Position

I joined Contronics way back in 2000 to update their elderly product range. My role is to see the direction of travel our industry will head with emerging technologies and get there before our competition. I’m happiest designing electronics that give us a cutting edge.

Where are you based?

I’m based in Knutsford, Cheshire which is a quaint town surrounded by rolling hills but just 10 miles from the centre of Manchester. The only downside is that it’s one runway length away from the end of the runway at Manchester Airport.

What do you enjoy doing when you’re not working?

I like to restore vintage high-end Hi-Fi. I’m interested in making picture frames for my other passion which is photography. I’m a better picture framer than a photographer!

Tell us an interesting fact about you…

I’m not a big Formula 1 fan but I’m aiming to attend all the Formula 1 Grand Prix as an excuse to travel the world – driving there wherever possible. I once gave a lift to Michael Palin who turns out not to be a good passenger.
