A family affair at DNR Outdoor Power Equipment

At DNR Outdoor Power Equipment in Dresden the “DNR” stands for Dave and Rob.

“Dave Wilson is my partner, my brother-in-law and we’ve been partnered up in this since we started up in August of 2014,” said Rob Northcott, one of the owners of the business.

“We had very modest expectations of where this business would go. So when we started the business, we expected that it would be a one-man show for a long period of time and I was going to be here running the show for most of the time and Dave would fill in when I needed some time off.”

Northcott said the business has grown quickly.

“Eight months later we now have a service apprentice, his name is Cody Wilson, and that’s Dave’s son. He is doing a wonderful job. We just hired a new office administrator, Jessie Bardawill from Blenheim, that is going to hopefully get me organized,” said Northcott.

The growth was needed thanks to great community support.

“We needed to do this because the response from the community has been overwhelming and it’s just not a one man show anymore. We will see how it goes in the future, we’re looking really optimistically into the future.”

Northcott said some physical expansion is taking place at DNR as well.

“We had a very, very small show room and so starting April 8, Dave decided he had some time off and so next thing I know, the office was ripped out and we extended our parts department and we moved the office back about 15 feet and opened the whole show room up so we can expand our line ups and better display the products. It doesn’t look so cluttered. It’s exciting, very exciting.”

Northcott said they are thrilled with their two new product lines.

“The Exmark landed on our door steps last week and the Columbia riding lawn mowers and push mowers arrived this week.”

Northcott added: “Come out and support us. Locally owned and operated and we are excited about all of this.”

DNR Outdoor Power Equipment is located at 29631 Irish School Road, north Dresden.
