Introducing Stuart Clift, Our Operations and Governance Lead

We would like to introduce you to someone who plays an important role in the team as we work our way towards ISO accreditation, our Operations and Governance Lead, Stuart Clift.

Stuart brings a wealth of senior leadership experience to SolaaS, built over a 25-year career with Jaguar Land Rover. Starting out as a technical trainer, Stuart travelled the world teaching technicians how to diagnose and repair Jaguar vehicles, before progressing through the customer service organisation to become Global Customer Service Director.

Today at SolaaS, Stuart plays a pivotal role behind the scenes, providing strategic oversight, governance, and operational support across the business. He is currently leading SolaaS through the ISO 27001 accreditation process, a major milestone in strengthening our information security and compliance framework.

With a highly analytical, data-driven mindset, Stuart supports the team through project oversight, KPI tracking, and structured weekly performance reviews, ensuring insight leads to action. He also acts as a trusted sounding board across the business, offering practical management consultancy, asking the right (sometimes difficult) questions, and helping teams arrive at clear, workable solutions.

Known for his calm approach and strong listening skills, Stuart’s focus is on nurturing people, improving processes, and helping SolaaS grow in a sustainable, well-governed way.

Outside of work, Stuart is a volunteer Patient Partner at UHCW, as he explains, “I represent the ‘voice of the patient and or care’ at many meetings and events within the hospital trust. This role provides much personal satisfaction, as I can see the effects of change either planned or in real time for the benefit of patients and or the hospital Trust.’

Stuart is a committed family man. When the weather behaves, you’ll find him enjoying countryside walks with his family or on the golf course – he is a self-confessed fair-weather golfer.
