Career
He started training for bobsleigh in the Summer of 2022 after seeing an advert for the British Bobsleigh programme in Bath.[5] He had been due to start training to be a police officer, but instead chose to focus on bobsleigh, following the successful trials. He first set foot in a bobsleigh in late October 2022.[2]
He was a gold medalist with the British four-man team at the IBSF European Championships 2023 in Germany.[6] He was a silver medalist in the Four-man bobsled at the IBSF World Championships 2023 in St Moritz, Switzerland. For the Great Britain team, it was a first four-man World Championships medal in 84 years.[7]
He was a member of the Great Britain four-man bobsleigh team that won a bronze medal in the 2024–25 Bobsleigh World Cup, alongside Brad Hall, Leon Greenwood and Taylor Lawrence.[8]
He was a bronze medalist in the four-man at the IBSF European Championships 2025 in Lillehammer, Norway.[9][10] Although he was part of the team that placed third in the four-man at the IBSF World Championships 2025 in Lake Placid, United States, his personal bronze medal was later disqualified due an anti-doping violation.[11][12]
Following a provisional suspension, in October 2025 Gulliver was issued with a two-year ban backdated to March 2025 for an anti-doping rule violation for unintentional use of ostarine.[13][12]
