Founder of AddParts Ltd, the Sheffield-based company keeping regulated pharmaceutical manufacturers in continuous production. AddParts gives manufacturers a digital record of their mechanical spare parts - particularly those on long lead times or no longer available - and reproduces them on demand in a highly controlled way to meet regulatory requirements. Operating from the Advanced Manufacturing Park, the company works with some of the world's largest pharmaceutical manufacturers. In January 2026 AddParts secured six-figure pre-seed backing from SFC Capital, and it was shortlisted in the Manufacturing Start-Up category at the Made in Sheffield Awards.
