Mark Freeborn

Tsartlip Fuel & Convenience Manager

Mark Freeborn has recently joined TGOC, holding the role of Manager, Tsartlip Fuel & Convenience (TF&C).  Mark’s primary objectives are to improve the overall profitability of the retail operation and assist in future expansions.  To achieve these goals, Mark oversees the day-to-day operations, human resources, inventory management, merchandising, and product assortment selection of TF&C.

Mark spent several years managing retail stores in the Specialty Outdoor Sporting Goods market, catering to the rock climbing, mountaineering, backcountry travel, camping, hiking, and skiing communities.  Expanding on these passions, he made the switch from retail to the wholesale side of the business, holding sales representative roles, both in house, and independently for brands such as Mammut Sports and Helly Hansen Leisure Canada.  As brand representative, his duties included selling the brand’s products directly to retailers across Western Canada, supporting community engagement events, athlete development and sponsorship, and training store staff on product knowledge and selling techniques.

Mark studied Enterprise Development at Camosun College, has completed the Canadian Professional Sales Training program, and is currently in his final semester of the Bachelor of Commerce program at Thompson Rivers University, OL Learning.

Mark lives and plays in Brentwood Bay with his two Metis children.  Outside work, he can be found coaching the children’s sports, fishing, hunting, boating, rock climbing, ski touring, or working on home improvement projects.
