In 1996, four Apple Canada employees who made up the “Technical Response Group” were laid off during a round of corporate cutbacks from Apple Canada.
These four people decided to put all of their talents and skills to good use and founded TRG Computer Solutions. The name TRG came from their former position of being the ‘Technical Response Group’ at Apple Canada. The founders were John Cresswell, Mike Ciglic, John Fowler, and Ray Wilson.
In 1998 Ray Wilson left the partnership to pursue a personal career change as Manager of Information Services at Guardian Funds. In 2001, John Fowler left to assist his wife in her rapidly expanding business, The Little Doll House Company.
These partners will be missed and they have left with all of our best wishes for success and happiness in their new endeavors. Our focus was originally on the sale and service of the best personal computer on the market, the Macintosh computer, but we continue to spread our area of expertise.
TRG now includes Business Systems and Networks, Software and Peripherals, Upgrades, Applications, Games, Productivity software, Web Development and Hosting and Training. Our 24-year reputation as a Mac-only store speaks for itself.
