“Grant provided training and response advisory support to Toll Group for a number of years. This work proved crucial when the organisation was struck by a series of events in 2020 starting with the bushfires, and followed simultaneously by COVID and two global cyber-attacks. The realism in his training and exercises aided in preparing us for this series of events.”

Saul Cannon

Former CFO of Toll Group, now CEO Port of Melbourne

“Grant has supported Armaguard's crisis preparedness for a number of years. Recently, Grant reviewed our cyber crisis response arrangements and delivered training and a desktop exercise for our Executive Leadership Team. It is fair to say that Grant is a leader in his field.”
