East Side Story Paper by Penny Picton
George Payne receives Bob Tudhope Award from the Victoria Family Medical Centure and the 2002 Ontario Service Award.
In 1992, Forest City had the opportunity to become the new Panasonic Copier Dealer for the City of London.
George Payne, a 12-year veteran in the business equipment industry, started Forest City Business Equipment. The business started in his grandmother’s basement on Rectory Street in London Ontario. By November of that year, the company had seen such rapid growth that it was necessary to move out of the basement and into a larger space.
