Brad Nicholson

Born into an Australian Defence Force family, Brad grew up immersed in a military environment full of dangerous goods. Intent on going into business, Brad graduated high school in 1996 and started studying Small Business Management. On graduating, Brad combined his experience and studies by taking over his father as Owner and Managing Director of DG Air in 1998.

After taking control of the business, Brad focused on building relationships with other serviceable industries beyond the military – including the medical and radiation sectors – and significantly broadened the company’s customer base. After further study at the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO), Brad continued to immerse himself in the legislation and regulations of dangerous goods within each State and Territory of Australia. He is now the country’s leading authority in this field.

Brad is a prominent member of various dangerous goods councils around Australia which consult with the Government on changes to any new or current legislation.
