across North America and globally; and filling the worldwide demand for bulk storage solutions.
Founders Story
Chris Long is Canadian, born and raised in the cold capital of
Ottawa. Chris began working at the young age of 14 years
old, selling chocolate bars and working on his grandparents’
farm during his summers.
Chris always had big dreams and an entrepreneurial vision.
He insisted on working full time through high school and
went directly into the trades after College – all while raising
his daughter. As a young dad, Chris had big dreams for his
little girl. He wanted to give her a future that he could only
dream of having.
In 2013, he opened Conrad Construction in loving memory of
his Grandfather Joe Conrad, who taught Chris his work ethic
and taught him to dream big. Once licensed as a carpenter,
he ran Conrad Construction until he realized his next dream:
Longyards Storage.
Chris recognized the need for storage of the big stuff. He
saw construction companies and contractors struggle to
store their machines, tools, and equipment. It was time to fill
this gap in the market with his new business idea that
stemmed from his own needs. After all, if he needed it, he
figured other companies did too He was right.
