Adrian Wells

I have a range of experience based on my time working for a family contracting and manufacturing business. This includes design, fabrication, mechanics, groundworks, construction, and engineering in security, sports, and recreational play sectors.

I’ve always been passionate about creating machinery and devices that help make tasks more efficient, ultimately, producing a better-quality product or service for the customer.

My current role as Research & Development Director sees that I arrange fire testing programmes, from design to installation, and the construction of test rigs. I produce CAD drawings for test design and for details to support the technical and sales teams. I’m also involved in long-term projects for new products and concepts, helping to solve problems faced by the market.

The challenge lies in meeting all needs and testing every application available on the market, as there is always something additional that people want tested. However, these can actually be viewed as opportunities for Quelfire.

My favourite thing about working at Quelfire is the atmosphere and the team's effort to get things done. Everyone works together to deliver great results; it’s rewarding to be part of a winning team. I especially enjoy working to create tested Quelfire solutions from real-life, on-site challenges.

Outside of work, I like to spend time outdoors in all weather, whether gardening or working on construction or landscaping projects. In particularly bad weather, you’ll find me in my garage or workshop, maintaining or repairing my plant and equipment. I especially enjoy spending time with my wife and two children, exploring Wales and the Lake District.
