Allan purchased Old Creel in Jan 2004. After 25 years in the technology industry it was time to do something different. Allan grew up in Waverley, NS. Allan was a competitive kayak paddler at the Cheema Club from it’s inception until he graduated from Dalhousie University. After graduating from Dalhousie University “a long time ago” he persued his career in Edmonton, Calgary and Toronto. Allan returned to Nova Scotia in 1997 to give his two boys an opportunity to grow up enjoying the amazing natural assets and quality of life of our great province. Allan believes that if you help people make informed decisions about product purchases they will appreciate your efforts and be a long term satisfied customer. Allan wants Old Creel to provide consumers with top quality products from predominately Canadian suppliers. Allan believes that “Canadians” are world class manufacturers of Kayaks, Canoes and Accessories.
