Luke is joining the business this month as Head of Embedded Development. Working alongside Rob Bennett, Luke will provide additional capacity and expertise for product development. With 25 years’ experience in product design from concept to market in consumer electronics and highly regulated industries such as Oil and Gas, Security and Medical, Luke brings a wealth of expertise with him. He has experience in electronic design, certification and approval, firmware and application software. He has also managed several teams across different industries.

Here's what Rob had to say: “We are delighted that Luke has come onboard as our Head of Embedded Development. I have worked with Luke in industry at various points over the past 25 years and he brings a wealth of development expertise with him. His track record in consumer, medical and military product development is second to none.”

Simon Pritchard, Owner of Philtronics Group, added “It’s fantastic to see Luke join Rob and I as owners of Philtronics Solutions. Luke, Rob and I have worked together in many guises for over 20 years, so it is particularly pleasing to pull together such a powerful team and skill set. Wales is at the forefront of Innovation and Development of Smart Technology. Philtronics Solutions has already developed a strong track record in development of wearable sports technology and continues to work on several projects in around Sport and medical sectors. Utilising Philtronics Solutions for development projects alongside Philtronics Limited for manufacture has proven to be a very attractive proposition for multiple sectors. I am encouraged by the increase in value attached to “Made in Wales” over the past 18 months. Luke joining the team increases our capacity and capabilities, and is a major step forward on our 3 year strategy."

We would like to wish Luke a warm welcome.
