Our Story
Deep Roots
From the Beginning
The origins of Meraki Resources start with David Hoy. In 1975, David started a small, local trucking business called David Hoy Trucking. Based in Fort St. James, David’s business quickly grew under his passionate and dedicated leadership. Even at its outset, the business maintained a strong commitment to delivering value and exemplary service to its customers, partners, and employees.
A Family Company
As the company grew, so did its scope and offerings. From David Hoy Trucking, it transitioned first to Tsayta Trucking and then to K&D Logging. Family owned and operated, the business was soon guided by the next generation of the Hoy family, who expanded its service offerings in order to provide better and more integrated solutions to their partners. Under this new generation, K&D Logging became known as the KDL Group.
Building Meraki
As the company grew in scope and size, the KDL Group developed a reputation for reliable, innovative, and comprehensive service. In 2010, the company started operations on Vancouver Island with Fall River Logging, acquiring Bluepoint Construction and Forbidden Mechanical in 2018. Through these strategic expansions, acquisitions, and partnerships, the company diversified itself across BC and into new industries. To reflect this new identity, in 2020, the company rebranded itself as Meraki Resources. Rooted in authenticity, community, and purpose, this new brand served to communicate the company’s unified mission and goals.
Looking to the Future
Today, Meraki continues to uphold the same values and family feel that it had when it first started half a century ago. In developing and dynamic industries, Meraki believes in the importance of establishing long-lasting partnerships and relationships. We intentionally seek to drive and create value for those we work with. We have big plans here, and we’re just getting started.
