Brendan Green
CEO
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.
Brendan has spent more than fifteen years working in Work Health and Safety (WHS) and Occupational Hygiene, and has been fortunate enough to gain exposure to a wide variety of industries since leaving BHP Billiton (to start GCG). 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.
Brendan has tertiary qualifications in Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) and Industrial Hygiene. He was also a recipient of a WA Business News '40under40 Award' in 2012 - an award "designed to recognise and celebrate Western Australia's 40 leading business entrepreneurs under the age of 40."
