Integration expands Jensen Hughes’ expertise in accessibility, universal design, and engineering solutions across Australia and the Pacific region.

SYDNEY, July 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Jensen Hughes, a global leader in safety, security and risk-based engineering and consulting, announced today that its partner firm, Morris Goding Access Consulting (MGAC), has officially rebranded to Jensen Hughes. MGAC, a renowned accessibility and universal design consultancy based in Australia, has been operating in partnership with Jensen Hughes since its acquisition in 2022.

MGAC, founded in 2001 by Nick Morris, OAM, and David Goding, has been at the forefront of universal design and accessibility consulting, providing expert counsel for major events and high-profile projects worldwide. The firm’s expertise has been instrumental in projects such as the Sydney Olympic Park redevelopment, the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, and numerous Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Recent years have seen Jensen Hughes establish partnerships with multiple leading engineering firms in the Pacific region, such as BCA Logic and Warringtonfire Australia. The rebranding and integration of MGAC not only further solidifies Jensen Hughes’ position in the Pacific but also ensures MGAC can continue to advance their client services and uncover new opportunities as part of the Jensen Hughes brand.

“The rebranding of MGAC to Jensen Hughes marks a significant milestone in our global strategy to enhance and expand our accessibility and universal design services,” said Nick Morris, Technical Principal, Accessibility + Universal Design at Jensen Hughes. “Along with expanding our services, this rebranding will benefit our clients and the community through further development of accessible design and safety strategies.”

Morris and Goding, both accredited accessibility consultants, started MGAC as a way to create a more accessible world and build more positive living experiences and outcomes for all, especially those with accessibility or health issues. 

Morris, a recipient of Australia’s prestigious Medal of Order, is a gold-medal Paralympian who brings his own lived and professional experiences to help organisations in the Pacific and worldwide create inclusive spaces. Goding is regarded as one of the pre-eminent access consultants in Australia, bringing his expertise in universal design of the built environment as well as over 20 years of experience in the building industry.

Stuart Boyce, Senior Vice President, Pacific Region at Jensen Hughes, commented on the integration: “I look forward to the new opportunities that will come and anticipate a significant impact across the region and globally. MGAC’s deep-rooted understanding of the local accessibility regulations and universal design practices enable us to tailor our services more effectively to meet the unique needs of our clients, fostering stronger, long-term relationships.”

MGAC’s unrivalled team of accessibility consultants and universal design experts will provide a seamless transition, with continued support from their offices in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Canberra, and Perth. Clients can expect the same high level of service and expertise they’ve come to trust, now backed by the expanded resources and capabilities of the Jensen Hughes global network.

Greenzie releases 2025 Annual Safety Report, documenting multi-year safety performance at commercial scale

Published

on

By

The data shows zero lost-time injuries, zero OSHA medical attentions and zero human near-misses across real-world operation

ATLANTA, April 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Greenzie, the technology platform powering commercial autonomy across multiple OEMs, today shared multi-year safety data from real-world commercial operation, documenting more than 150,000 autonomous miles with zero lost-time injuries, zero OSHA medical attentions and zero human near-misses. The data is published in Greenzie’s 2025 Annual Safety Report, available at greenzie.com/safety.

The report is based on extensive operational data spanning more than 5.4 billion square feet of turf mowed, 68,000+ hours of autonomous mowing and more than 50,000 operator days, the equivalent of 265 mowing seasons.

“Greenzie is helping define safety in autonomous landscape operations, and transparency is a critical part of that,” said Steve Bush, chief operating officer of Greenzie. “These results show that commercial autonomy is operating safely at meaningful scale in the field. Transparency matters because as this category matures, real-world data helps build confidence in what responsible deployment looks like.”

The report’s findings are particularly significant in the context of the U.S. landscaping industry, which employs roughly 1.3 million workers and experiences a higher-than-average rate of workplace accidents compared to other fields. Greenzie’s multi-year operating data shows that autonomy is not theoretical; it is already being deployed consistently and performing safely at scale.

“Greenzie Powered Autonomy™ has been validated through years of sustained use in the field,” Bush said. “That level of real-world performance reinforces both the reliability of our platform and the broader readiness of commercial autonomy.”

Greenzie attributes this performance to a disciplined safety approach that includes robust perception, tested operating standards and continuous validation in real-world commercial environments.

About Greenzie

Founded in 2018, Greenzie is the technology platform powering commercial autonomy. Created to solve the landscape industry’s labor and productivity challenges, Greenzie works with leading equipment manufacturers to deliver the software, navigation and safety systems that enable mowing and other outdoor power equipment to operate autonomously in real-world commercial environments. Today, Greenzie’s platform is running on hundreds of machines in active use, helping manufacturers bring autonomy to market and allowing operators to get more done with limited labor—moving autonomy from early experimentation to everyday operations.
