For RJG, however, internal growth is more important than external growth. Their highest priority is “growing from within” and developing their people. James is an example of that. He first joined RJG as an apprentice carpenter roughly five years ago and now he’s a project manager. “We are quite a young and energetic building company,” James says. “We pride ourselves on in-house growth. We have multiple people who started off as carpenters and who now are supervisors and junior supervisors. Our previous administrator has been put through an advanced diploma, so she’s now transformed into contract administration and safety.” “We’re very big on in-house growth,” he reiterates, “especially in these times, where there’s a shortage of staff around the world and it’s a challenge to find good people. We believe it’s important to help develop those people inhouse. We try to grow in-house before looking elsewhere.” NOVEMBER 2022
