Graham Higgott
Technical Director & Co-Founder
Experience. Experience. Experience.
Grahams journey in noise and vibration control and acoustics began in England, at a time when calculators were considered high tech and sound level criteria were based on what was reasonable rather than the rule of Law. Completing a six year engineering apprenticeship with a major UK noise control company, and becoming passionate about acoustics and the control of noise, Graham progressed through draughtsman, design engineer to Engineering Manager before moving to Canada in the 70’s to join a major Canadian noise control company.
Working in the UK and later in Canada, opened up many opportunities to work on an enormous variety of noise control applications all over the world, as well as meet and work with many clients extremely talented in their own field. This enabled Graham to not only gain experience in his own field but also gave him empathy for the clients. As the public, manufacturers and government awareness of noise and its detrimental effects increased, so did the requirement for quieter equipment designs and more sophisticated silencing equipment. Graham’s solid foundation of schooling and project experience enabled him to successfully meet these challenges and become a recognised name in his field. In 1998, Michael and Graham put their individual talents together, formed NVC-Olsonfab Ltd. and went about successfully establishing the Company as a leader in the worldwide marketplace.
