Thom Brokerage & Consulting (TBC) is a full-service dealership working alongside First Nations and Indigenous communities across Canada — tackling equipment, funding, and infrastructure challenges that most businesses overlook.
We started because we saw a gap, and we've been closing it ever since.

What Is Thom Brokerage & Consulting?
We're more than a vehicle dealership. We're a full-service operation designed specifically for communities with complex needs and tight timelines.
Here's what full-service actually means:
- Equipment sourcing — We find the right vehicle or asset for your exact need, whether it's a fire truck, grader, or community transport bus. No cookie-cutter solutions.
- Funding navigation — Government grants, Indigenous-specific programs, financing options. We work through the paperwork so you don't have to.
- Training & onboarding — Once equipment arrives, we make sure your team knows how to use it safely and effectively.
- Ongoing support — Maintenance schedules, parts availability, service troubleshooting. We stay engaged after the sale.
- Needs assessments — Before recommending anything, we listen. What are your real operational gaps? What's your timeline? What's your budget reality?
Service locations: All across Canada from British Columbia to Nova Scotia. If you're an Indigenous community, we serve you.
Why Did TBC Start? The Gap in Services
Brenden launched TBC in 2020 after working at an Indigenous-owned dealership where he saw firsthand how underserved these communities were when it came to equipment and vehicles.
Combined with his father's 50 years in vehicle sales, the path forward was clear — but the gap was bigger than most people realized.
The problem: Most equipment companies don't focus on Indigenous communities. Fewer still understand the specific operational, logistical, and cultural factors that shape purchasing decisions in First Nations contexts.
A real example — Winter Roads:
When winter arrives, communities need graders, plows, and dump trucks now. There's a short window, high demand, and inventory is already picked over.
Planning takes months. But traditional dealerships often can't move fast enough, don't stock what you need, and don't understand why the timeline matters so much.
TBC exists to handle this differently:
- We plan ahead with you, not react to emergencies
- We source equipment that fits remote logistics and harsh conditions
- We navigate funding with knowledge of government procurement AND First Nations business purchasing
- We engage culturally — understanding governance structures, decision-making timelines, and community priorities
- We stay with you long after the handoff
