Stewart Fox

Stewart Fox is one of the owners and founders of Diesel Electric Power and is regarded as one of Ireland's leading specialists in generator solutions. In a partnership with Martin Brennan, whom he'd worked alongside throughout his career, Stewart identified a gap in the market's offerings. Diesel Electric Power was established to provide innovative power solutions to that previously unfulfilled niche.

Stewart has been working in the power generation industry for over 25 years.  He started his career in 1986, when he was hired to work with a supplier for a new industrial power generation company in Dublin.  A rapid learner and a natural leader, Stewart quickly gained the respect of his colleagues and superiors as the company developed and within a short time, he was promoted to a management position.  As a manager, he oversaw the development and growth of the suppliers' service department and went on to oversee the successful establishment of two new service divisions in Cork and in Northern Ireland.  He also expanded the company's offerings to include a generator hire division, growing the stock of generators to more than 120, with models ranging from 10 KVA up to 1500 KVA. 

Over the course of his career, Stewart Fox has worked in virtually every niche of the power generation industry, providing him with tremendous insight into what it takes to run a successful company.  His work has also taken him overseas on numerous occasions, as he's a much-sought-after consultant and engineer who provides effective oversight during the installation and commissioning process for large generator projects. He has traveled to destinations throughout Europe, in addition to Libya and Iraq.

One of Stewart's most significant accomplishments occurred in Iraq in 2005 when coalition forces launched a global search for suppliers who could provide generators to supplement and support the ailing Iraqi power grid infrastructure.  Stewart traveled to Iraq for several weeks on numerous occasions to commission the installation operation. The company supplied a total of 20 MW containerised generators, 2 MVA diesel-powered generators as well as ancillary equipment to complete the commission. 

Stewart lives in Co. Meath with his wife and children.  In his spare time, he enjoys going to league matches, traveling and relaxing with his family.
