“There are so many exciting things to come from ghd in the next 12 months and beyond, and I can’t wait to help develop and deliver the education content to support this journey.”

Grant’s vast industry experience spans 25 years and includes credits such as his role as the former creative director for TONI&GUY Australia and international education director of evo, two trophies as Australian Hair Fashion Award Men’s Hairdresser of the Year, Australian Hairdresser of the Year finalist and Educator of the Year finalist.

In this new educative role, Grant will also focus on co-creation with the brand’s creative artists and brand warriors, and continue to expand the digital offering of ghd’s education platform.
