Alex Philo joined Glenfield Invicta in 2011 and has been an integral part of the team that has significantly grown the business.

Starting as an Internal Sales Engineer, Alex progressed to external sales roles, first regionally and then nationally. Prior to his recent promotion, Alex was Penstock Product Manager for six years. During his tenure, Alex built on Glenfield Invicta’s legacy of penstock design and installation by diversifying the customer base as well as servicing existing water sector clients. Thanks to Alex, and Glenfield Invicta’s engineering and installation teams, Glenfield Invicta is recognised as the UK market leader in penstocks.

Paul Boyden is Glenfield Invicta’s Managing Director:

‘This is a challenging and exciting role. I have tasked Alex with the successful delivery of our ever-growing range of site services, including our new AirCare air valve servicing programme.

As a qualified aeronautical engineer, Alex brings a unique and valued perspective to his work; aeronautics is a field that demands precision, innovation, and rigorous problem-solving. I know Alex will apply these skills in his new position to ensure we continue to meet the demanding expectations of our clients.

I am really looking forward to working closely Alex in the years to come.’

Glenfield Invicta is committed to investing in the growth and development of its people, providing them with opportunities to advance and realise their full potential. Alex’s career progression is a testament to this commitment.

Alex has hit the ground running:

‘I am enjoying the challenge of developing and enhancing the delivery of our site service offerings, building upon the successes and growth we have already achieved. The future outlook is exciting with several multi-million pound site service contracts and framework agreements to deliver in AMP8 and beyond.

I am particularly focussed on our new AirCare we have developed to support water companies service and maintain their air valve assets.’
