MORGAN APPOINTS DEFENCE SPECIALIST

Morgan Advanced Materials has appointed a defence specialist with more than 40 years’ experience to the role of EMEA Business Development Executive within its Composite & Defence Systems business in Coventry, UK.

Adrian began his career as a British Army Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (REME) apprentice before completing international postings with the Royal Armoured Corps Research & Development unit, the Queen’s Royal Irish Hussars and the King’s Hussars. He later acted as an advisor to the Kuwaiti Army, and retired from the Army after serving as the Head of Electro-Mechanical Engineering at the School of Electro-Mechanical Engineering in Bordon, Hampshire.

Adrian then moved into programme management and business development roles at BAE Systems and ITT Defence, most recently working as European Business Development Executive at Exelis Defence Ltd before joining Morgan.

Commenting on his new role, Adrian said: “Morgan has established an enviable reputation for soldier protection and armoured vehicle systems for the global military marketplace, and I relish the opportunity to develop new export opportunities using my own experience of the Armed Forces.”

Martyn Cook, Business Development Director added: “Adrian brings a wealth of experience to the team and his industry relationships will be key to the successful implementation of our export strategy, which focuses on our unique combination of state-of-the-art composites with robust ceramic materials.”
