Ajuno appoints industry leader to accelerate drone adoption

Bristol-headquartered Ajuno has appointed former MakeUK chief executive Gilbert Toppin as chairman and non-executive director to support the UK’s critical national infrastructure (CNI) transformation through robotics.

A chartered civil engineer and former Deloitte board member, Gilbert brings decades of leadership in technology, innovation, and M&A. 

He will work with Ajuno’s founders and senior team to focus on the ROI of drone adoption, data integration and the financial impact of robotics on UK industry.

Gilbert said: “The team at Ajuno is a privilege to work alongside, as our client CNI organisations evolve through robotics and AI. 

“It’s an exciting time: drone adoption does not work on its own, wider systems and data impact needs to be addressed to get real-world business results. 

“Ultimately Ajuno realises this future with automated infrastructure, a redefined emergency response, and robotic regeneration.”

Gilbert’s appointment marks a major step in Ajuno’s mission to harness drones for economic growth and modernise infrastructure across the UK.
