4 | Wood & Grieve Engineers college friends Tony Wood and Kip Grieve. The company started its life as a structural and mechanical services company. Over time, they grew and expanded their offering to include acoustics, civil, electrical, ESD, fire, hydraulic, lifts, property asset management, and underground power services. Granado joined the company as those additional services were gaining prominence. He helped oversee the company’s evolution, first as a Project Engineer, then a Director, and now as CEO. PERSONAL TOUCH Prior to starting his career atWood&Grieve, Granado spent roughly ten years at a South African consulting firm, where he had risen through the ranks to become a partner and Director. When he left that role and decided to move to Australia in 1997, he received many job offers –fromWood & Grieve and most of their competitors. “I have a passion for providing excellence in service, and one of my close friends suggested Wood &Grieve would be a good fit,” Granado recalls. “And that was the feeling I had too, because they did a lot of little things that were close to my heart. When my daughter was born, for example, they sent me a note congratulating me. I wasn’t even working for them yet.” That kind of personal touch, Granado adds, is what enables Wood & Grieve to form strong relationships with all their key stakeholders – from their clients, to their employees, to their subcontractors, suppliers and more.
