King Bros. Limited is an independently owned Customs Brokerage and Ships Agency located in Victoria, BC. The company has been in operation since 1911.
I have been working with King Brothers for 18 years now – since 2008 – and have been fortunate enough to have been the only person to have ever worked on their online identity. I built their first website and later rebranded the company and created every single piece of their online presence, marketing materials and advertising.
Working with King Brothers for the past 18 years has shown me what a great working relationship can be like. There’s never been any conflict along the way. We worked together as respected colleagues, working with each other to achieve a common goal, and discussed challenges and potential solutions rationally as friends and business associates.
It is with a great deal of pride and satisfaction that I officially retired after a fifteen month transition, on June 26, 2026 – one day before my 71st birthday as I had made a promise to myself I would not work a day after I turned 71.
Management have always briefed me properly and trusted me to provide them with the branding that I felt reflected who they are and what they do and with that, the entire marketing spectrum is very cohesive.
Plus, they really are great people. A pleasure to have worked with.

As an independent Ship’s Agency and Customs Brokerage firm, we recognized the need to improve our on-line presence, and to provide a better information portal for our clients.
In just one meeting, Steve was able to take our fledgling ideas and quickly provide a concept for our new site. Working with him over the course of the project was enjoyable and enlightening, and the finished product succeeds beyond our expectations.
In conjunction with the new website, we also asked Steve to help us develop a corporate brand identity. As a 100 year old company, we felt it was time to re-assess our image and to project a more modern look.
We are now working with Steve as we venture into print advertising, and again, we are extremely pleased with his concepts and approach. This is a new frontier for our business, but we have no doubt Steve’s skills in marketing will benefit our company.
Steve has given our business an opportunity to grow and to reach new markets. We look forward to a long and successful working relationship in the coming years.
