| Bob Linley MIoD |
| Chairman & Managing Director |
|
 |
Those of you who remember the old web site will no doubt have noticed how kindly the years have treated our Managing Director (Honest Bob to his family and employees); the thicker, darker hair, the tanned skin. Bob has asked us to point out that this is a side effect of the exposure to EMC that he has had from his generating sets over the years. Yep. |

| Keith Marshall B.Sc (Hon's), C.Phys, M.Inst.P, MIDGTE, MIoD |
| Projects Director |
|
|
Keith (affectionately known as Mussolini by the staff) is also our Health & Safety Officer and Engineering Director. Keith's back ground is with Dale and DEUTZ specialising in Gas Engines and continuous duty plant. He describes himself as a great fan of anything that doesn't send him home covered in soot and smelling of oil. Keith is the nerd of the company and is a Council member of the Association of Manufacturers of Power Systems, the UK's trade body for Generating Set Manufacturers. He is also the Chairman of the Technical Committee of AMPS |

| Vicky Law B.Eng (Hon's), MIET |
| Senior Project Manager |
|
|
Vicky specialises in Principal Contractor work involving both Generating Sets and LV boards. A woman who has been known to stop the car to admire an auto re-closer at the top of a pole (really), she is known and feared by skip companies all over the UK - you just try and leave her site with the wrong paperwork! Vicky is also our internal tutor for the "Engineers Walk" (think of the walk at the beginning of "The Bill" but much, MUCH slower), a skill which we are grateful to the SAP's of the Manchester region for helping her to perfect. Vicky is also the Company's Marketing specialist - it's a passion. |

| John Senior |
| Production Manager/Financial Controller |
|
|
John is WARDPOWER's Production Manager and Financial Controller. A man of steel in many respects (he started in the steel industry), he rules his shopfloor with a rod of iron, a screw driver of tempered steel and monthly barbecues that Ainsley Harriet would be proud of. |

| Jenni Houghton |
| PA to the Directors/Service Co-ordinator |
|
|
Jenni is responsible for quotations and co-ordination of all of our service work. A girl who really can change the oil filter of a car and NOT break a nail! Think Flash Dance with an oily rag. |

| Tracy Bothamley |
| PA to the Directors |
|
|
Tracy is covering for Jenni for the next few months whilst she goes and does maternity things. Tracy in the mean time will be looking after Bob and Keith splendidly, having been given detailed instruction on key administrative duties, personal support requirements and when to just ignore them completely as grumpy old men. |

| Rob Stuart B.Eng |
| Design Engineer |
|
|
Rob is our principal Design Engineer. A Zen master with CAD is 42 dimensions, he is also the "Iron man" of Wardpower cycling ridiculous lengths, running marathons all that kind of thing. Makes you sick doesn't it - he may be smug now but wait 'til his knees go. |

| Glenn Gardner |
| Project Manager |
|
|
Glenn specialises in Project Management for Telecoms and Contracting clients including Vodafone and NG Bailey. A useful man to know if you need your 1937 generating set repaired, legend has it that Glenn has a part from every set he has ever built hidden somewhere in his desk (or brief case, or garage at home...) For those client's that we appear to have some of the key parts for (like the engine) we can only apologise.
We would like to point out that there is no truth in the rumour that Glenn is Top Gear's "The Stig" in his spare time. |

| Diane Livesey B.Eng(Hon's), C.Eng., MIET |
| Project Manager |
|
|
Diane is our newest Project Manager and comes to us with a huge background in electrical componentry, type testing and certification - a PROPER boffin! Starting many years ago on the tools, Diane has progressed through a degree into design and sitting on several BS committees. Now we're going to get to make her a Health & Safety Nerd too! |

| Karen Raffell |
| Project Manager |
|
|
Karen looks after our Contracting customers (NG Bailey, Amec, that kind of company). She's well experienced for it with a background in flood lighting and switchgear. For some reason she doesn't seem to think that a generating set in the basement of a multi-storey car park is as glamorous as organising the lights at the world tiddly winks championships in Helsinki. She'll learn. Oh, and she's from Liverpool. Sorry. |

| David Steele |
| Project Engineer |
|
|
In the beginning there was a Service Engineer. And lo, they gave him a multi-meter, primary injection equipment and more training than a belly dancer trying to enter a convent! And was born DAVID, PROJECT ENGINEER! If he hasn't commissioned it, it can not be commissioned! |

Chief Fixer, there is nothing that this girl cannot arrange. All strictly legal too! |

| Trevor Savage |
| Chief Engineer |
|
|
Trevor has been involved with Wardpower Generating Sets for 40 years. Somedays it seems longer than that for all of us. He is currently the subject of a 15 month study by a famous UK university who believe that he has found a way to break the space/time continuum in his home. They are trying to work out why the internal dimensions of his house have shrunk when the external dimensions are the same. They need to ask his wife and the B&Q decorating department about this. |

| Bonnie Law |
| Factory Dog |
|
|
We at Wardpower take Health & Safety for our employees very seriously. One of our many ways of doing this is by employing our Factory Dog to guilt them out of at least half of their lunch every day (we're only thinking of their cholesterol levels). |
