Matthew Waterhouse (1964)

In his own words:

I left WHS in 1964, going to King Edwards.  I studied Mechanical Engineering at Nottingham while undertaking a thin sandwich course with Rolls-Royce Ltd initially in Derby then Crewe and the Motor Car Division.

I spent more than 30 years with RR/Rolls-Royce Motor Cars at Crewe.  I left in 2001 and freelanced in automotive engineering around the world.  I retired from paid employment in 2016 after working for a contract automotive engineering company in Coventry.  For a lot of my career I was involved in “specials” or very limited production runs.

I now volunteer with the IMechE interviewing applicants and reviewing the results of other interviews.  I also “play” with old/classic cars in various forms and own one myself.
