Michael Garty

Mike Garty is the Chairman of the Board of Elemera and the esteemed founder of the original Safehouse business back in Scotland in 2001. Boasting a long history in the oil and gas industry, Mike previously specialised in offshore scaffolding projects with his first offshore stint back in 1978.

A wealth of wisdom, experience, and enthusiasm, Mike bears the battle scars and passport stamps earned from working on projects in Denmark, Norway, Egypt, Brunei and beyond.

Mike first developed the habitat business as a one-man band in an old jute mill before turning it into an international company operating in 15 countries and employing over 200 people. Mike sold the original Safehouse business to private equity in 2014 but has stayed close ever since, supporting the Aussie team in their MBO.
