About Grant

Grant Bushby has been in London for almost 13 years (lucky?). A Rhodes University graduate, he's ex-Ster-Kinekor, ex-M-Net and ex-BBC Worldwide – and now works as Head of Marketing & PR for Impossible Pictures, an independent television production company. He's married to a gorgeous Kiwi (but still a Springbok supporter), has a young son, Finn, and lives in Twickenham – right across the road from the rugby stadium. Loves London but the weather needs to improve. Grant doesn't get to go back to SA as much as he'd like, but when he does, he stocks up on biltong (the Butcher Shop & Grill in Sandton), rusks (Woolies) and Milky Bar Crunch (Pick & Pay).
