Samuel Tabor created Tabor Innovations in 2018 to bring together the experience he gained over 10 years of consultancy and R&D.
Samuel's engineering journey began at an early age because of his grandfather Mike, who was a lifelong inventor. They would often watch gliders at the local flying club and build model aeroplanes and boats together.
Embarking on a Master's degree in Aeronautical Engineering was an obvious choice. Over these 5 years Samuel also grew interested in programming, algorithms and autonomy, and sought ways to combine this with aeronautics. During this time he worked part-time as a structural engineer. He won the Paul Schoda prize on graduation.
Samuel then went on to work for 4 years in consultancy, working closely with customers to identify and implement solutions to their particular problems. Many of his customers came from Scotland's renewable energy industry, and often included aerodynamic, structural and control aspects, as well as short timescales and tight budgets.
In search of a new challenge, he went on to join an airborne wind energy company. Here, he quickly became a key figure, leading a team of six engineers to downselect design concepts, analyse performance and control and support detailed design.
In is spare time Samuel continued to work on a number of projects, catching the interest of a number of parties in the UK and the US. Samuel’s passion for customer problem solving led to the formation of Tabor Innovations.
