Steven and Sandy opened their Express Employment office in Lethbridge, AB in August 2019 and their goal was to provide the best staffing services available to their clients in Southern Alberta. The Lethbridge office achieved fast track in 2020 and has been honored for the much coveted Circle of Excellence award in 2021, 2022 and 2023.

Born and raised in Mauritius, Steven knew firsthand the value of hard work and not to take anything and nobody for granted. Surrounded by a vibrant community of entrepreneurs on this idyllic island (Marc Twain once said Mauritius was made first and then heaven; and heaven was copied after Mauritius), he knew right away that he wanted to an entrepreneur from a young age and the greater the obstacle, the more glory in overcoming it.

Competitive in nature (Steven was a swimming champion in Mauritius coupled with playing competitive basketball during his high school years) and a BCOM graduate in Economics from the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University in South Africa, he spent a 13 year career in banking and finance and after that, it was just natural to go with Express as it is a domain that brings out his passion, competitivity and drive.

Steven views his office as being a servant leader in Southern Alberta where we treat each employee and client with the utmost respect, care and humility. We are most of the time contacted in times of need and because of that, we consider ourselves servants of our community.

Besides just working hard, Steven is always on the go and is a man consumed by Wanderlust. Having been to more than 25 countries and 6 out of the 7 continents (the 7 ^th one has 0 inhabitant), he aims to visit that frozen continent once his kids are grown up.

In 2019 Steven and I took a leap of faith and moved to Lethbridge to open our Express Employment office. It has been the most humbling and rewarding experience.

Also born and raised in Mauritius, I always had the Canadian dream in mind growing up. In 2010, that dream finally became true and nothing has stopped me ever since. I have been working in the Airline industry for the past decade and travelling and discovering cultures is one of my greatest passions besides being a wife and mother to our beautiful children.

Today I am most grateful to be able to do what I do while impacting our community by providing jobs and bringing top notch services to our clients.
