Britain's great strength is its innovative, design and engineering natural ability and we're not using it.

Engineering undergraduates should not be charged fees. They should receive grants, not student loans, and the government will get the money back long-term from increased exports.

I learned that the moment you want to slow down is the moment you should accelerate.

Far too few designers put any thought into usability, ending up with a great product that's completely inaccessible.

Failure is so much more interesting because you learn from it. That's what we should be teaching children at school, that being successful the first time, there's nothing in it. There's no interest, you learn nothing actually.

Business is constantly changing, constantly evolving.

I'm not into politics but I am committed to a cause: ensuring design technology and engineering stays on the U.K. curriculum, alongside science and maths - grounding abstract theory, merging the practical with the academic.
