The Ward Group commenced business in 1973 as Bass Civil Engineering, undertaking deep excavation and shoring contracts in the Sydney CBD. Founded by the late Peter Ward, the group now consists of four independent construction-related divisions. Each company within the group is quality endorsed and is supported by an experience management team and professional engineering staff. The group currently has over 150 employees. Chaired by Glenn Cherrie, the group still maintains its original focus on building and maintaining long-term relationships with clients, subcontractors, suppliers and employees. Ward Group now provides the resources to carry out any contract relating to civil, environmental and ground engineering and plant hire.
