| Bob Linley MIoD |
| 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 (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 a member 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. |

| 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. |

| Dean Mellor B.Eng (Hon's), MIET |
| Project Manager |
|
|
Dean specialises in sub-contractor work in the Utilities sector (National Grid, Scottish Power etc). One of our members of staff who was trapped by the Great Flood, Dean, drawing on his Royal Marine training, is now at a state of high preparation for any future problems: A can of baked beans and sausages lives on his desk at all times; an improvised hammock is ready on top of the factory crane and plans are available for an emergency escape raft made from packing cases and empty oil barrels. We drew the line at plans to have a 10 man balsa glider catapult from the roof. |

| Karen Raffell |
| Project Manager |
|
|
Karen is a recent arrival at Wardpower and 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. |

| Rob Stuart B.Eng |
| Production Engineer |
|
|
Rob is our principal Production Engineer, planning and resourcing most of our production work. A handy man with a CanBan bin, Rob is 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. |

| Paul Hurst |
| Project Engineer |
|
|
Paul is responsible for electrical design and testing and commissioning of LV equipment. We have been advised on legal grounds not to discuss his hobbies. He has asked us to pass on how much he enjoys, as a man of generous physial proportions, climbing 40ft ladders when on offshore work. |

| Jenni Houghton |
| 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. |

| 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. |

| 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). |
