Announcement... Shap and Mrs Shap Moving Back to Toronto! (Job opportunities inside)
Six years ago, Beth and I packed up and moved from Montreal to The Bahamas. At the time we had no idea what to expect. It was just Beth and I running our little network of TGPs. We had no employees. No Paysites. No Thumbzilla. It was just us putting in a lot of hard work. We pulled so many all nighters it was sick! But no matter what, we were determined to continue growing as a company. Our hard work quickly started to pay off. First came Twistys. Then we bought Thumbzilla. Then we opened our office in Toronto. And now here we are. Our company has continued to grow each and every month and now we are determined to grow and expand our company to an even higher level. Our goal is to be one of the biggest companies in our industry. To accomplish this, we are giving up island living and moving to Toronto.
We are looking forward to the move and the new opportunities that will present themselves. We recently purchased a home in Toronto and so will be moving back this summer. We definitely look forward to meeting the local webmasters and getting to know you guys some more. For those webmasters in the Toronto area (or who are willing to relocate to the Toronto area) and are interested in working for us, please get in touch asap. We are going through a huge expansion this year and we will be hiring a lot of new people. If you feel you would make a good fit for us and our team, please email kevin at twistys dot com and let us know why you want to work for us, what you can do and why you think we should hire you. Thanks  |

Shap and Beth are awesome and their crew are second to none. Anyone considering this, do not hesitate! If I weren't otherwise engaged I'd be all over that in a heartbeat.

I grew up in Hawaii, so I can understand how you can finally decide to move back to a large urban area. You can always go back and visit the islands, and you will carry a piece of paradise within you forever.
If I lived in Toronto I would be tempted to try and find a position in your company just to learn about how it operates from the inside. I am sure those that take advantage of the opportunities you are offering will benefit greatly as they help grow your empire. Best of luck to you and your family on the big move and on the future growth of your business.  ADG Webmaster |

Btw with regards to why we are leaving the Bahamas... We've been here 6 years and we had decided a few months ago that we were ready to move and try some place else. We decided on Europe initially, so we spent Christmas/NewYears in the South of France looking for a home. After looking at only 3 places, we found one we loved. (pics below)
Before making a huge move like that, we thought we better evaluate the situation further. Where is our company today? Where do we want to take it? How can we do that? After weeks of thinking about our future we realized that we've come a long way but we haven't even scratched the surface of where we want to take things. We honestly feel we have the ability to double and triple our company size. So we figured that the only way to make it happen was to move to Toronto and expand our office and our operations (since we are already set up there.) So that's what we decided to do. Here is the place we found in the South of France. It was absolutely perfect. The view was unbeatable.      Anyway, this house will have to wait. We will definitely move there one day. It just won't be for a few years yet.  |

Do you own or rent the place in The Bahamas? What are you doing with it when you leave?

Congrats to Shapette and Shap, and welcome back to the neighbourhood!
The new house is absolutely incredible! Sarah and I are looking very forward to the house warming, I will bring the keg!!! DH P.S. Shap we just leased a new downtown office location at Richmond and Spadina so don't be a stranger when you get back to Toronto. We're literally down the street from you now |

Looking forward to meeting you when you get back , We were just having dinner yesterday with Mike and I was asking him about how hard it must be for you to run the company remotely. Your success in those circumstances is phenomenal, and Im sure it will be much greater working locally...best of luck !

Congrats Shap and Beth! Good decision to grow the business for awhile, plus whenever you want paradise its only a plane ride away right.
Btw that house in France looked spectacular. Can't wait to see pics of the new place in Toronto! - Brent

Shap & Beth,
It looks like you had a wonderful experience living in the Bahamas. Thanks for sharing your photos. I am sure that your success and great experiences will continue with your move back to Canada. If I don't see you before then, I hope to see you in May at WA Totonto. What an exciting time for you and the entire team at Twisty's or should I say ShapCash! Take Care
