I head up the technical side of BEC; quality assurance, production and keeping our machinery running as it should be. I think our wealth of experience and flexible approach makes us different from our competitors, its why customers come to us. Working with customers and seeing their ideas come to life has got to be the best bit though. Outside of work hours you’ll find me on the golf course!

I manage the busy BEC toolroom, tool design and quoting new work that comes in. What makes BEC different? Our ability to produce full production tooling in prototype tooling lead times using all our in-house facilities. The diversity of work and constant challenges keeps things interesting. In my spare time I enjoy motorcycle trials, Enduro riding with my son and mountain biking through the New Forest.

I oversee the marketing, financial and business administration at BEC. I’m lucky to have such a varied role working across advertising, events, PR, our website, and everything in between. A big part of my job involves working with each department and our customers on different projects, there’s never a dull day! In my personal life I like to travel, go swimming at some of our lovely local beaches, or experiment with my pizza oven.

I started out my career as an aerospace engineer and welder many years ago. Since moving into production and quality management around 35 years ago, I’ve gained great experience in different industries on both the shopfloor, quality administration and auditing. I keep BEC Group’s quality management in line with all the latest requirements- no paperwork is too much for me!
I’m also a keen traveller and have racked up over twenty visits to the beautiful Greek island Crete.

HISTORY of bec
ESTABLISHED IN 1978
BEC was initially started as a press tooling engineer company in the 1970’s, the increasing popularity of injection plastics inspired our founder, Geoff Elvy, to instead offer clients an end-to-end tooling and manufacturing solution.
Moving into producing filters for domestic appliances in 1982, this quickly expanded into further domestic appliances.
BEC now manufactures bespoke filters for marine, automotive, transport and beverage companies across the globe.
Clients from a diverse range of sectors have been coming back to us to manufacture their plastic products ever since. Once CAD was introduced; we took the leap in computer aided design, developing a simple formula to directly import CAD in CAM systems before they were invented!
We are fiercely proud of our UK manufacturing reputation with requests coming in from all over the world. It’s a reputation we’re determined to maintain, it keeps us focused on delivering the best in manufacturing every time.
