Silver jubilee: A 25-year retrospective

Twenty-five years ago, Granite 5 was just a twinkle in our founder Jill’s eye, and our team members were scattered in different corners of the world, living entirely different lives. As we celebrate our silver anniversary, we can’t help but chuckle at the thought of where we all were back then. Some of us were starting school, others were diving into their first jobs, and a few weren’t even born yet! We take a playful trip down memory lane, sharing snippets from our past and daydreaming about where we hope to be in another 25 years. It’s a celebration of growth, both personal and professional, and a toast to the bright future ahead for Granite 5.
