How did the idea to start a property development company come about?Leigh has been in the building industry for over 30 years, and has a passion for the industry as he has grown up with generations of builders within the family. Both his grandfather and father were both builders.
What has been the most challenging part of your business journey so far?The most challenging part for myself was coming into an industry that I have never worked in and had absolutely no knowledge of. Also working from home has been very challenging when trying to find a balance with work life and family life.
What has been the most rewarding?I love learning new things and have really embraced the industry. I love working along with the clients and seeing their satisfaction at the end of the project. I really enjoy the work as there are always new things to learn.
Tell us about the Galea Brand and how it came to be?After having a workshop and doing a lot of brain storming, the Galea Brand came out when Leigh had identified that he did not want his business associated with just “Homes”. He has a long term goal of being able to bring the business out in later years where we may be able to branch out into different divisions.
How did Solid help you on your journey?Solid has been amazing and has been very influential with which way to go. We have enjoyed working along with Gavin and been able to put our ideas across and value the honesty in letting us know if we are not on the right track.
What were they like to deal with?Excellent, we have really enjoyed working with the team. Very approachable and very comfortable working with them.
