# List of corporate groups and holding companies in British Columbia

Tamtam tracks 33 corporate groups and holding companies headquartered in British Columbia. This list ranks all of them by number of employees on LinkedIn, led by Ledcor, Northland Properties and Teekay. Their median headcount is 422. Half of them were founded in 1987 or later. The most common headquarters are Vancouver (21) and Surrey (2).

These companies in British Columbia are mostly large corporate groups, many of them with long histories. Among them, Ledcor is a diversified construction organization, Northland Properties is a hospitality and sports entertainment group, and Teekay provides global crude oil marine transportation services. Equinox Gold Corp. is a growth-focused mining company.

A common thread among these companies is their significant presence in the natural resources sector, particularly mining, with companies like OceanaGold Corporation and First Majestic Silver Corp. operating gold and silver mines. Another notable pattern is the concentration of headquarters in Vancouver, indicating it as a central hub for corporate activity in the province.

## How this list is built

Every company on this list has a Tamtam company profile. The industry is the one the company gives on LinkedIn; categories such as SaaS or fintech are classified by Tamtam's AI from the company's website and LinkedIn page; and the headquarters city must match the company's own address. Companies are ranked by the number of employees on LinkedIn, and the list is refreshed every night. Classifications can be wrong, so treat the list as a starting point rather than an official ranking. Last updated Nov 12, 2026.
