About Brendan
Contact Brendan https://www.linkedin.com/in/brendan-green-34859215/

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."

I mean, Professional Services is a hard market. It's people oriented. And you know, you guys have grown since I met you you've grown from three to 20 mil, which is outstanding. And so I thought we'd we delve back a bit and I'd ask you some of the things are perhaps not completely across myself. So you started Green Consulting Group, which is a health, safety and hygiene business in 2005. And so prior to that, you have been to uni, you trained.
