Our Staff

Stuart holds a business degree and began his career with an apprenticeship at his family’s painting business. In 1992, he relocated to Mackay and established Grant Painters, which quickly grew to serve clients across the Central Queensland region. Stuart’s dedication was recently recognised with an award from Queensland Master Painters, celebrating his  contributions to the industry over a period of 30 years.

James started his career as an apprentice at Grant Painters at Townsville 16 years ago. His problem-solving ability and knack for building strong relationships have made him a highly valued leader – important in his role as the branch manager of our Townsville and Brisbane/Sunshine Coast operations. As a “people person” he fosters a supportive environment, earning the trust of both clients and team members.   

Sol has played a key role in Grant Painters since joining the business in 2008. His first major project, overseeing the painting of Airlie Beach’s famous Coral Sea Resort, highlighted his exceptional ability to manage complex projects. Since 2011 he has been responsible for growing our South Australian arm. In his spare time he is a volunteer firefighter in the Mt Lofty Ranges.

Hayden began his painting career 11 years ago in Townsville, gaining extensive experience working with Grant Painters. He has built expertise in a wide range of projects, from multi-storey developments to new residential builds and detailed heritage restorations. Hayden joined our Brisbane–Sunshine Coast branch three years ago, where he has become an integral part of the team, known for his skill and commitment to high-quality finishes.

Kerrie Edwards oversees administration of four branches and supports a team of over 20 staff. Based in Townsville, Kerrie is often the first point of contact for many of our clients, ensuring smooth communication. With 20 years of experience in administrative roles within the construction industry, Kerrie brings a wealth of knowledge, exceptional organisational skills, and a commitment to  outstanding service.

Jacob began his career with us eight years ago as an apprentice and, for the past three years, has served as a foreman in Townsville. He has been instrumental in managing multi-storey projects, coordinating crews, and ensuring worksites run smoothly. Equally confident operating from the cockpit of a spider lift as he is organising complex job sites, he is a versatile and reliable leader – thriving on problem-solving challenges in difficult-to-access locations.
