Oxford Flow announces the appointment of Andrew Hodgson as Executive Chair of its Board as the company accelerates its growth trajectory.
Andrew follows David Hill as Executive Chair, after a period of significant progress under David’s leadership. In his new role, Andrew will work closely with the leadership team to shape strategic direction, strengthen operations, and guide Oxford Flow through its next stage of international expansion. With more than 35 years of experience leading engineering, industrial, and utilities businesses and based in the UK, Andrew brings deep expertise in scaling organizations, improving operational performance, and delivering long-term growth.
Neil Poxon, CEO at Oxford Flow comments: “We are extremely grateful to David Hill for his leadership as Executive Chair over the past five years, which has been instrumental in helping Oxford Flow reach this stage. We are now delighted to welcome Andrew into the position. His extensive experience and proven track record in scaling international businesses will be invaluable as we expand our global presence and continue to innovate.”
The company is expanding at a time when energy, industrial process facilities, and utility networks are under increasing pressure to meet growing demand, maintain reliability, and transition to more sustainable operations, including the need for resilient power and cooling solutions, with opportunities arising across Europe, the Middle East, and the USA.
Andrew Hodgson continues: “Oxford Flow has built an impressive foundation with its innovative flow control solutions and there is a real opportunity to expand its impact internationally. I look forward to working with the Board and leadership team to support strategic growth, strengthen global operations, and deliver technologies that solve real-world challenges for its increasing customer base and the environment.”
The appointment strengthens the Oxford Flow Board at a time of continued growth, expanding international demand, and follows significant investment from bp Ventures and Energy Impact Partners (EIP) in late 2024. This strategy reflects the company’s focus on expanding its presence in key strategic markets, following the opening of its new UK headquarters and regional growth in the Middle East in 2025.
