They agreed that upon doing so, Tom would get a job with this company. In one day, he raised the full amount. Over the next couple of years, he learned the ins and outs of small business.
And so it began, in 1987 Grandy & Associates was formed. Over the next decade, steady and continual growth occurred and Grandy established themselves as a credible training company in the industry.
Then in 2005, Tom crossed paths with Bill Kinnard. Tom’s business model had been a passion and calling that tugged at Bill for years. And through a series of interactions, Bill joined Grandy and together, they continued to develop and expand the company.
In 2012, Bill approached Tom and expressed his desire to purchase the company from Tom. Shortly afterward, an agreement was reached and the ownership structure was realigned, and the corporate headquarters were moved to Green Bay Wisconsin.
At this location, Bill directs operation and strategy and Tom remains fully on board working out his office in Owensboro, Kentucky.
Since its inception, Grandy & Associates has trained tens of thousands of contractors on how to make their businesses profitable.
With the original vision of Tom well intact, combined with the leadership of Bill and a committed and talented team, Grandy & Associates is well poised to continue its journey as an industry leader in business training.
