In 1985, when SSTL was taking its first steps in the space industry, young Lee Wilson (pictured left with his baby sibling) was busy being a big brother. Fast forward through the decades, and Lee now guides SSTL as our Finance Director, having joined us in 2018 after building over a decade of expertise at Airbus, our shareholder. His career trajectory mirrors SSTL’s own evolution—from ambitious beginnings to industry leadership.
"Working for such a well-known company in the space industry, with such a strong heritage, is truly inspiring," Lee reflects. "Every day brings new challenges and opportunities, and I'm proud to be part of a team that's shaping the future of space technology."
It's remarkable to think that while Lee was growing up, SSTL was growing too—from a university spin-out to a world leader in small satellites. Thank you, Lee, for your leadership in our continuing journey.
