Martyn leads the R&D and innovation initiatives at ABM, including investigating eco-friendly surface treatments that are corrosion resistant to battery electrolyte. Martyn has a PhD in Inorganic and Materials Chemistry from University of Nottingham and has expertise in solid-state chemistry from previous roles at Morgan Advanced Materials. In addition, Martyn sits on the Faraday Institution Expert Panel and has established strong links with The University of Manchester, helping ABM to be awarded the Deans Award focusing on surface treatments for Li-ion pouch cell tabs.

Leping leads advanced R&D initiatives focused on pushing the boundaries of energy storage and sustainable manufacturing. Holding a PhD in Composite Materials from The University of Manchester, he leverages high-resolution X-ray CT and SEM to evaluate material defects and failure mechanisms, ensuring mechanical integrity through rigorous static and fatigue testing. Leping has a proven track record of delivering complex R&D projects across the Battery, Aerospace, Construction, and Hydrogen Storage sectors.

Henry has developed many of ABMs internal testing processes and procedures specifically around how surface treatments impact post electrolyte adhesion in pouch cell tabs. These same principles and processes will be applied to developing bespoke and novel material solutions. Henry is fluent in Mandarin and Cantonese, has an MSc in Accreditation Chemistry from The Chinese University of Hong Kong and has experience working on R&D projects in Nano and Advanced materials.

Kieren founded ABM alongside Graham and Ryan to fulfil an unmet need in the pouch cell supply chain for localised and high-performance cell tabs. Kieren has led Avocet Group for the last 5 years, working with Li-ion cell manufacturers to establish a reputation within the industry as the go-to team for electrode foils. Having recently lectured at University of Warwick on cell materials Kieren is fast becoming an expert in the field. Kieren is also Director of Avocet Steel Strip Ltd who are the UK’s largest distributor of foils for new battery technologies.

Andrew Cuthbert Bsc MBA has developed $billions in revenues managing special projects and their life cycles on behalf of some of the world’s most successful companies. Early in his career Andrew developed a specialism in Quality Management. Andrew developed the RIQAS and ACUSERA 24/7 systems found today in approx. 30% of the worlds laboratories some 65,000 locations across in excess of 100 countries. Andrew’s role is to identify key milestones and ensure you have the confidence to invest appropriately in your future project.
