Dr Kevin Stamp |
- Kevin Stamp joined the Merchant Navy
in 1978, at 16, to complete an intensive and extensive 4-Year
Marine Engineering Apprenticeship - learning
the myriad and varied skills necessary for deep-sea sailing.
- After 5 years he left to complete his BSc(with
Honours) Degree in Mechanical Engineering
with specialisms in Mechanics of Machines and Mechanics
of Materials. This is where he first met the originators
of Camlinks and Motion Software: Dr George Rooney
and Professor John Rees Jones. His final year project investigated
"Thermal Necrosis and Mechanical Damage when inserting
External Fixation Pins to Femur".
- Continuing his education, he completed a PhD
in the Design of High Speed Packaging Machinery
as part of the Mechanisms and Machines Group,
headed by Professor John Rees Jones. This was supported
by the Specially Promoted Program for the Research into
High Speed Machinery.
- With this, he joined Unilever as a
Trainee Manager as a foundation member of the Machines
Systems Team of the Advanced Manufacturing
and Technology Group. His responsibility was
to improve already installed packaging equipment by retrofitting
with appropriate technology to the business region. He traveled
extensively, with a significant extended stay in India as
a technology transfer manager at the Engineering Manufacturing
Unit, Kolharpur.
- After, two years he was invited to join Packaging
Design and Machinery Technology Center, Owings Mills, MD,
USA, as an expat. While there, he
was responsible for many machine design improvements by
applying that special blend of improved motion design, new
conceptual designs and new technology. When combined with
the sites' continuous improvement initiatives, massive packing
line throughput increases were delivered.
- Returning to the UK, he took the opportunity, with Adam
Peacock, of a Unilever Ventures initiative.
This invited anyone with a business idea, that wasn't part
of Unilever's core strategic objectives, to submit a business
plan with a view to eventually leaving Unilever to drive
the business. Their proposal was judged to merit top ranking
out of approximately 25 proposals, and was selected. Take
a look at the machine that was invented, designed, built,
commissioned and installed in India - link here when page

- Taking the opportunity to leave Unilever, he started with
Adam Peacock, a Machine Design Consultancy, PSMotion - And
here he is today!
- An active participant of the Industrial Advisory Board
of King's College London
