Current Employer/Organisation Name

Cathelco Ltd

What have you been doing since leaving Exeter, and what are you doing now?

Since graduating from Exeter, I have built over six years of experience in sales and recruitment across the marine industry, bio-pharma, med-tech, and industrial manufacturing. I am currently a Business Relationship Manager at Cathelco Ltd, where I bridge the gap between complex engineering and client needs. My work focuses on high-specification technical products rooted in physics and engineering, primarily serving the global marine industry.

Why did you choose this career? And what do you enjoy most about your work?

I am driven by the challenge of bringing sophisticated engineering and sustainable solutions to the global maritime market. My role allows me to facilitate the adoption of complex, physics-based products that solve critical environmental and operational challenges. I particularly enjoy the constant innovation in this field, as it allows me to help make global marine operations more efficient and eco-conscious.

What did you enjoy most about your programme and what was the biggest highlight?

I really enjoyed the lab facilities and the speciments collections we had available.

What are your plans for the future?

Moving forward, I aim to transition into strategic leadership roles where I can oversee the global commercialization of high-specification technologies. My goal is to continue bridging the gap between advanced engineering and market adoption, ensuring that critical innovations—whether in the marine, industrial, or life sciences sectors—are scaled effectively and sustainably.
