Robert Bruce Gray's Career

Robert Bruce Gray’s building company became his first success story. He implemented the use of unique imported timbers in his building project and this lead to the establishment of a wholesale timber and building material company, which supplied product to his competition.

Robert Bruce Gray was not satisfied with this success and wanted to further develop his business holdings and personal assets. As his registered building company continued to grow, Gray obtained further land and property development contracts.

A skilled financial negotiator, Gray had the ability to secure financing to expand and develop his business into a multi-functional corporation involved in evaluation, marketing and promotions, planning and design, and a strong wholesale division.

By 1989, Gray had expanded his businesses significantly, and had established a timber and building material wholesale business, a land and property development business, and a principal building and construction company building spec homes and contract homes. The building company’s book of One Hundred house plans and designs was a tremendous success, especially for those seeking to have large homesteads built.

Recessionary times hit Australia in 1989, because of poor government policies, and seriously affected the building industry. Gray took this as a sign to move into a more profitable arena and became a sales executive for an authorized Mercedes Benz dealership. Although he had no previous experience, Robert Gray was recognized as a member of the prestigious Star Sales Guild in 1990 and 199. This honour is awarded to sales executives who have achieved the status as one of the top five (5) performing sales executives for Mercedes Benz, Australia.

Not content to sit on his laurels, Gray established a career as a commercial real estate agent in 1992. An expert at networking, Gray’s client base at Mercedes Benz, provided him with a high-end list of potential clientele in the Corporate, Banking, Retail and Government sectors.

Robert Bruce Gray acquired two parcels of land in transitional business towns and in 1994 and 1995 shopping centres were constructed on the properties. Gray also established furniture and electrical retail businesses to operate in those two shopping centres.

Gray continued to prosper and his holdings grew to include four (4) retail furniture and electrical product businesses. He was a pioneer in the area of national retail sales 'loyalty programmes'. Recognizing the success of this program, other business owners consulted Gray and he helped implement similar programs. Gray’s financial genius became more apparent as he expanded and formed a financial consulting brokerage, using his financial leverage to borrow bulk funds for re-lending.

By 1997, Gray’s drive and determination led him to into the world of International Banking and Finance. He divested his Australian assets and relocated to London. Gray was not the kind of man to let grass grow under his feet, and it didn’t take him long to establish a productive financing and banking and network in the United Kingdom, the USA and Europe.

Robert attributes his commitment and passion to his father’s ingenious character and his mother’s business acumen. Robert Gray inherited his work ethic from his parents, and started working as a carpenter’s assistant on weekends and after school. Robert went on to manage a small factory workshop for Brightways Hardware, in Toowoomba, Queensland, Australia. The company manufactured aluminum fly screen windows and doors. He obtained an apprenticeship in carpentry and joinery with the Earl Cramp Building Company. Robert’s potential was recognized at the early age of sixteen (16) years when he was hired by Clarkways Homes. Gray proved his mettle by working holidays and weekends on “bush jobs”.
