7. David Golding
Channel Manager - Regulatory Compliance
I have known Gunther since working with Queensland Gas
Company (QGC), a BG Group company. Gunther demands the
best, and offers the same in return. He does not tolerate
incompetence. However his requirements have always been
firm but fair, and open to constructive feedback or new ideas.
I am happy to recommend Gunther in whatever role he
pursues, and I hope he would do likewise.

Murray Harley
Safety Supervisor - APLNG
Gunther is a highly experience Oil and Gas safety practitioner
and I consider myself fortunate to have worked with and been
mentored by him during his contract with Laing O'Rourke.
Gunther has a strong work ethic and great inter-personal
skills and this endears him to others.
His strong leadership during challenging times on the APLNG
Project were rewarded with a significantly reduced TRIFR and
a genuine sense of achievement by the H&S Team. I would
recommend Gunther as a HSET Manager to any potential
employer.

Christopher Giumelli
I worked with Gunther on the APLNG project. Gunther has a
streak of integrity a mile wide and refuses to compromise on
his principles. This is something on which OH&S professionals
such as I can come to depend when faced with issues of
principle.
Gunther and I could comfortably agree to disagree without
consequential fear. Say what you have to and mean what you
say. With Gunther play with a straight bat and you will have a
valuable colleague and friend for life. I would recommend
Gunther to any organisation that requires someone to take a
stand on the important issues in the world of work and safety.
