The Director Nigel
Thomas is the founder of Greyton Pty Ltd. He was born in South Africa and grew up in Cape Town. He attended school at the Diocesan College (Bishops) and studied Architecture at the University of Cape town in ’87 and ’88. In 1989 Nigel immigrated to Australia and resumed studies at the University of Technology Sydney and graduated with a Bachelor of Building in Construction Management in 1994. Nigel started his career with Civil and Civic, while studying, on the Hotel Nikko Darling Harbour and the ANA hotel in the Rocks. After working for a small sub-contractor for a year in 1993, Nigel started Greyton in August 1994. The first project was the Olympic Aquatic Centre.
The Name
The company name Greyton has very little to do with Passive Fire Protection but rather was borrowed from a small town in the Cape region of South Africa where Nigel spent time growing up. The town consisted of a small farming community but is now more a holiday get away for Capetonians. Greyton is nestled in the shadows of the Overberg Mountains, hence the two mountains in the logo. It has a rich cultural history and was one of the fond memories he brought with him to start a new life in Australia. The village is well worth a visit if you ever venture to South Africa. greytonweekends.co.za
