When Latif Jamani’s family bought Calgary Lighting Products in 2000, they ran the commercial lighting distribution company with values drawn largely from their Ismaili Muslim faith: hard work, a family atmosphere and honest dealings with vendors, staff and customers.
As the company evolved, they drew up a business plan to develop a “long-term lighting distribution network of excellence.” Earlier this year, looking to recruit more staff and pass responsibilities on to his general manager, Mr. Jamani, the company president, brought in a human resources consultant to help write a code of business conduct and an employee handbook.
