Mandy Rennehan Biography

Mandy Rennehan was born and raised in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, and came from very humble beginnings. The daughter of a lobster fisherman, her family of six faced many challenges including growing up in a community that relied on a seasonal fishing industry. Many times, her parents struggled to put food on the table. This motivated her to strive for a different life with fewer financial hardships. While other kids were busy playing being kids, Rennehan was foraging for bait and selling it to the local fishermen for profit. Dubbed the ‘local fish broker,’ an entrepreneurial visionary was born at the age of 10.

Rennehan left home at the age of 18 with a dirty hockey bag, a little bit of personality and a big smile. She had a desire to know more about construction and to make her parents lives easier. She began working nights for local contractors for free to gain experience.

In 1995 when she was 19 years old, Freshco came to fruition. The first full service, 24/7, on-call retail maintenance provider with complete coverage across Canada and the eastern United States. Today, Freshco is the most successful and fiscally responsible retail maintenance business in the country with three collaborative divisions – Maintenance, Projects, and Reconstruction, serving retail giants like Anthropologie, Apple, Banana Republic, Bell Media, Home Depot, LuluLemon, Nike, Restoration Hardware, RBC, Sephora, under armor, Tiffany & Co., plus many more.

Freshco.ca still continues to grow in Canada and the US as the “fun company” in the industry, advocating for women in trades and also as a pioneer of transparency and innovation.

  • Redefining the Collar Blue

    North America has a massive skilled trade shortage that affects everyone. We are paying more and waiting longer for services, companies aren’t able to scale, and important infrastructure projects like roads, transit and hospitals are facing major delays. How did we get here? Perception! Societal ideology has brainwashed people to believe that white-collar careers are better than blue-collar ones, when they should command equal respect. Our current reality is university graduates who can’t find jobs and well-paying skilled trade jobs sitting empty. This has got to stop.

Born and raised in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, the daughter of a lobster fisherman, Mandy left home at the age of 18 with an old hockey bag, an audacious dream, and her cheeky smile, and the rest is history.
