Phil Edwards
Founder and Managing
Director
Weald Technology
Phil worked in design and
manufacturing roles up to board-level, predominantly in high-technology
organisations, until 2005 when he became a self-employed manufacturing advisor
working on lean manufacturing, value-engineering
and process improvement projects across all sectors.
In
2010 Phil spotted the emerging electric-vehicle sector and began a project to
design an electric racing motorcycle, little knowing where it would lead to.
That bike went on to set a UK record and, spurred on by its success, he is now
running a project (that’s been 4 years in planning) to break the electric
motorcycle world-record. In 2012 Phil founded Weald Technology to exploit the
innovations and, under his leadership, the company has picked up numerous
awards for engineering and innovation.
As well as a managing a
number of other low-carbon transport projects Phil spends much of his time
working with schools to inspire young people into taking up STEM subjects.
