GRANT CARSON: OBITUARY

rant was born in Glasgow, Scotland on the 15th September 1967. His mother, Helen and father
GJames moved to Grangemouth with him and his younger brother Nicholas in the late 1970s.
After leaving school Grant qualified as an electrician and worked in the electrical contracting industry
for 7 years in Scotland before moving to London where he began his career in commissioning in
1990. In a career spanning 29 years Grant worked for most of the established commissioning
companies in the UK, also spending time in Ireland as well as Tokyo and Hong Kong. Grant had also
worked his way through the CSA courses to become a Grade 5 engineer, winning an award for best
student for 2006/2007.

More recently whilst in London working as a Commissioning Manager Grant attended the College
of North West London where he completed 2 years of night school to qualify with an HNC in
Mechanical Building Services. Grant then attended LSBU for 3 years where he earned a First Class Honours degree in
Mechanical Building Services Engineering.

Grant loved working in the close-knit commissioning industry where his leadership, knowledge and sense of humour have
won him many friends at home and abroad. Always approachable and ready to help those around him he was a valued
colleague and friend to all who had the good fortune to spend time with him. Having spent the last 5 years working in
Azerbaijan, Holland and more recently Kazakhstan, Grant was doing his best to ensure standards were being raised and
that commissioning was receiving the focus and attention that it required on a number of major projects.

Away from work Grant liked to watch his beloved Rangers FC. He enjoyed listening to music, especially punk music, and
spending time socialising with his friends and family. He is survived by his daughter Emma as well as his two grandchildren
Olivia and Kate who meant the world to him.

Grant passed away on the 18th December 2018 following a tragic accident whilst on holiday. He will be greatly missed by
his family, his friends and the industry that meant so much to him.
