About Us
Powershift Communications Inc. was created in 1991 with its first publication Benefits and Pensions Monitor. Its mission was to cover not only the benefits market for HR managers, but institutional pension fund investment as well. With each print issue digitized and easily available online at www.bpmmagazine.com/issues. The Daily News Alerts is an industry roundup of news of interest to our readership sent five days a week.
In September 1995, Home Improvement Retailing was introduced. This B2B publication supports home improvement retailers and product vendors to help them increase sales and profits and enhance their overall business experience. All HIR magazines are online at www.hirmagazine.com/issues. With the Daily News Alerts the retailer, manufacturer and contractor can keep current on all relevant news in their industry.
A spinoff from Benefits and Pensions Monitor is Private Wealth Canada. This website www.privatewealthcanada.ca helps to keep you informed on investments, retirement, vacations, second homes and so much more. The weekly News Alerts will keep you up-to-date on new and interesting ways to build your future.
