Tony Lewis

I worked for AB Connectors in Abercynon for 30 years starting as an apprentice and getting to the position of Director and General Manager. In the position of GM, I was responsible for a turnover of £20M and 240 employees.

For the last 13 years, I have been running the European business for a large American company. I was responsible for facilities and people in Central Europe, India, China and the UK.

Although my background is in engineering, I have developed my skills in manufacturing, Sales, Finance and marketing. My market experience is Commercial Aerospace, Defense, Rail and Space.

In my working career, I have had experience of transforming a business to accelerate growth by defining a robust strategy and maintaining a clear sense of direction towards this goal.

I have a broad business background, and an extensive people management skill set which I hope to bring to the mentor role.
