IRIS Centralizes All Accounting & Marketing Services in Laval, QC

LAVAL – As previously reported on Infoclip.ca,  IRIS the Visual Group has decided to centralize all accounting and marketing services to its head office in Laval, QC.

Historically the accounting team, servicing locations in BC, AB and ON had been based out of the administrative offices in Langley, BC while the in-house marketing department servicing the network nationally had been based there for the past five years.

The transition will occur over the next three months with the goal to have both departments based in Laval by September 30, 2016.

There will continue to be a Regional office in Langley, which will house the teams in western operations, leasing, and acquisitions, as well as the national administration of the Advantage Program, corporate relations and medical affairs.
