As Ignitec continues to grow, we’re investing not only in our engineering capability but also in the relationships, communication and support that help our clients turn ambitious ideas into successful products.

We’re delighted to welcome Antonio Duduianu to the team as our new Technical Account Manager.

Antonio joined Ignitec in September 2026 and is already working closely with our clients and engineering teams. His appointment marks another important step in our commitment to providing a responsive, collaborative and consistently high-quality experience from the first conversation through to project delivery.

Connecting technical understanding with client needs

Antonio brings an engineering background, including an MEng from the University of Bath, and a strong interest in bringing people, technology and commercial objectives together. That combination is particularly valuable at Ignitec, where our clients often come to us with complex challenges that demand more than a straightforward technical response.

A successful engineering project starts with understanding the bigger picture. What problem is the client trying to solve? Why does it matter now? What are the constraints around cost, timescale, regulatory requirements and manufacturing? And, ultimately, what does a successful outcome look like?

Antonio’s role is to help develop that shared understanding, working with our engineering specialists to turn early conversations into well-defined requirements, practical proposals and constructive long-term partnerships.

A stronger connection throughout the project journey

As Technical Account Manager, Antonio will support clients across the full relationship, from initial enquiries and discovery meetings through scoping, proposals and ongoing project engagement.

He will work closely with our project managers, engineering teams and technical leads, helping clients stay informed, making sure expectations are clearly understood and ensuring important commercial or delivery questions are addressed early.

For clients, this means a more consistent point of contact, clearer communication around next steps and a stronger link between their business objectives and the engineering work being delivered.

For our engineers, it means greater support in maintaining those relationships while concentrating on the technical challenges in front of them.

Part of Ignitec’s next chapter

Antonio’s arrival comes at an exciting time for the business.

Alongside the recent promotion of Greg Guyll to Engineering Manager and the introduction of our multidisciplinary engineering teams, Apollo and Artemis, we’re strengthening the structure needed to support larger, more complex programmes without losing the personal approach that our clients value.

Greg provides leadership across our engineering function, bringing together the people, resources and technical direction needed to deliver. Antonio complements that focus by helping clients communicate their priorities, understand the proposed approach and stay connected with the team as their projects progress.

The Technical Account Manager role is a key part of that development. It brings additional focus to listening, relationship management and proactive communication, making sure that excellent engineering is matched by a professional, dependable client experience.

Craig Surgey, Managing Director of Ignitec

“Great engineering is at the heart of Ignitec, but the experience our clients have working with us matters just as much. We want every client to feel listened to, understand what happens next and have confidence that we’re looking after both the technical detail and the bigger commercial picture.

“Antonio’s appointment gives us greater capacity to do that consistently as we grow. I’m delighted to welcome him to the business and look forward to seeing the relationships he’ll build with our clients.”
