Quelch has over 34 years of design and management experience, working predominantly in the aerospace industry.

Starting as an apprentice trained mechanical engineer, Quelch has worked for companies such as Airbus and Princess Yachts, in the UK as well as Germany – eventually starting his own successful company.

Quelch commented light-heartedly: “At 55 I felt I would like to be based somewhere locally, rather than travelling to Zurich and back like the last summer. I think Rotec has got a great future; it’s a company that will expand I think, and that appealed to me.”
