Author – Mike Low

Author Mike Low is an experienced Production Leader, Quality Trainer, Business Improvement Leader and Lead Auditor; he has recently retired from Rolls-Royce plc, having spent a working lifetime involved in manufacturing and quality improvement. He has experience in many different sectors of the Rolls-Royce empire, including Defence Aerospace, Civil Aerospace, and in the Marine and Nuclear sectors. Mike Low has a Master’s degree in The Management of Quality Excellence from Leicester University and a Batchelor’s degree in English Literature and Humanities from the Open University.

Much of Mike Low’s experience has been gained in travelling the world visiting the manufacturing and service providing facilities of many hundreds of Rolls-Royce suppliers. Countries visited include Mexico, USA, Canada, China, Germany, Italy, France and Holland, in addition to all over the UK and Ireland. It is from the experience gained during these visits that the idea for The Bleedin’ Obvious Way To Improve Quality In Your Business was born. Mike Low is married to the lovely Deb and lives in Somerset.

The idea for Saviour of the Free World came from Mike’s contact with many at Rolls-Royce and elsewhere who had experience of the Merlin engine, and a strongly-held belief that the overwhelming contribution the Merlin made to the Allies success in WWII has never been fully documented. Saviour of the Free World goes a long way towards putting the Merlin engine at the forefront of the story of the success of the Allies and the triumph over the dark tyranny of Nazism.
