keen eye for identifying new opportunities. This has enabled him to drive growth and success in other business areas, including installation services, fencing solutions, real estate, and even the energy bar market.

Jan's dedication to innovation, his entrepreneurial spirit, and his commitment to helping others succeed have given him the tools to excel in any industry he is involved in.
