Jackie Baldwin's voice is the first one you will usually hear when placing calls to the MORRISBURG BUILDING CENTRE and it is Jackie who then directs your call to the most qualified salesperson to assist you.
In between regular phone reception she finds time to manage all the “paper” processes within the company. She also instills a bit of fear in all our staff... just enough to keep everyone in line so that everything runs smoothly. Just the way we like it!
Jackie and her family reside in Chesterville. She enjoys cycling and traveling and just recently traveled to Europe with her husband, Rod, to commemorate their 25th wedding anniversary. She also enjoys time spent at home with her dog, Ike, and is always thrilled to spend any time she can with grandchildren, Olivia and Owen!
