Who Are We?
We’re innovators.
These are the two men who have brought Norag from sketchbook to reality. Through an intense commitment to R&D, their passion is the pursuit of perfection. They have more ideas currently in the works.
Samuel Munn
Founder & MD
Sam is ‘the accelerator’ of the partnership, with a mechanical engineer’s brain that’s constantly inventing new products to solve persistent problems.
He discovered his interest in machinery being brought up on a farm in South East Wales, and after leaving school became a mechanical apprentice with British Steel. After qualification he spent several years in a local foundry, where he created his first invention.
Sam gained a Mechanical Honours Degree, working at various steel forges before setting up Samatek parent company Samatrix in 2000. Adam later joined as Technical Director, the pair of them going on to invent several successful devices. But it’s the patented Norag that really has the market potential. Sam is currently working on a number of other ideas too…
Adam Wakefield
Development Manager
Adam is ‘the brake’, meaning that he puts his years of knowledge to good use sounding out practical and logistical impacts.
Adam’s parents started a pump engineering business back in 1969, just before he was born, so from his early years he recalls ‘helping’ his father strip and rebuild pumps and motors in the family garage. He also witnessed his parents running that business, giving him a fantastic basis for his future career path.
On leaving school, he joined the family business – which by then had become a well-established operation, operating throughout the UK.
After becoming good friends with Sam, he joined Samatek parent company Samatrix, where they began working on their own ideas.
As a keen photographer, he has an eye for detail and always looks for new and innovative aspects, which is reflected in his professional life where he relishes taking a raw idea and bringing it to life.
