With over 20 years in the electronics industry, including 14 years with G&S Technologies, Leigh Brett is a seasoned leader with a deep passion for integrating technology and systems that deliver real-world results. Since joining G&S Technologies, Leigh has played a pivotal role in the company’s evolution, particularly in healthcare and retirement facility technologies.

In 2014, Leigh spearheaded G&S Technologies’ expansion into the Bay of Plenty, initially as the sole representative. He quickly built a thriving team and client base, establishing the region as a cornerstone of the company’s operations. A trailblazer in Austco Nurse Call Systems, Leigh led the installation of the first Austco Tacera system in a DHB facility at Whakatane Hospital.

“I’m proud of what we’ve built in the Bay of Plenty and our positive impact on clients and their communities. It’s incredibly rewarding to see our technology making a difference in people’s lives, especially in critical healthcare settings. For me, it’s about combining technical strength with a personal touch—showing clients we care and that they can rely on us through any challenge.”

Expertise & Achievements

Leigh’s contributions to the Bay of Plenty region are extensive, including:

  • Expanding the technology portfolio to include MATV, CCTV, access control, and broader communications and IT solutions.
  • Building a talented team of technical experts, fostering innovation and quality in every project.
  • Delivering and maintaining complex installations across a broad geographic region, including Whitianga, Opotiki, and Taupo.
  • Establishing long-term partnerships with healthcare and aged care operators through consistent, high-quality service.

Leigh’s commitment to excellence is evident in projects such as Tauranga Hospital’s new ICU/ICC ward, where the call system was independently certified as 100% defect-free.

Approach & Values

Leigh’s leadership extends beyond technology. He excels at building lasting relationships with clients and staff. His approachable, responsive, and solution-oriented style has fostered low staff turnover and high client loyalty. Leigh believes that G&S Technologies’ success stems from its combination of technical diversity, geographic reach, and a human-first approach.

Two examples that illustrate Leigh’s dedication include:

  • Assisting a rest home client by setting up a resident’s PC and printer—well outside the team’s usual scope of work.
  • Mobilising a team across Oceania Group’s sites by 10 am on a Saturday to perform over 140 system resets during the global Crowd Strike issue.
