Grant Instruments was born over 70 years ago, through one man’s vision and passion for invention. Peter Ward, a Cambridge University economics graduate and Olympic three-mile runner had a hobby for repairing mechanical singing birds. From this, some might say, unlikely link, Peter went on to create his first commercial invention, a water bath. Together, with Cecil Chapman who joined Grant in 1954, both Cecil and Peter built the foundations of Grant Instruments to instil strong values that remain deep-rooted in the company today.
