The Hucul Team
Bernie Hucul
What is your role at Hucul Printing?
As partner/owner of the company, I have to do it all! If the floors need sweeping or the computers need computing - I jump right in. Managing the business is a big percentage of my work, along with customer/employee relations, job quoting, pricing, ordering, organizing and production work.
What are your favourite things about Hucul?
I like the smell of presses running in the morning. Creating well designed, professional looking printed products gives me great satisfaction. Good employees (most of them are my relatives) make our days run smoothly and productively. We have a great coffee maker to help keep us going. I like the feeling of sticking my finger into a can of printers’ ink. Finally, we have a lot of really great customers who make the job of fulfilling their printing needs a real pleasure.

What is your role at Hucul?
When you come into the press room, you will see me working away on the presses and bindery machines; I’m either printing, cutting, folding, scoring, perforating, binding , stapling or gluing paper.
I’ve been doing this for more than 40 years. I love to keep the presses running. If you ever make your way into the press department, l enjoy showing people see how the old pieces of iron work.
What are your favourite things about Hucul?
I like the challenge, the freedom, and the opportunity to help our clients achieve their lofty printing goals. I enjoy the satisfaction of completing every job, large or small, and knowing that I have touched just about every job that has come through the shop, (in some cases every printed sheet!) But, most of all, I love being able to give our traditional shout of joy, when the tough jobs are done!
Shelley Hucul
I have worked at Hucul Printing since 1995.
I am and have always been the bookkeeper. I invoice, bank, pay bills, file, write letters, answer phones, and attempt to organize (with the help of my minions). I also help with administrative issues.
What are your favourite things about Hucul?
Editing and proofreading is my favourite task at Hucul Printing. I also enjoy helping customers with their personal projects including working on family history books, birth and marriage announcements, and memorial tributes.

What is your role at Hucul?
Having spent over 25 years in the printing business, it’s fun to be back in familiar territory. My role at Hucul Printing varies from artist/designer, to troubleshooter, to juggler and sometimes even magician! Being creative is always satisfying and each day presents a new challenge.
What are your favourite things about Hucul?
The best thing about working at Hucul’s is the environment. Everyone is very friendly and respectful…to the customers and each other. Judging by the customer loyalty, it’s evident they appreciate that as much as I do. Every day, I see them go above and beyond for the customers and it feels good to be part of that.

My role? Uh… I just got here.
What are your favourite things about Hucul?
My favourite thing about Hucul’s is the people who run it. They’re awesome. That, and the office itself. It’s really funky and there’s so much cool stuff on the walls.
