Shayne Poole
Floor Covering Consultant
I love people—I love learning about what they do and I love learning about what is important to them—I am not sure if this is because I have been working with people for over 20 years, or if I just happen to come across a role that fit me perfectly? Either way, I am looking forward to working with you! Choosing the right floor covering and finding the right installer can be an intimidating process but I have the energy and skill to get us through it, together.
Kendra Callarec
Sales
Hello I am Kendra! I have recently joined the Jenkins Flooring team in Dauphin!
The parkland is home! After spending some time in Brandon for university, I have returned to Dauphin and share space with my puppy! In my spare time, I enjoy hikes, photography or reading a really good book!
If you’re thinking where have I seen her before? It’s probably from a recent trip to the McMunn & Yates Building Supplies. I have been at the Dauphin location for just over one year. The construction industry has always fascinated me, exterior and interior, top to bottom. In the past couple of years, I have taken a passion to learning all there is to know about it! I like attention to detail, some may even say I can be a bit of perfectionist. Interior design a crucial stage of creating your dream home. I will promise to help you find the perfect floor, based on your needs and wants. While you’re in you can also ask me about our line of furniture! I’ am excited to work with you and help you make your dream rooms a reality!

Hello, I am Dwight Lough. I am excited to be a part of the team at Jenkins, The Flooring People, in Brandon.
If you’re thinking, “Where have I seen that fellow before?”, it’s probably from a recent visit to McMunn & Yates Building Supplies. I spent over a decade with them learning an endless amount of information about building supplies.
Five years of delivering drywall and kitchen cupboards, and then a stint at the Service Desk. It was quite a challenge switching from physical labor to mental tasks. In the summer of 2021 I transitioned to the Flooring Sales Specialist and absolutely loved the opportunity for a new challenge.
Now I have about 3 years of flooring experience and I’m constantly expanding my knowledge on the industry. My priority is finding the right flooring that meets each of my customer’s individual needs. This means I pay attention to all the details, beyond just what is in style this year. Whether it is for an apartment renovation, updating a space or building your forever home, each customer has their own design taste and needs. You can count on me to help you find the flooring that matches your desires.
I’m very outgoing, willing to learn new things, quick with a smile… and much to my co-worker’s dismay, I absolutely love the cheesiest of Dad jokes.
Tal Taylor
Sales
I love this innovative industry. Not only am I learning of the most current changes from our manufacturers and suppliers, but I am lucky to be married to a designer who isn’t afraid to take the learning home with us! I am continually educating myself so I can help you find the right product for your needs.
Having worked in the industry for over 30 years, I know all the ins and outs. Not only do I recognize the design aspect and continuing product development but I also realize the installation is key. We have developed a great base of installers that I can connect with you so that your flooring goes in right the first time.
The process of purchasing to installation can be tricky for a home, cottage or commercial building and I can take you through it step by step. I want you to have the best experience in the industry, the Jenkins experience, the Tal Taylor experience.
Harry Pod
Floor Covering Consultant
Yeah, you know me. THE Harry Pod. I have been a part of this industry in this community for 45 years and I love it! I have had a wonderful time cultivating commercial and residential relationships over the years. I really care about your needs and I find this level of interest has allowed me to find the best product for each of my customers.
My goal is to work with honesty and integrity—while providing the best customer service. Tell me how you are going to use your space and I will connect you with the right product. Flooring is more than design, it is about the use of the space—if you are looking for noise reduction, durability, sustainability, I can find the right product for you.
My great relationships go beyond my customers to include our installers. It important that we connect to ensure we are installing the product to the manufacturers specifications as well as our local contractors building designs. Flooring may look simple, but due to our industry’s innovative nature it is important to keep pace with the change.
If you are working with me, I will guide you through the purchase and installation process so that you love your final product. I promise.
Bobbi Jo Flannigan
Sales
Hello, I am Bobbi-Jo,
I have several years of sales experience in the optical and printing industries. Over time my passion for decorating and design became something that I wanted to explore further and for 4 ½ years I went to clients home to provide window treatments. Then in January 2018 I was invited to join the Jenkins family! I have settled in to the flooring industry and enjoying helping my customers discover flooring that best suites their vision.
Growing up in Melita, I am truly a small-town-hearted person. Moving to Brandon in the early 1990s; I discovered that Brandon was my new home. I enjoy creating memories with my husband, Scott, fur babies; Buster and Berkley, and family and friends. I enjoy movies, craft nights, and walking. In 2017 my husband and I purchased a cabin at Oak Lake Beach; which we have loved every moment of.
I look forward to providing Brandon and the surrounding areas with the kind of customer service everyone deserves. I’ll take the time to help you select the perfect flooring for your home, cabin or commercial space. I always keep in mind your lifestyle and budget. My motto in life is, “Treat others the way I like to be treated.”

With a passion for color and design, flooring is a natural step for Lisa! Her excitement for your project will shine through as she learns all about your requirements.
You’ve probably seen Lisa around Brandon as she grew up Carberry and currently resides in Brandon! If you have a small renovation in one room, or you’re looking for a total make over drop in and have a talk with Lisa about what you’re dreaming about for your new floor.
In her spare time, you’ll find Lisa at the dog park with her fur babies.
