Phil Applegarth appointed Director of Supacat Limited
11-12-2019Nick Ames CEO SC Group is delighted to announce the appointment of Phil Applegarth as a Director of Supacat Limited.
“Phil has been with the business since 2009, after completing over 23-years in the Army. Phil has filled a number of roles in his time at Supacat, all of them within the defence vehicles business stream. He has a strong network of colleagues within the Ministry of Defence and in overseas Defence Ministries as well a good relationship with the Tier 1 industry partners within defence.”
Phil is delighted with his new appointment, and shares part of his history with us:
“I joined Supacat in July 2009 as the Support Operations Manager and on promotion to Head of Customer support in 2011, I made some sweeping changes to maximise long-term business opportunities and create a solid foundation to grow the organisation. For the last five-years, I have been responsible for looking after the global Supacat defence business stream within SC Group with the exception of Asia-Pacific.
My team of project managers and I are responsible for delivering all aspects of new programmes and in-service support across the globe in which we operate. This includes Spares, Repairs, Field Service Support, Training, Upgrades and Improvements and Post Design Services to meet the customer’s needs. I will continue to focus on extending the global SF family and developing new capabilities on existing platforms and delivering exciting new programmes.
Prior to joining Supacat, I completed over 23-years in the Army as a proud Para Commando Loggie. Advice was seldom listened to and even after being warned never to volunteer; I always had my hand in the air for anything mad, bad or dangerous! My considerable experience of vehicle based mobility operations enables me to intimately understand and credibly advise the needs of our customers. In my remaining spare time, I am a Reserve RIFLES Officer offering years of mobility and operational experience into specialist mission units within Joint Force Command (JFC).
I am married to Jo who also works at SC Group as the Export Compliance Officer, who patiently stays at home. Jo while at home looks after her horses, chickens, dogs and my sheep and Highland cows, while uncomplainingly waiting for my return!
The team at SC Group Ltd would like to wish Phil every success in his new role.
