Our History
2000 - 2009
In March 2000, Gavin Jackson formed Gavin Jackson Pty Ltd, laying the groundwork for an independent heritage consultancy conducting work of a high and professional standard and dedicated to establishing, consistent, long-standing relationships with Aboriginal communities. In late 2009, as the company grew steadily, Gavin Jackson Pty Ltd underwent its first brand refresh, with the name changing to Gavin Jackson Cultural Resource Management.
2010 - 2022
Over the years, our company has emerged as a trusted expert in cultural heritage services, within the Western Australia. As demand for cultural heritage services grew, so did our team, expanding our capacity to assist our clients.
In 2015 and 2019, respectively, long term employees Ian Ryan and John Marrell became partners in Gavin Jackson Cultural Resource Management with increased involvement in managing the operations and affairs of the company.
The company encourages all of its staff to become members of the Australian Association of Consulting Archaeologists Inc. (AACAI) and the Australian Archaeological Association (AAA). We uphold the ethical standards set by these organisations, and we are committed to delivering tailored, comprehensive and efficient outcomes for heritage projects, ensuring a quality-driven and reliable consultancy service.
