Brendan is the Founder and CEO of GCG, and established the business in 2005. He considers leading the wonderful, close-knit community at GCG as the best part of his job and loves the challenges of working alongside such a high performing team. Brendan believes GCG is an outstanding workplace because there are so many team members who are genuinely committed to helping their clients with WHS.

He is a Senior Consultant focusing primarily on upskilling and supporting clients on implementing practical and sustainable WHS management systems within their businesses.
GCG is fortunate enough to sponsor the annual Australian Institute of Occupation Hygienists (AIOH) Presidents Cup Golf Day, and as a golfing fan Brendan enjoys - whenever the opportunity arises - getting out on the course for eighteen holes.
Brendan is a member of the Western Australia chapter of the Safety Institute of Australia (SIA) and actively contributes to the ongoing development of SIA's presence in Australia. He is also involved in the Young Safety Professionals Network (YSP) and continues to mentor people new to WHS and Occupational Hygiene.
