High-tech robotic insulation company Q-Bot has appointed Victor Vadaneaux as executive chair and Malcolm Gloat has its second investment director.
The two appointments will help Q-Bot scale its robotics-as-a-service sales in the UK and expand its digital retrofit service as the business sets to launch in the US and scale in the EU through strategic partnerships.
Victor has worked within B2B services, the engineering industry and the healthcare sector, and has extensive business and private equity experience of the UK, EU and US markets, including several successful exits.
Malcolm will work alongside Dr Ilian Iliev, the company’s existing investment director. Malcolm has more than 25 years of experience as a chair, NED, CFO, and CEO in the public and private markets.
Dr Ilian Iliev commented: “Victor and Malcolm are joining us at an exciting point of Q-Bot’s journey and bring strong experience in scale-ups and growth from relevant sectors. We have been an early backer of Q-Bot’s robotics and AI-driven insulation retrofit solution.
“Q-Bot is at the intersection of multiple megatrends, including growing automation and digitisation of the construction industry, the imperative to decarbonise existing housing stock, and the deployment of robotics and AI as synergistic tools fostering upskilling and employment in the construction services sector.”
