EXECUTIVE INTERVIEW

architects, and guarantee a certainty of
price, delivery and design. It’s a division
which Greg says is really starting to
ramp up now.

“We’ve had record numbers of
customers coming through so we are
hoping to fast-track the build of more
display homes to fifty in the not too
distant future,” he says.

Canny Group’s strong brand and growth
is a boon for its business-to-business
relationships too, and Greg is quick to
point out the importance of those
relationships in the industry. The
company consciously makes an effort
to build strong connections with its
suppliers and subcontractors. “It is
pivotal to a business of our size to have
good relationships, and it’s important
to keep working on them,” he says. “We
seek suppliers that are best of breed, or
that have a really premium product

that is accepted in the market, because
their product assists us in keeping our
brand strong.”

After thirty years in the industry, Greg
insists he still gets a kick out of standing
back and admiring a completed
building. “The best part of my job is the
gratification. The experience of
completing something and standing
back and thinking, ‘Wow, I was involved
in that’ — that is my biggest buzz.

“Also, every day is different and I get to
meet extremely interesting people. My
work is vibrant and challenging; I feel
privileged, it’s been that way my whole
working life.”

“It is a real pleasure to be working with Canny
Group. We find that our interest and enthusiasm
for delivering top results while still providing a value
for money solution is what both of our companies
stand for.” - Eugene Vinarsky, Business Development
