Valerie McIvor
Operations Manager
Val grew up in Vernon, BC. She studied Banking and Finance at Cariboo College in Kamloops after which she was employed with National Trust Company for 7 years, holding various positions in lending and investments.
Val left National Trust in 1987 to join Emco’s computer conversion team, assisting in taking Emco operations online across the country. Once completed, Val supervised the systems support team for 10 years and then went on to hold such positions as Regional Supply Chain Supervisor (SW Ontario), Regional Pricing Manager (SW Ontario), Branch Manager Plbg (Windsor Ont), Branch Manager Plbg (Osoyoos BC) and Operations Manager Plbg (West Kelowna BC). She joined the waterworks team in July of 2017 and is thrilled to be working with such a young, energetic, talented team and jokes that she drags the average age up by at least 5 years.
Val was blessed with two children (now grown adults) who both reside in Kelowna. She enjoys condo living in downtown Kelowna and spends her free time walking, shopping, travelling and socializing with longtime friends and family.

In 2015, Robbie was promoted into a management role, managing a small but successful sales team in Electronics. In 2018, he made the transition from managing a team to managing space, taking on the Warehouse manager’s position.
Robbie joined the Emco team as Warehouse Manager in February 2020. He enjoys the fast-paced environment of the Interiors waterworks construction industry. He looks forward to the opportunities that lay ahead with Emco and is excited to be a part of an industry that always helps build our community towards something better.
In his spare time, Robbie likes to spend time with his fiancé and two pups. Whether its golfing/ volleyball on the beach in the summer, or playing/watching hockey in the winter. Theres never a dull moment in the Okanagan valley.
Tyler Coe
Warehouse Manager
Tyler was born and raised in Kelowna. He attended Okanagan Collage and attained his BBA in 2010. During his studies he worked in the hospitality industry for 15 years at Cactus Club. He worked in almost all positions from management, office administration, to bar managing and line cook.
After 15 years in the hospitality industry Tyler moved on to EMCO in 2023 as a material handler.
On top of working at EMCO, he helps run his family’s cattle ranch and logging business. He lives with his girlfriend Cass and their cat Gus. They also share custody of a pet cow named Lou (which she would be really upset if Lou wasn’t mentioned in his bio). In his free time, he likes to snowboard in the winter and play softball in the warmer seasons. Being able to play any sports, spending time outdoors or travelling is a bonus for him.
