The Team at Logiq Systems
Who we are today
Logiq Systems was founded in 2020 by Aran Bates and Ben Lindley, two friends supported by expert advisors and a strong investor consortium. We are both dads with young families.
Our team has grown since 2020. In 2022, we welcomed See Wah Cheng, our Head of Product, and a year later, Stuart Blackburn as our Technical Operations Manager and Adam Ayre-Storie as our Digital Tech Lead. Additionally, we are supported by expert advisors and a strong investor consortium.
As a team, our passion and mission-driven purpose pushes us to be the force of change in this industry. Not just in environmental sustainability but also in creating a supportive company flexible to the realities of modern life, one with a diverse, equal, and respectful workforce. Now, as a venture-backed business, we believe we are at the start of a huge market shift away from burning diesel and gas, towards major uptake of clean fuels.
The team we are building
The team we want to build is one where we are:
- Passionate about making a difference. We must believe in what we can achieve, because we are fighting to change a conservative market.
- Comfortable with risk and ambiguity. We must be flexible as the market is early and developing. You will be shaping a new offering in the hydrogen industry right from the start!
- Extremely self-motivated with a strong work ethic. We work because we love what we do!
- Fun! We need to enjoy what we do, while still being proud about the quality of our work.
- Humble, authentic, and honest. We give credit where credit is due. We can respect, support and celebrate others for the value they bring.
- Comfortable being challenged. We believe in creating an environment where we feel comfortable and safe enough for ideas to be challenged in a constructive manner.
- Curious. Curiosity drives improvement and innovation. Always ask why.

Aran Bates
Aran’s experience sits at the intersection of technical development, business, and strategy gained through 8 years of technology and innovation consulting, and start-up experience. Prior to Logiq Systems he spent two and a half years evaluating and studying the applicability of hydrogen on our energy systems, now through the work being done at Logiq Systems we are testing and proving that hydrogen is an answer.
Previously Aran has founded his own digital start-up (growing it into an operating business, bootstrapped, within a year); launched new ventures inside of existing multinational businesses (e.g. designed and lead all aspects of the physical product and manufacturing for Holland and Barret’s Healthbox offering, taking it from pure paper idea to live product in market MVP in 3 months); and advised many of the world’s largest corporates on innovation, including acting as the direct advisor and coach to the global Head of Innovation for Rolls Royce Aerospace.
