Christopher Kay

Christopher's PhD and post-doctoral research at the University of Warwick generated the intellectual property on which Interface Polymers Ltd is based. Both Christopher and his academic supervisor Professor Peter Scott, were quick to see the commercial potential of the breakthrough, and Christopher soon saw a future for himself as an entrepreneur.

Working with the ICURe programme (Innovation to Commercialisation of University Research) via Innovate UK, £500,000 of grant funding was won that enabled Chris to start the process of spinning out Interface Polymers Ltd.

Along with his invaluable scientific expertise, Chris brings his wonderfully infectious enthusiasm, entrepreneurial passion and a relentless ambition to turn his discovery into a huge commercial success.
