He worked and contributed to many projects on the global stage for composites ranging from superyachts, wind turbines and cure in place technology. 

 

Having had exposure to Danish culture Ewen is goal-driven and determined to work in an optimised environment and hates wasted time.

 

"Rather do nothing and know you're doing nothing than pretend to be busy."

 

As a global player in the composite sector, Ewen's value is his innovative and technical insight to composites and their application, coupled with a passion for excellence and a vision to apply to emerging sectors such as space, EV and robotics.

 

His experience is over 30 years in composites activity where he applies his passion today at skills and development and know-how sharing to enable better lives for people by using composites as a vehicle.

 

He was trained at TUCO Marine in Faaborg, Denmark for the first 10 years of his marine obsession in composites and has built green site super yachts manufacturing centres of excellence for Royal Denship AS of Denmark and other major Scandinavian marine sector manufacturers. He has even infused offshore fish farms for Norwegian clients.

Ewen extended his composite know-how to the CIPP or trenchless sector and plays an active role in the development of technology in this sector.
