From the first time Harold Markle pulled a car out of a ditch in 1978, it was clear he was meant to be a part of the Towing Industry and embrace the challenges and opportunities that it presented. With nineteen years operating a successful towing business, experience developing a training course for the industry and five years of heavy equipment product development, Harold knew he had acquired the background and understanding necessary to provide quality products and service towing professionals needed. Thus Canadian Towing Equipment (CTE) was born.

 During his time working in heavy duty product development with Vulcan Towing Equipment, he gained valuable insight that he immediately put to work at CTE. In addition to this, his experience training the Canadian military on the operation of the Vulcan military recovery trucks resulted in an in depth understanding of heavy tow truck requirements.

 As Vice President of Miller Industries Distribution, Harold gained a global perspective of successful towing and recovery sales and service outlets. Now as CEO, of Canadian Towing Equipment, Harold’s passion is reflected in his dedication to the growth of the towing industry.

In his spare time Harold enjoys travelling, golfing and going to the family cottage.
