Meet the team
Ian Foley
An engineer by profession, Ian Foley moved to Norfolk in 1988 to work with Lotus Engineering. By 1991, he joined the Lotus Formula 1 Team and became Head of Research & Development, where he led the development of their pioneering Active Suspension system.
Following his time at Lotus, Ian founded Equipmake as a platform for his engineering consultancy. In 2007, he anticipated the shift to electrification and developed an electric hybrid system based on carbon fibre flywheel technology. This led to the formation of Automotive Hybrid Power, later renamed Williams Hybrid Power (WHP), with Ian as CEO. Under his leadership, WHP commercialised the technology for energy storage in buses. After its success, the business was acquired by GKN Automotive, and Ian returned to Equipmake to focus on electric vehicle technology development.
