The Granite Group, a Concord, New Hampshire-based distributor of plumbing, heating, cooling, water and propane supplies, is pleased to announce that it has been recognized by Business NH Magazine as a Best Company to Work For and a Top Family-Owned Business. As a company that works hard to build a workplace where people are happy to come to work each day, these awards are as meaningful as any other industry award the company has received.

 

"This is a celebration of the great people at The Granite Group and the family business that my father and grandfather started together almost 50 years ago. We are incredibly proud of the commitment our team members show each other and our customers every day," said Bill Condron, president and CEO of The Granite Group.
