Greg Williams (Managing Director)

Father of Calan, with a background in sport through cricket playing in both Perth as well as the UK for seven seasons, with four of these being involved with Somerset County Cricket Club both as a coach and a player representing the County in their 2nd X1. Through coaching Greg has been involved in the highest levels of the sport, coaching state and county underage teams, and working closely with the Western Warriors and Australian Cricket Teams in the capacity of a Performance Analyst for five years.

Over the past 13 years Greg has been a State Manager with the Australian Sports Commission and is currently the WA State Manager for the Alcohol and Drug Foundation.

In the early years of Calan showing promise in motorsport, Greg and Calan’s mother Jenny both worked out that for him to be able to progress through the ranks, a solid sponsorship base, and profile of Calan, would need to be developed. Through building connections and operating Calan’s racing as a business, Greg built the support network around Calan to be able to turn an average karting budget in to one which enabled him to achieve becoming the Australian Formula 3 Champion.

The management of this aspect of the company will continue to be an area of strong focus for Greg as Calan continues on his path through his next steps toward achieving his ambitions.
