- MBMatthew BellMatt Bell soon found a passion for design engineering while studying as an engineering apprenticeship. Matt was quickly using the skills he'd developed in the workplace as a design engineer to support young designers through teaching the use of CAD tools at a local college, and he soon moved into education on a full-time basis. In 2006 Matt accepted the appointment of WorldSkills (WS) U.K. expert for mechanical engineering design, and he trained U.K. competitors to success at WS events in 2007, 2009, 2011, and 2013, in addition to EuroSkills gold in 2010. Matt has spearheaded the WS national competition since 2007. The competition is now the largest engineering competition in the WS portfolio, providing a fantastic opportunity for young people to showcase their talents. Matt recently accepted the appointment of cluster lead for all WS U.K. engineering competitions. In 2011 Matt joined Autodesk, Inc., as an education manager, and he's thriving on the challenge to ensure that every student has access to the very latest digital design tools.
