Oliver is highly popular among customers and staff alike. He is also well known for his very precise approach to his joinery work. His mantra is that things must be done to the best standard, which puts him in a very similar mould to the rest of our tradesmen! Not only a highly accomplished joiner in his own right, Oli is also an excellent mentor to the younger lads on board, helping them not only to develop their skills but to understand the standards we all work to here at Granada.

Steve has always found home extensions to be the most enjoyable work he has carried out, especially as he has the opportunity to see the impact he and our team get to have on our customers lives and the true improvement to their homes which our extensions provide. Steve joined the Granada team in 2015, and works alongside his brother Graham as well as the rest of our team. He loves to deliver a first class build each and every time.
