What is your goal in a diversified marketplace?
|
The underlying
philosophy of GARRAHAN Electric Inc. is the belief that excellence
is the only acceptable standard of performance. Simply stated, our
goal is to become a leader in providing high-quality, cost-competitive
engineering and technical support services to our military, government,
and industry customers.
|
How successful is Garrahan in
the marketplace? |
There’s no secret
to our 31 consecutive years of growth. Garrahan strategy is to be
the best contractor in Sacramento where we have chosen to focus our
expertise. From there, we successfully apply award-winning business,
technical, and functional skills to areas that are vital to our clients.
|
What does GARRAHAN provide its
customers? |
Fundamentally,
we are in the business of providing our customers with engineering
design, fabrication, and installation of electronic and communication
systems and equipment. Our most important value is to place the customer
first. In doing so, we have established significant repeat business
with our customers for the quality and responsiveness of our service;
are most highly regarded by the customer for the excellence and commitment
of our people; and are most respected for the value we provide our
customers. Our success depends upon our ability to understand the
customers
needs, the timing
of our responses, and our ability to serve our customers better than
the competition.
|
How profitable and sound is
GARRAHAN? |
Our profit growth
objectives are attainable and built on sound strategies. GARRAHAN’s
resource base has grown to over 950 employees located nationwide and
operates from a contractual base of over $800 million.
We strongly feel
that profit is a requirement, not a residual. It must be planned in
advance and premiums placed on achievement. We believe that it is
possible to grow a business profitably at an aggressive rate; however,
a sustained and progressive growth rate enables management to more
accurately chart the course of the corporation.
Our marketing
strategy is to expand our customer base by selectively targeting new
commercial markets which enhance GARRAHAN’s role as an Information
Transfer (IT) technology contractor. Selective expansion of our customer
base strengthens our position in the industry and affords future potential
for diversification. To us, the absence of progressive growth and
profit has a negative reflection on the ability and imagination of
management.

Frequently
Asked Questions
|
Does GARRAHAN ever consider itself
in a Subcontractor role? |
Our role in the
marketplace is that of Prime Contractor. However, consistent growth
has allowed us to compete in a wider range of the marketplace and expand
or create new business units within the corporation. Strategies which
involve the company’s participation in other than a Prime role are viewed
judiciously and prioritized on a case-by-case basis so that our corporate
resources (human, capital, and physical) are not put at risk when management
seeks to pursue opportunities which demand large commitments of these
resources. By doing so, our established reputation will not be subject
to jeopardy.
|
How do we regard its relationships
with subcontractors and vendor? |
Our subcontractor
and vendor relationships are demanding yet fair. GARRAHAN actively seeks
business relationships with Small Businesses, Small Disadvantaged Businesses,
and Small Woman-Owned Business concerns. We expect the same results
from our subcontractors and vendors as we demand of ourselves. Our customers
expect excellence and it must be achieved by all those with whom we
are involved.
|
How is GARRAHAN’s management structured? |
In our business
of providing services to the customer, people are the competitive edge.
We believe that management should be comprised of a balance of the business
experiences that are relevant to the requirements we currently face
and anticipate in the future. We strongly feel that management should
represent a creative blend of engineering, technical, operations, marketing,
financial, and administrative backgrounds.
|
What is the work ethic and how
do we manage in regard its people? |
Excellence requires
a blend of talented people who enjoy their commitment. Working should
be more than a way of earning money. It should provide an opportunity
for personal expression, fulfillment and creativity. We respect, recognize
and reward employees. We recruit and are committed to the personal and
professional development of people who share these views about their
careers. We believe in helping our employees develop their full potential
through training and work experience. Average commitment is not tolerated
because we feel that extraordinary commitment distinguishes the outstanding.
At GARRAHAN, exceptional performance earns exceptional compensation.
Advancement and responsibility are commensurate with the achievement
of outstanding results.
|

others in the same business? |

to the satisfaction and success of each customer distinguishes GARRAHAN
from other companies. We stand behind our work and our record of achievement.
