Being involved with the sewer and water installation at The Bend Motorsport Park to be ready for the 25th Scouts Jamboree was a great achievement for our business. Apart from that, we have many projects that have been undertaken in this region that we are fond of and proud to have the Spry name on.
How did you start your business? This established business was owned and operated by Ray Spry for over 45 years. Ray was ready to let go of the reins and take on some of his personal projects so there was an opportunity to continue the civil business under our new ownership. After a lot of discussion, we came to an agreement to purchase the business and continue trading.
What are your core business activities/specialties? We really focus on delivery of all civil components so we can be the one stop shop for our clients. This includes subdivisions, road construction, carparks, building foundations, services installation, materials haulage, heavy haulage, and project management. Wherever we have a short fall or gap in our delivery, we use our trusted subcontractors to get the projects over the line.
