A Tribute to Quentin Willson
Quentin was officially introduced to Vizion at our 2016 conference, Ignite.
From that moment, he became not just a supporter, but a true advocate of Vizion and everything we believe in. His passion for progress, quality, and integrity left a lasting impression on everyone who met him.
When the pandemic put a pause on live events, Quentin remained a firm ally. So when we returned in 2023 for the first Kinetic, it was only natural that he would host the two-day event.
“I’m delighted to be hosting the Vizion Conference for the second time and looking forward to hearing and seeing how this industry does so much to further quality, sustainability, value, and professionalism. The 2023 conference promises to be a real treat.”
Kinetic 2023 was indeed a success, and Quentin played no small part in that. He brought insight, warmth, and sharp wit to every moment, engaging speakers with tough but thoughtful questions and challenging perceptions in ways that inspired genuine reflection. Despite his status, Quentin never stood apart. He walked the exhibition floor, chatted with delegates, joined the evening conversations, and was always eager to discuss the future of electric vehicles, a cause he championed tirelessly.
At Kinetic ’25, Quentin once again brought his trademark energy and conviction to the stage, sitting alongside Chris McKie, CEO of Vizion and continuing to challenge, inspire, and spark debate about the future of our industry. Taking part in panel discussions on EV and ARIES, his passion and belief in progress shone through in every word.
Quentin was much more than a host. He was a voice of reason, a champion of change, and a true friend to Vizion. His presence will be deeply missed, but his spirit, passion, and belief in progress will continue to inspire everything we do.
Thank you, Quentin.
