Stephen Grove founded Grove Hire in late 1996 after several years in the hire industry. With a vision to focus on site sheds in Victoria, he purchased his first unit second-hand from a competitor — and Grove Hire was born.
Grove Hire secured its first major project: supplying site sheds to Multiplex for the construction of Federation Square. This four-year build marked Grove’s entry into high-profile government infrastructure.
Recognising a lack of quality building manufacturers to support his expanding fleet, Stephen established an in-house manufacturing capability. This marked the inception of Grove Construct — now the group’s largest business.
Grove Construct delivered its highest-profile project to date: building the athlete’s village for the 2006 Melbourne Commonwealth Games.
As part of the Federal Government’s Building the Education Revolution, Grove Construct was selected to deliver hundreds of classrooms across Victoria — solidifying its presence as a key player in education sector.
Grove diversified into motorsport, founding Grove Motorsport. What began as an in-house racing operation laid the foundation for the group’s broader involvement in Australian motorsport.
Grove Construct became a key delivery partner for the Victorian School Building Authority’s relocatable buildings program, delivering over 50 schools and kindergartens annually. Grove now holds over 40% market share in this program.
To support continued growth, Grove moved into its flagship, bespoke manufacturing and storage facility, Mega Rise in Pakenham — a major milestone that has enabled further expansion and and unparalleled operational capability.
Seeing an opportunity to internalise logistics, Brenton Grove launched Grove Capital — a specialised transport division. With a growing fleet of trucks and trailers, it quickly became the group’s third key operational pillar that's become a lasting competitive advantage.
The Grove family acquired Kelly Racing, marking a major milestone in their motorsport journey. After a transition season as Kelly Grove Racing, the team became fully Grove-owned from 2022.
As part of the Federal Government’s pandemic response, Grove partnered with Multiplex to deliver quarantine facilities in Victoria and WA — supplying nearly 50% of the total buildings delivered in record time.
In response to the State Government’s investment in mental health, Grove Construct delivered one of Australia’s first fully modular hospital facilities in partnership with Lendlease and the Department of Health.
Stephen and Jayden Grove launched Groblox — an innovation that combines the group’s design, manufacturing and hire expertise to deliver a new standard in event and activation solutions.
With housing affordability at crisis levels, Brenton Grove established a dedicated team to address the issue. In partnership with leading developers, funds and banks, Grove Construct delivered a scalable low-cost housing model — with build timelines of just 15 days in factory and 5 days on site.
