President

Derek Alleyne

A veteran in the construction industry, some of Derek’s earliest memories are of being on job sites with both his father and grandfather. In his early teens, Derek would go on to help his father and grandfather at every opportunity he could get, including after school and on weekends. By the time he graduated high school, he had experience in multiple areas of construction from masonry to carpentry to excavation. Thereafter, he began as an apprentice in the high-rise residential sector. Unlike any other apprentice, Derek’s previous experience helped him flourish on job sites. After several years, Derek was managing high-rise sites as a Site Foreman all over the GTA for notable developers such as Tridel. His meticulous approach to the job resulted in the efficiency and effectiveness of the teams under his management. Derek continuously exceeded expectations and became renowned for completing projects ahead of schedule.

​

Given his exceptional reputation, Derek decided the next step in his career would be to start his own company, DAK Forming. Given his humble beginnings, Derek can recognize and understand the hard work and efforts of each employee. Derek has set the standard of continued growth throughout the company by allowing management and employees the opportunity to take on both ownership of their work and more responsibilities. With over 20 years in the construction industry, Derek has navigated DAK Forming through incredible changes and continued growth into the company it has become today.

As President, Derek is responsible for the development of the management team and for overseeing operations and ensuring goals are met through established strategies.
