I started my graduate career as a production engineer at a large precision engineering company manufacturing turbocharger internal components. This was where I was first introduced to robotics, managing a cell containing 9 robot loaded CNC machines. I moved to Kawasaki Robotics UK in 1996 where I progressed to Applications Engineering Manager and worked for 16 years gaining a huge amount of knowledge and experience in all areas of manufacturing. I left Kawasaki in early 2012 to set up KTM Systems and I continue to work closely with Kawasaki Robotics UK supplying robot systems, design, simulation and programming services.
