Who We Are

TidalStream is a partnership dedicated to furthering the responsible development of renewable energy sources. Our people were involved in the building of several of the UK's early windfarms, and in the development of many features of wind turbines in use today, and in the marine and power generation businesses

John Armstrong was Technical Director and subsequently Managing Director of the Wind Energy Group, Taylor Woodrow’s subsidiary that pioneered the UK development of wind turbine technology in the 80’s and early 90’s. He managed several of the large DTI and EU turbine development programmes as well as building wind farms in the UK and California. He also has a background in sub-sea engineering having worked with Lockheed Petroleum Systems in the mid 1970’s.

Michael Todman was Chief Engineer at Rolls-Royce Industrial & Marine power for seven years, involved in both marine propulsion turbines and power generation systems from concept designs to in-service support. He subsequently spent over three years as CTO at Pursuit Dynamics plc – a technology innovation company where he developed novel propulsion and processing systems. He has been instrumental in setting up two R&D facilities, on for Rolls-Royce in Canada, and one for Pursuit Dynamics plc in Hertfordshire, UK. He is a Chartered Engineer, and a Fellow of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers

We are always open to sharing ideas that will further our aim, and in particular to collaboration with industrial partners and engineering companies who would like to develop renewable energy technology.
