Over the course of his 20-year RAF career, Matt has accumulated over 130 operational missions, been awarded a Queens Commendation for Valuable Service (QCVS) and Commanded the Royal Air Force Operational Training Simulation Facility.  Along with a Cranfield MBA, Matt has more than sufficient experience to manage the SolarFrame Ltd manufacturing plant.
