Case Studies

Sports car concept design
Produced concept designs for variants of 2-seater sports road cars for a UK-based start-up. Based on a Caterham/Lotus 7 style vehicle, we provided the customer with numerous concepts, engineering options and styling exercises based on conventional 4-cylinder Ford-supplied engines and also options for all electric power solutions.


DIL software company

Working for a 'driver-in-the-loop' (DIL) simulator software company, we developed new business opportunities for low-latency simulator technology as an essential solution for vehicle dynamics within the general automotive market. We established the first ever general automotive sales of the technology through 2000+ connections in the industry. Created new sales pipelines with more than 10 OEMs in the US, Japan and Europe as well as over 20 T1s worldwide. Role required identifying the most appropriate contacts within an organisation, developing the relationships (top down and ground up) and supporting internal processes where necessary to implement the new technologies for vehicle dynamics applications. Increased annual revenues through licence sales and Hi-definition digital road model sales from £500k in 2012 to >£2.2m in 2015.


Luxury sports car company

Provided an in-depth assessment and audit of active design and manufacturing business processes and working practices for an international luxury sports car manufacturer. Established tailored requirements for future CAE design and data management technology. Devised new processes, sourced the most suitable software vendor and business partner. Enabled projected cost savings of over £500k compared with the previous budget plan.
