Nick Argyropoulos
Guided by Nick Argyropoulos, NA Group’s dedication to safety, quality, and the environment sets it apart from other road and civil services companies.
When Nick Argyropoulos was just 18 years old, he left his family's earthmoving equipment business, bought his own machine, founded NA Group, and began by working as a plant operator. He became a subcontractor for the RMS [Roads and Maritime Services (NSW) or RTA, as it was then known] and continued to grow his company and work his way up the ranks. Today, NA Group has an impressive portfolio of large-scale road and civil works, and the company's innovative approach to improving safety has been extensively awarded.
"It was difficult being taken seriously at that age, but I persevered, and persistence pays off," Nick says. "I just had to improve my knowledge over time, lay low, and learn what I could. Once I knew my stuff, I just had to go about proving how good I was, rather than talking about it."
