Technical Director:

John Gordon (AMICE)

Age 55

John was educated at Liverpool College. He then pursued a career in Civil Engineering and is a Member of the Institute of Chartered Engineers. His Civil Engineering career led him to New Zealand, where having studied syzmic effect, he specialised in "In Soil Structures".

At the termination of his contract, John decide to stay in New Zealand to try to make a business out of his diving hobby - the design and manufacture of wet suits.Over the next 15 years, he created an international business, employing 130 personnel around the Pacific Rim, which had a turnover of NZ D 14 million.

In 1986, development capital was accepted from Charter Corporation of USA. Subsequent accelerated expansion was brought to an abrupt halt by the financial collapse of the backer.

The Company, Neptune Oceanics, was sold off to another NZ company and John returned to the UK. Here, he took up a role with Marine Survival Systems Limited and helped develop a new state of the art range of abandonment suits and lifejackets.

This eventually, indirectly, led to his current role at Gorix Limited.
