DAVID WRIGHT: STEERING TITANVOLT TOWARDS A SAFER AND SMARTER ENERGY FUTURE
New Titanvolt chairman David Wright is bringing clear-eyed vision and steady leadership to one of the UK's most exciting battery technology companies. In a first interview, he's been talking about guiding the board and shaping Titanvolt's strategic direction as it scales up its UK operation.
A chairman with purpose
With his deep commitment to governance, sustainability and innovation, David sees his role as more than ceremonial. “I steward the board,” he explained, “setting the tone and ensuring decisions align with our articles and shareholder intent.
“In a private company like Titanvolt, this means maintaining capital capability, credibility and operational balance. It means ensuring that every step, from partner recruitment to performance evidence, is executed with precision.”
A vision grounded in impact
At the heart of David’s aspirations is a desire to prove the quality and reliability of Titanvolt’s battery cells through rigorous third-party testing. “People are always suspicious of batteries,” he said. “We want to show (repeatedly if necessary) that our cells are safe, high-performing and abuse-tolerant.”
Titanvolt’s focus is on defined market niches, where safety and durability are paramount – industrial fleets, critical infrastructure and harsh environments. The company’s lithium titanium oxide (LTO) cells offer rapid cycling and long-life resilience in extreme conditions, making them ideal for applications where downtime is costly and safety is non-negotiable.
Unlocking opportunity through energy storage
David is passionate about the role Titanvolt can play in the built environment. He added: “Energy storage systems are absolutely critical. Whether it’s a three-bedroom house or a block of flats, people need access to electricity at the lowest possible cost.”
With energy prices soaring, Titanvolt’s safe, efficient and recyclable batteries offer a compelling solution for residential and commercial energy storage.
Partnerships as a growth engine
Titanvolt’s strategy hinges on collaboration. “We make the small Lego bricks better than anyone else,” said David, referring to the company’s battery cells. “But we need partners to build the systems, integrate them and bring them to market.” From mobility vehicles to electric buses and energy infrastructure, the applications are vast and Titanvolt is actively seeking partners to scale its impact.
Made in the UK, for the UK
A key pillar of David’s vision is domestic manufacturing. “It’s absolutely essential that we start manufacturing here in the UK,” he said, referencing Titanvolt’s ambitions to build a fully UK-based supply chain to ensure transparency, resilience and sustainability. “We want to know where every single component comes from, just like a butcher who knows the animal behind the steak.”
This commitment is not just about national pride; it’s about control, safety and long-term viability. David added: “There won’t be any ‘Made in…’ other than the UK. That’s the aim as we work towards full UK production.”
Sustainability as a business imperative
For David, sustainability isn’t a buzzword, it’s a business necessity. “We must use resources wisely and ensure that what we do benefits communities.” Titanvolt’s batteries are non-flammable, 95% recyclable and designed for long-term use. He added: “It makes sound business sense. We’re open about what we do, why we do it and how we do it.”
A message to investors: The future is now
David’s message to investors is clear and confident: “We are not a start-up. We have a product. It exists. We are selling it today and the batteries are in use in the UK.”
Insisting that clean, safe battery technology is the future, David is inviting investors to bring their scrutiny. “Ask the hard questions,” he said. “We’ll show you the data that backs up the compelling case for investment in Titanvolt.”
Conclusion: A rare opportunity
Titanvolt is not just another battery company. Under David Wright’s leadership, it is a mission-driven enterprise with a proven product, a clear path to scale and a commitment to sustainability and transparency. For investors seeking to back a transformative technology with real-world impact, Titanvolt represents a rare and timely opportunity.
