Sedgefield, UK – Graphene Composites (GC), a world leader in nanomaterials and advanced materials engineering, announces the appointment of Lord John Eatwell as Chair.

Lord Eatwell brings extensive experience in government, finance, and entrepreneurship to GC as the company enters an accelerated growth phase. As a member of the Lords Select Committee on Financial Services Regulation and former President of Queens' College, Cambridge, he provides strategic guidance and governance oversight as GC scales its operations and commercialises its breakthrough defence, health and thermal management technologies.

Strategic growth priorities for GC include GC Shield™ blast and ballistic protection for the defence industry and GC Thermo-Flo™ thermal management systems that will substantially reduce energy consumption. Designed for use in AI data centre cooling systems, as well as other market applications, GC Thermo-Flo is preparing proof-of-concept projects within data centre environments.

"Lord John Eatwell brings a wealth of experience and most importantly, he embodies our core values of Kindness and Integrity," said Sandy Chen, CEO of Graphene Composites.

John's strategic vision will be invaluable as we scale to meet growing demand for our applications."

GC’s advanced nano-materials engineering results in products that are not incremental developments. They are products that “change the weather”. I believe that the company is about to enjoy a significant surge in overall performance. Fasten your seat-belts!”
