Neil Summers (Managing Director)
Was born in North London and has a MA in Modern Languages from Oxford University and a MBA from Brunel University, in which he specialised in the growth of high technology companies.
His early career involved positions in planning and finance before moving into sales, marketing and business development. Subsequently he became MD of a UK PLC group company and later set up his own management consultancy before setting up Abriox in 2005.

Jason Hanlon (Technical Director)
Grew up in East Anglia before obtaining a 1st Class Honours B.Eng in Digital Systems Engineering from the University of West of England. His experience involves projects as diverse as the Tornado aircraft mid-life update, transputer networks, the development of tape drives for computer backup and embedded software for fire alarm systems.
His primary background is the development of equipment for monitoring, fault-finding and locating underground utilities. In these areas he has co-authored a number of patents. This expertise has provided the basis for the development of Abriox’s product range. He finds car and motorcycle technology fascinating.
