With 12 years of experience in the glazing industry, he initially specialized in custom high-end residential construction, focusing on design, engineering, and project management of complex solutions. Having successfully completed hundreds of projects, he was chosen by a major German transnational company to oversee the glazing execution for the Vancouver Apple Flagship Store, forming a team that became the foundation of Sentinel Glass. As the Technical Director of Sentinel Glass, he continues to lead, overseeing design, product selection, and managing the company’s most complicated projects.
The company’s notable success can largely be credited to its forward-thinking approach in all operational aspects, a feat significantly influenced by his leadership, innovation, and business acumen. With a background in Architectural Technology and over five years in the glazing industry, he has skillfully managed and steered numerous pioneering projects to success. This has led to not only the successful execution of Sentinel Glass’s complex projects but also the cultivation of a skill set that is critical in guiding the operational dynamics of the company, ensuring its continued growth and success.
As an integral player in the construction industry, the success of Sentinel Glass is deeply rooted in the strength and expertise of our foremen, who are the driving force behind our field operations and the key to establishing our robust image in the sector. Leading the charge are Adrian Arsenau, Simon Pannell, and Derek Ladd, a triumvirate of industry veterans whose collective experience exceeds 50 years. They have been instrumental in shaping the skyline of Vancouver, having previously worked on landmark projects such as Shangri-La Vancouver, Vancouver House, The Post, Richmond Olympic Oval, Fairmont Waterfront, MNP Tower, The Pacific, and Surrey Library, among many others, and countless residential masterpieces. Notably, our installations are exclusively managed by certified, in-house glaziers, ensuring quality and consistency, unlike many of our main competitors who rely on subcontractors, particularly in the residential sector. Our crew’s invaluable experience is not just a testament to their individual capabilities but is also reflected in the outstanding results that Sentinel Glass consistently achieves, underscoring the company’s commitment to excellence and its standing as a leader in the glazing industry.
