Swift Action from BVM Helps Local Business Through a Crisis

Helping The Butcher Shop Get Back to Business in Toronto's East End

At BVM Contracting, we’re deeply connected to the communities in which we live and work. As a proud member of the Scarborough Village neighborhood in Toronto’s east end, when Emergency crews were called to a plaza on Kingston Road near Markham Road on a February morning for reports of a vehicle crashing into a store window – we sprung into action to lend a helping hand.

The incident occurred on February 28, 2024, when a vehicle collided with the storefront of The Butcher Shop, causing significant damage and disruption to their operations. BVM Contracting as a company and family have been going to The Butcher Shop for over 30 years. In 2020, we had the pleasure of helping Tony and Paul Cribben (Founder and Owner of The Butcher Shop, respectively) transform their space into a completely remodeled store.

Upon learning of the accident, we knew we had to act fast to assist our neighbours in need. With our expertise in construction and renovation projects, we immediately assessed the damage and developed a plan to restore the building. We worked tirelessly over the following days, coordinating with local authorities and suppliers to ensure a speedy and high-quality restoration.

“We understand how crucial it is for The Butcher Shop to get back on its feet,” said Vince Meagher, Founder, BVM Contracting. “We were determined to do everything we could to help them reopen their doors as soon as possible.” “We are incredibly grateful to BVM for their support,” said Paul Cribben, Owner, The Butcher Shop. “When we got past the shock of what had happened, our first call was to BVM. Thanks to their hard work and expertise, we were able to reopen much sooner than we thought possible and get back to what means most to us, serving our customers.”

For us at BVM, it was a privilege to be able to assist a fellow local business in their time of need. “This event could have been a devastating setback for our friends at The Butcher Shop,” said Ryan Meagher, Business Development & Lead Estimator, BVM Contracting. “We’re proud that we were able to work quickly to find a solution, helping them to get back to the business as a pillar of our local community, right where they belong.”
