Trevor thrived while working at RHP in Mississauga, distributing and selling the MTE line all over North America. In 1992 Trevor received an offer to become MTE’s sole distribution partner, and therefore in September of 1992, Trevor Opened Everything In Control Inc, located in Burlington Ontario.

EIC Later added the Pizzato Electrica line of products to their basket and created a very good market presence. Trevor Retired in 2017, and in 2019 EIC was finally closed.
Continuing Trevor’s legacy, his son Michael King-President, then opened Finder Components Inc. Trevor was known to many as the English Gentlemen, and always had a friendly demeanour to him.
