James Gentles
Retired
James Gentles (73250) joined HP in June 1982, starting as a Manufacturing Engineer, and held various engineering and management positions in Manufacturing, working on Telecommunication Test Equipment to meet the needs of both analogue and digital systems.
After time as a Production Manager he returned to engineering management to spend the latter part of his career managing the smooth transition of new products from R&D designs into manufacturable products.
After a short period as a contractor James left HP (then called Agilent) in August 2010 and was on the Queensferry site for the last working day. He then ran a microbusiness making photographic and camera accessories for the professional camera and film industries until he retired three years ago.
