Management Team
Jamie Wilson
Owner & Founder
Jamie has always possessed a deep-rooted passion for running his own business and embracing responsibility. Whether it was on the hockey rink, at school, or in his career endeavors, Jamie consistently exhibited a burning determination to challenge himself and achieve excellence.
In 2006, Jamie founded Scholars Edge Painting to provide university students across western Canada with the opportunity to manage their own painting businesses. With the support of Jamie and his team of District Managers and administrative professionals, university ‘Scholars’ are able to achieve financial success that can support them throughout their schooling, pay off student loans, and give them the necessary skills to kickstart their future careers.
Since 2022, Jamie has applied the same successful systems of Scholars Edge to his new company, Wilson Pro Painting. Wilson Pro is an opportunity for motivated franchisees to operate their own painting businesses with an already built-in brand awareness, proven systems, and highly knowledgeable team of painting experts and administrators to support them. As of January 2024, Jamie has brought on a new partner, Julian Sitges, who has also been operating a franchise of Wilson Pro Painting in Victoria B.C. The growth of Jamie’s company has been swift and fruitful.
