Glyn Meek
Managing Director
Glyn is a tireless seeker of perfection, occasional purveyor of wisdom, with a touch of mellow smoothness. He is an agent of change who basically specialises in convincing people to give a shit. Don’t let his clean lines and penchant for a full bodied (French) red fool you, he is an aggressive problem solver dedicated to producing results and loves translating complex situations into game changing solutions.
Glyn is a seasoned professional, a passionate leader with a proven track record and has worn every hat on the rack and leapt tall buildings in a single bound.
Throughout his career he’s had the pleasure to work with a multitude of startups, small and large scale organisations throughout the UK making the magic happen.
When Glyn is not getting on everyone’s nerves for showing up for work on time every day (so annoying), he can be found wandering aimlessly around his local golf course, upsetting the neighbours by playing (rock) guitar and trying to teach life skills to his 15-year old daughter, who you guessed it, doesn’t listen to Dad.
Glyn holds a Masters from Coventry University together with a degree in giving the milk out and cleaning the blackboard.
Caroline Cuddy
Production Manager
After my Sports Engineering Degree at Loughborough University I started working for Tube Bend Form Limited as Project Design Engineer from July 2016.
I moved to the role of Deputy Production and Development Manager in December 2017 which was a really good challenge and helped me learn all the relevant skills needed to progress to the Production Manager role in Feb 2019.
I enjoy my role and work hard to ensure the Customers are happy and my shop floor employees are producing good, solid products. I have a ‘never give up’ attitude which makes me determined in the workplace and always endeavour to do my absolute best. In my spare time I enjoy socialising and meeting up with friends.
