Windracers appoints Mark Farrell as Defence Sales Director
Farrell has more than 20 years of experience in defence and unmanned aerial system (UAS) sales.
Windracers, the UK-based drone manufacturer, has appointed Mark Farrell as Defence Sales Director to lead its engagement with defence organisations in the UK and globally. Farrell will be responsible for supporting Windracers’ strategy to deliver its ULTRA heavy-lift drone to military partners.
Farrell has more than 20 years of experience in defence and unmanned aerial system (UAS) sales. He most recently served as Director at Quantum Drones and previously as Vice President of Defence and Security and UK Managing Director at Nordic Unmanned.
Prior to that, he worked at Lockheed Martin in roles spanning programme management, subcontract leadership, systems engineering, and international business development.
Commenting on his appointment, Farrell said, “Windracers engineers, manufactures and operates Windracers ULTRA, which is unique in the UAS market – a long-distance heavy-lift UAS that flies autonomously to deliver missions and, most importantly, has proven itself in real operations in Ukraine.
“I am excited to help grow our defence partnerships, ensuring delivery to customers and building upon the foundation already in place.”
The appointment is part of Windracers’ plan to expand its defence presence while continuing to work in humanitarian aid, research and civil air cargo sectors.
