Megan Rose Gray
Health & Safety Advisor & Environmental Specialist
Megan Rose Gray - Health & Safety Advisor
Megan joined Craven in April 2023 as a Trainee Health & Safety Advisor. Since then, she has successfully qualified and now specialises in Environmental Health & Safety.
Life had brought Megan to a point where she wanted a new challenge — the opportunity to learn, grow, and develop an entirely new skill set while also making a positive difference in the world. The chance to do this at Craven Consultancy Services came at exactly the right time, and Megan is excited to continue her journey with the company.
Megan is passionate about the never-ending process of learning and looks forward to the opportunities her role brings. One of the aspects she enjoys most is the one-to-one work with people: building lasting relationships, supporting them, and helping create safe, sustainable working environments for both individuals and their teams.
Outside of work, Megan loves being outdoors with her Romanian rescue dog, Bear. Ideally, you’ll find them both soaking up the sunshine, as she believes that blue skies and sunshine not only brighten her day but also bring smiles to those around her.
