A UK manufacturer of the world’s most power-dense electric motors and inverters
Helix (a trading name of Integral Powertrain Ltd), the UK manufacturer of the world’s most power-dense electric motors and inverters, has appointed Graham Belgum as CEO to lead the business as it enters the next phase of its global expansion.
Belgum is a chartered engineer and brings an extraordinary wealth of experience to Helix, with a particular focus on bringing new electric vehicles to market.
He joins the company after three years at Fortescue Zero (formerly Williams Advanced Engineering), where he served as General Manager for Heavy Industry, responsible for the creation of a new capability to develop and industrialise modular battery power systems for off-road applications, including mining.
Prior to this, Belgum was President and then CEO of Optare, where he led their electrification program and laid the foundation for its rebrand to Switch Mobility. Preceding this, he served in senior leadership roles at Condor Ferries and First Group UK. Before entering the private sector, Belgum served in the British Army, where he was overall engineering manager for the Challenger Main Battle Tank fleet.
Outgoing CEO and company co-founder, Darren Cairns, is stepping down 27 years after co-founding the business. He will remain an active part of Helix, working in an advisory role alongside Belgum.
