Lee Wilson - Our Team Through Time

Lee Wilson - Our Team Through Time
As we celebrate 40 years of SSTL, we're reflecting on the remarkable journeys of both our company and our people.

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.
