For many years, Dr Chris Champion has been the company’s medical officer and his hobby is motor sport. Helipebs Controls operates in the advanced engineering sector and was recently able to assist Dr Champion with a small modification to a component for his car, as a result of which Chris has written a few words about his hobby.

Helipebs Controls is pleased to announce the appointment of Gareth Edwards to the internal sales team. Gareth comments “having joined Helipebs, I am pleased by the hard working mentality within the company and the future that this company holds for me. I am also proud to become a member of the sales team and look forward to expanding my role within this business; I am 30 years old and have recently returned to the UK after residing in the Netherlands for the past 5years. Before moving abroad, I was employed in an engineering sales and design department within an industrial environment. Currently living in Gloucester, I am looking for my first apartment in Cheltenham. I have a strong passion for Rugby, hiking and visiting new places”.
