Chief executive Jason Miles said: "We are delighted to have appointed Philip as COO after a rigorous recruitment process during which we met a range of highly qualified candidates. Philip joins Quadrise at the start of an exciting year for the company. He will be a key member of our leadership team as we progress our projects towards commercialisation."
