What Piers says:

As an entrepreneur, I enjoy working on projects in all sectors and meeting people at all levels plus getting the chance to understand the details on a wide range of technology topics. I love to travel in my Boxer campervan conversion with my Beagle. I enjoy and have been lucky to be involved with "World's first projects" where the end application will improve the world and push the technology envelope, this is now a kind of addiction. It allows me to focus maximum energy, thought and commitment to support the project to be a success. It makes me proud and gives me a sense of purpose to be part of such groundbreaking projects and an honour to work within such professional engineering communities.

The strategy of the business is to promote and deliver the latest generation high technology electric actuator products and systems, including bespoke and custom designs. Supplying all vertical markets, Olsen has more recently moved into the Aero and Space Sectors with compliant proven motor drive packages and software, Established in 2004 Olsen is now one the largest high-performance electric actuator companies in the UK.
