Introducing our new Engineering Manager, Brian Kedward

Olivia Hoskins • April 16, 2020
At the beginning of the month we welcomed Brian to the Philtronics team, who has taken up the role of Engineering Manager. 
We are excited to have Brian join us as he brings with him more than 20 years of managerial experience within the manufacturing sector. Along with 16 years of experience in the electronics industry, Brian has worked on managing projects in the aerospace sector as well as the automotive sector.


Qualifications and Skills

Brian began his career as an apprentice production technician and progressed up to a senior manager which was no doubt thanks to the knowledge that he gained from studying for a Masters Degree (MSc) in Management. Brian also has an IOSH qualification in Managing Safely along with ISO management experience. Brian had ISO9001:2000 Quality Management System experience in former roles and successfully implemented new processes and procedures conforming to the standard. He certainly adds great value to the business and will be fundamental in ensuring that we provide the best quality products and services to our customers.  We therefore look forwards to seeing what new and innovative ideas that Brian will bring to Philtronics to improve even further upon our own processes.


Improving Processes

Here at Philtronics, we are dedicated towards expanding the business and enhancing our capabilities and that is why we hired an experienced manager like Brian who we know is motivated to contribute to our success. The wealth of knowledge and experience that Brian brings to the role means that we can implement new ideas to improve our day to day operations. Brian's prior experience in Lean Manufacturing processes also means that we have the opportunity to further maximise productivity and efficiency within the business.


We wish Brian the best of luck in his new role!
