Strategic Support for Advanced Materials

With nearly 20 years of commercial leadership experience across high‑value metals and engineered materials, I bring deep expertise in driving growth within the aerospace, defence, automotive, and energy sectors.

I’ve built and scaled international business for leading materials organisations, specialising in magnesium, titanium, nickel alloys, and aerospace‑grade steels. My career blends strategic business development with hands‑on commercial execution — from opening new markets to managing complex Tier 1 defence and OEM relationships across the UK, Europe, and global territories.

Most recently, as Global Sales Growth Leader at Luxfer MEL Technologies, I was responsible for a £22m advanced magnesium business, leading global sales strategy, distributor networks, and direct engagement with major defence primes including BAE Systems, Saab Dynamics, Rheinmetall, and MBDA. Before that, I led product group commercial strategy and marketing, growing revenues from £1.5m to £19m while maintaining strong margin performance.

Earlier roles at Tata Steel Speciality, Castle Metals UK, and Corus Group gave me a strong foundation in aerospace account management, export sales leadership, and market development across Europe and the Middle East.

I hold an MBA (Distinction), a BA (Hons) in Business & Marketing, and I’m a Chartered Manager (CMgr MCMI) — combining academic rigour with real‑world commercial execution.

Today, I apply this experience through a focused consultancy approach: helping materials science businesses unlock growth, build strategic customer relationships, and succeed in complex, high‑performance markets.
