Luke joined C-Quip in 2012 as a composites engineer. He has moved through the ranks and now leads our design department. His personality of high energy coupled with attention to detail, has helped define how the design department operates today. Much of Luke’s time is spent leading and grooming the design team through customer concepts and product development campaigns. Luke is currently working on applying an agile approach to our product development cycle, making sure we focus on customer requirements whilst creating an efficient lean process to follow.
Luke’s wide variety of engineering backgrounds helps him bring a different approach to design challenges. He has successfully managed the composite and suspension design for a Guinness World Record holding and winning vehicle for the University of New South Wales. He has also been involved with the design, building, and commissioning of unmanned solar-diesel generators in Antarctica. These experiences have equipped him with the skills to provide C-Quip’s customers with reliable, cutting-edge, winning designs.
Luke loves the outdoors and during his spare time is a reserve soldier in the Royal NZ Engineers as a Lance Corporal. He also loves sailing and taking his trailer sailer on adventures up through the Bay of Islands in northern New Zealand. As more and more superyachts are coming to New Zealand, there is a good chance he will sail past you when you visit.
