Bio
Tom Chant MBE
Julie has been instrumental in building the success of Solar Solve - out on the front line driving export sales and now managing all aspects of the business from operations, manufacturing and sales. I haven't found many maritime SMEs that have transitioned to the virtual sales world as well as Solar Solve. They know their business and deliver globally at super-fast speeds.

Having known Julie for most of my working life I feel well qualified to say that she is a one of a kind. Extremely professional, conscientious and very focused on any job in hand, but moreover, warm and personable - a pleasure to both do business with and to know personally.
