After his time at Brighton College, Jeff went on to study Electronic and Electrical Engineering at the University of Birmingham. He is now retired but runs his own company, Jeff Vehicles Ltd, alongside working on projects such as the “Hydroflex” train. He says he has been “heavily involved in designing, building, testing and approval stages of development of the train”, which will reduce the carbon footprint of train travel, alongside battery and electric trains.

Jeff’s work in the decarbonisation of train travel goes hand-in-hand with his interest in electric cars, which he has written about in an e-book illustrated by his daughter, Maddie.
