WashLinks welcomes new general manager

Michael Howe joins WashLinks as general manager, responsible for the overall operation and profitability of the company, as well as building for future expansion and deepening the company's commitment to its customer base.

Founded in 1997, WashLinks provides car wash equipment, parts and service to all of Canada.

Howe is well-known and respected throughout the car wash industry.

He joins the established WashLinks team from BayWatch Enterprises - Canada Division, which he grew from its start-up prior to acquisition in late 2021. Based in Denver, BayWatch Enterprises is a manufacturer and servicer of car wash door solutions.

Washlinks’ new GM also brings with him more than two decades of senior management experience across a myriad of industries, as well as skilled accreditations in both construction electrical and overhead doors as a mechanic.

“Michael is a driven individual with a love for the industry,” WashLinks president, Bill Barber, said in a release. “While managing WashLinks, Michael will continue to serve as a board member on the Canadian Car Wash Association. I’m very pleased to find someone so well suited with our company culture and commitment to our customers. Having Michael running the operation enables me to focus more on other initiatives both inside and outside of WashLinks. I very much enjoy working with our customers and have every intention of continuing to remain active but empowering Michael for day-to-day management responsibilities.”
