Grant has played a key role in the development of the National Biosecurity Centre, supporting the transformation of the Agency’s 100-year-old campus through the integration of advanced digital and technical solutions.
His experience includes the design and delivery of containment facilities, ensuring compliance with stringent biosecurity, safety and regulatory requirements while enhancing operational resilience and long-term capability. Through the implementation of innovative, future-focused solutions, Grant has helped create a world-class environment for pioneering research and the advancement of the UK’s biosecurity infrastructure.
Grant’s passion for seeing the world through different perspectives began at 18, when he raised £3,000 to support St Antony’s School in Malawi. Since then, he has travelled to nearly 100 countries, from sharing afternoon tea with a Cuban grandmother and learning from a Mayan family near the Chacchoben ruins, to most recently celebrating indigenous innovation, art and storytelling at the ‘Te Ao Pūtahi’ Festival in Auckland.
