My name is John Ricketts. I am a mechanical engineer with a difference, having worked through from tools to PhD, and having systems engineering, instrumentation and electrical engineering skills which enable wider understanding across discipline boundaries and an ability to solve problems residing on interfaces between them.

A Chartered Mechanical Engineer with skills honed by 25 years experience in challenging engineering roles in several different industries covering extremes of the technology spectrum with a refreshing hands-on approach that yields results.

A comprehensive curriculum vitae, starting as an apprentice mechanical technician, and  working through the ranks obtaining a PhD in the design of high speed machinery. 

Additionally holding a high-level UK security clearance, I am based in Gloucestershire, UK.
