Tony was formerly a member of the Royce Leadership Team, serving as Chief Technology Officer until 2025.
Tony started his career in 1990 at Rolls-Royce Submarines in the defence nuclear sector, where he developed an interest in materials science and engineering, particularly in environmental degradation and integrity of structural alloys. He’s held technical and managerial roles at Serco (now Jacobs), in addition to numerous technical leadership roles across Rolls-Royce within the defence, nuclear and aerospace sectors.
Tony obtained his PhD at The University of Birmingham in 2008 through studying the transition from localised corrosion to environmentally assisted cracking in steam turbine disc steels for the power generation industry as part of an Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC)/Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) industry funded programme in conjunction with The National Physical Laboratory (NPL).
He previously Chaired a sub-committee on Engine Impacts and Materials for SAE International, and was Chair of the European Cooperative Group on Corrosion Monitoring of Nuclear Materials. He’s currently a member of several international groups including Environmental Degradation of Materials in Nuclear Power Systems – Water Reactors, and the International Cooperative Group on Environmentally Assisted Cracking. He’s also a Fellow of the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining (IOM3), a member of IOM3’s Surface Engineering Group and Chair of the Corrosion Sub-Group.
