Envair Technology has established a strong reputation for engineering excellence, supporting customers across the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, healthcare and laboratory sectors with critical equipment and services.

A Leadership Appointment for the Next Phase of Growth

As Envair continues to build on its success, the appointment of an experienced Chair marks an important step in strengthening the Board and supporting the business through its next phase of development.

The role required an individual with the ability to provide clear strategic oversight, strong governance and a collaborative approach to working with management teams.

An Experienced Chair with a Strong Track Record

Colin Stirling brings significant experience as a non-executive Chair and investor across a range of UK mid-market businesses.

His career includes senior roles in private equity with Bridgepoint and Spirit Capital Partners, followed by a portfolio of Chair and non-executive director positions across engineering, manufacturing and services organisations.

He is known for his ability to:

Support management teams in delivering their strategic objectives
Foster high-performing, well-governed boards
Bring a balanced, collegiate approach to leadership and challenge

Colin’s hands-on but non-executive style enables him to act as a trusted advisor while maintaining appropriate independence.

Supporting Strong Foundations

Envair’s combination of technical expertise, manufacturing capability and customer focus provides a solid platform for continued growth. The business’s commitment to quality, innovation and service has positioned it as a trusted partner within its markets.

Colin’s appointment will further strengthen these foundations, ensuring the Board is well equipped to support the leadership team and the company’s long-term ambitions.

Brightbridge’s Role
