About James Bradley
James Bradley is a mechanical engineer and co-founder of Facet Amtech, a University of Newcastle spinout developing a catalyst that makes ammonia from air and water without a separate hydrogen production step. He has also been entrepreneur-in-residence at I2N, the university's startup hub.
He previously co-founded Diffuse Energy with Joss Kesby and Sam Evans, developing compact, diffuser-augmented small wind turbines for off-grid and remote power; the founders closed the business in 2024 after supply chain problems. He returned to engineering as a mature-age student after 15 years in retail management, completed a part-time PhD in thermal storage technology, and worked as a senior mechanical engineer at the University of Newcastle.
He featured alongside Joss Kesby in a Diffuse Energy profile on Welcome to Day One with Adam Spencer in 2019.
