Advertorial
In July 1978, Wayne Griffin opened the doors to his own electrical subcontracting business in Holliston, Mass. Fast forward 45 years and Wayne J. Griffin Electric, Inc. (Griffin Electric) has evolved from modest beginnings into one of the top electrical firms in the country. With thousands of projects to its credit over the past four decades, Griffin Electric serves clients across a range of markets throughout New England and the Southeast and has made a name for itself as an industry leader.
Success doesn’t happen overnight, and it certainly doesn’t come without putting in the work to build a strong team and culture. Griffin’s “Work with the Best. Be the Best” mentality has guided the company to hire, train, and maintain the best possible workforce and helped shape the company into what it is today. This important milestone is a reflection of the quality of people it has surrounded itself with, from its own dedicated workforce to the solid business relationships it has built and sustained over the years.
The company is proud to have once again earned the No. 1 ranking as the top electrical contractor in New England by Engineering News-Record (ENR), while each of its regional office locations in Alabama, Georgia, and North Carolina are also consistently recognized among the best and largest electrical contractors in the Southeast.
In addition to its 45th anniversary, this year also marks the 30th anniversary of Griffin Electric’s in-house Apprenticeship Training Program. Since 1993, the company has helped guide apprentices on “the pathway to potential” and prepared many men and women in pursuit of their electrical licensure. Griffin’s four-year program, consisting of classroom instruction and on-the- job learning, is federally recognized, state approved and fully accredited by the National Center for Construction Education and Research (NCCER).
Continual education is a central part of Griffin’s culture and employees are encouraged to take advantage of every opportunity to better themselves both personally and professionally. In addition to offering each employee $2,000 of annual tuition reimbursement as well as a mix of voluntary educational resources and courses throughout the year, the company is also proudly partnered with Wentworth Institute of Technology in Boston to provide licensed graduates of its Apprenticeship Training Program an opportunity to earn an associate degree. Promoting self- improvement has helped Griffin continue to rise above any type of change or challenge it is faced with, and it can remain confident it has the type of people in its corner who can overcome anything together.
There is a lot to be grateful for, and the company looks forward to recognizing its 45th anniversary with the entire Griffin Electric team at Summer Outings in each of its five regions.
