Company Owner at MAXIM TRUCK TRAILER

Doug Harvey is CEO of the DLH Group and owner of Maxim Truck & Trailer. Doug founded Maxim in 1981 in Winnipeg, MB.

Today, Doug’s enterprises have grown to include companies in Retail & Distribution, Manufacturing and Land Development. In total, Doug’s businesses employ 800 people across Canada. Doug is active in the community and encourages all his employees to do the same. He serves on numerous boards and industry committees. Doug and his partner Jan are proud life-long Winnipeggers whose three children and six grandchildren all work, play and reside in Winnipeg. In 2022, Doug Harvey was awarded the Order of Manitoba. The Order of Manitoba is the province’s highest honour. It recognizes Manitobans who have demonstrated excellence and achievement, thereby enriching the social, cultural or economic well-being of the province and its residents. Also in 2022, Doug was inducted into the Manitoba Business Hall of Fame – acknowledging the spirit of the greatest leaders and mentors in the province of Manitoba.
