A supreme process navigator and technical translator, Annabel has adopted an unrivalled reputation for successful, solutions-driven development and deployment of bespoke project outcomes for the most complex and challenging of project scopes.

Annabel McGuire’s enviable pool of academic qualifications and professional achievements serves as a unique knowledge base used to apply strong analytical, strategic and process driven approaches to all projects she undertakes.  This sets her work apart from other less commercially and strategically minded project delivery practices.

Serving as a critical and collaborative lead interface between clients, stakeholders, and end users, Annabel guides her teams to deliver high quality project outcomes every time: outcomes that don’t just meet client’s needs but exceed them. This is evidenced by her ongoing client relationships and Gripfast’s enviable string of national and international awards that bare testament to her leadership and thinking across multiple sectors and services.

Always putting client’s needs at the fore, Annabel strives to leave a legacy of change for every project she takes on, applying clever, innovative, and integrated project solutions. And, this is underpinned by the value she places on ensuring a deep understanding of project detail is achieved, without losing sight of the broader strategic landscape in which a project may play out.
