  Phil McDonnell

  Phil has worked in Engineering in the North East of England since 1992, predominantly in Laser & Waterjet cutting.  In 2005 he started his own Laser and Waterjet cutting company and for the next 12 years like all small companies, he was involved in many roles.

  He has a wealth of experience in the industry working with companies from many sectors and thoroughly enjoys engineering as no one day is the same as the next. One of the main things he loves about engineering is that unlike in many sectors you actually get to see and touch the end product after all the hard work.  Of course, meeting and working with all of the fantastic people in the industry helps keep a smile on his face.

  Away from the office, he has 4 wonderful children; Erin, Lucy, Ruby and Millie who all help their dad spend his free time. He enjoys DIY, movies and socialising and when he eventually gets some spare time, Phil likes to get away for adventure days out, where he has done things ranging from quad biking and clay pigeon shooting to tank driving and flying a plane.
