Obituary Grahame Gibbs
It is with sadness that we report the passing of Grahame Gibbs, a founder of the CIBSE ANZ region, a past chairman, holder of both a Bronze and Silver CIBSE Medal and regional almoner for the CIBSE Benevolent Fund.
Grahame had a lifelong involvement with the building services industry. He was in consultancy throughout a large part of the 1950s and 1960s with Donald Rudd & Partners, fi rstly within their London branch and then, in 1957, Grahame moved to Australia, helping to set up the Donald Rudd & Partners’ Sydney offi ce. Grahame’s passion was contamination control and controlled environments, and he worked for a period with the Australian fi ltration manufacturer, Email Westinghouse. As colleague Daniel McCaffery recently observed on LinkedIn, Grahame was ‘brilliant, passionate and innovative, a pleasant and enlightening team leader who set a lot of steps in action at Email Westinghouse that set us apart’. Grahame moved back into consulting and, at a time when many might consider retiring, he started his own company. He also took up lecturing, running a number of courses at the University of Technology Sydney.
As an industry we owe a lot to Grahame; he sat on a number of Australian Standards boards, and was a Standards Australia delegate to the International Standards Organization (ISO), attending meetings in London, Dusseldorf, Berlin and Sydney. He was a member and foundation honorary secretary of the Australian Contamination Control Society and a member of the International Society of Pharmaceutical Engineering. Grahame was also very active in the Australian Institute of Refrigeration Airconditioning and Heating (AIRAH), where he served as a NSW chairman and an AIRAH board member.
During his tenure as CIBSE chairman, he drove the formation of a New Zealand chapter, so cementing the ANZ region. He pushed education, delivered two groundbreaking international conferences, and helped get the Masters in Building Services Degree off the ground at Sydney University.
Our industry is all the better for his immense contribution, and all the poorer for his passing. Our condolences go to his wife Shirleyann, who herself has given much to CIBSE, and his family.
