LBP would like to congratulate Phil Kennedy, MD of Eschmann Technologies Ltd in Peter Road, for being formally appointed to the West Sussex Economic Growth Board (WSEGB).

The WSEGB has been newly formed by West Sussex County Council, to drive forward economic growth and prosperity in the county. It is a business-led board providing a strategic voice on key issues to inform countywide investment decisions.

Phil’s appointment is a real achievement and is based on his wealth of global medical manufacturing expertise. At the helm of Eschmann, Phil is well established at leading British design and manufacturing of medical, dental and animal health products and services. Eschmann’s has more than a 190 years of continuous innovation experience, producing world leading products like their T20 Operating Table, which is still used in hospitals around the globe. 

Phil is also the Chair of the Association of British HealthTech Industries (ABHI) an organisation who support the HealthTech community to provide products and services that help people live healthier lives, acting as the voice of the industry. 

After many years on Lancing Business Park, Phil’s new appointment provides LBP with a direct route into the WSEGB, to help raise local business issues direct with the strategic decision makers in West Sussex.
