our story

Direct Detailing was founded by a senior rugby player at the James Bay Athletic Association with the goal of employing local athletes who move to Victoria in order to pursue their rugby careers.

Since 2018 we have grown from a two person operation to a company with four mobile crews and 10 employees. Nearly all of our employees play rugby in the BCRU, MLR, or for Rugby Canada.

Victoria is the centralized location for Rugby Canada, so we see many players coming to town who need supplimental work while they develop their rugby careers.

We currently employ players from the James Bay Athletic Association, Casaway Wanderers RFC, Westshore RFC, Toronto Aarow, Dallas Jackals, Canadian National Sevens Team, and the Pacific Pride Rugby Canada Development Team.

Nathan is the founder of the business, and currently plays rugby for the James Bay Athletic Association. When you contact us by email, Nathan will be there to assist you.

Dewi has been employed with us since the begining of 2020 while he played for The Pacific Pride Rugby Canada Development Team. He will be taking a break from detailing, as he was signed by the Dallas Jackals of the MLR in November of 2021. We wish him the best and can't wait to have him back during the MLR offseason. 

Tusi began his employment with us in 2020, and went on to play for the Pacific Pride Rugby Canada Development Team, and the Toronto Aarows Major Leagye Rugby team. Note the tackle attempt by our owner Nathan, holding onto his leg for dear life!

Although Joel doesn't play rugby, he was too good of a guy not to bring on board. He has been working with us since the Spring of 2020 and is the friendly voice that you will hear if you contact us by phone. 

Thanks for taking the time to check out the team! We are so greatful to have such a great group of people in our company, and to be able to help them all achieve their goals.
