From there Bev moved into sales of vacuum and semiconductor scientific equipment for a period of ten years, and then opened her own vacuum scientific company selling a complete product line from Europe and the United States to various Canadian government departments and industries.
Bev closed her company down, and moved to Nelson, BC in 1991 to write a book on her experiences on selling to the Mulroney government.
