GRA was formed in 1997.

From the beginning, we specialised in supply chain strategy, planning and execution, with a strong focus on delivering sustainable results. Our clients experienced real results in short time frames, and our business grew quickly through referrals. With meticulous recruitment practices and careful development, our team of supply chain and logistics experts has expanded to thirty-five professionals who work across Australia and Asia. Over the years, we have worked with organisations across a broad range of industries at both strategic and operational levels. We continue to pride ourselves on achieving outstanding results for our clients, and as a consequence, are now positioned as Australia's premier specialist supply chain consultancy.
