As Global Head of Life Sciences and Pharmaceuticals at Gleeds, Galvin has worked with some of the sector’s biggest names.
He has more than three decades of experience delivering internationally recognised projects across the globe, enhancing Gleeds' reputation and solidifying our position as local market experts within the sector.
Understanding clients' needs to deliver optimal environments for them is what drives Galvin, and has led him to specialise in cost and project management for the last twenty years. His incredibly diverse experience encompasses a broad spectrum of clients and project types, ranging from new builds to complex refurbishments within live operational environments. He thrives on atypical days, seeing them as catalysts for progress.
Galvin was drawn to the life sciences sector by the prevalence and diversity of the Cambridge market, where he has lived for over two decades. He has supported the delivery of over 5,000,000ft² of life science developments within the Cambridge UK cluster, gaining a deep understanding of the commercial, programme, sustainability, social value, and ESG drivers for project success and cluster growth.
I closely identify with Gleeds’ core behaviour of accountability, of acting with integrity - professional services consultancy hinges on it. Taking responsibility for the advice dispensed is of the utmost importance, and failure to do so is not an option.
One of his proudest achievements is the establishment of Constructing Science, an industry-first initiative in collaboration with sector partners. Although early in the brand’s establishment and mission, Constructing Science exemplifies unparalleled collaboration and partnership to advance the sector globally.
Outside of the office, Galvin loves to travel - a passion born from his love for exploring new places, immersing himself in diverse cultures, and fostering global business connections.
