INSPIRE

A truly remarkable success story, Flybrid is regarded as one of the world leaders in mechanical hybrid technology.

Founded in 2007 by Jon Hilton and Doug Cross, the company began operations from the Silverstone Park Innovation Centre.

Jon Hilton recalls: “It was just Doug and I and one paid employee in a serviced 500 sq ft office – we couldn’t manufacture anything in there of course, but we could draw and sub-contract out to people with equipment to machine and build components.

The start date was 2nd January 2007 and by Christmas that year we were testing on a dyno – by March 2008 we’d landed a big contract with Jaguar Land Rover and by July we had moved into our current 7000 sq ft premises 200 yards away.

In winter 2008, we saw product finally in a vehicle and since then it’s snowballed. In our fourth year of trading 100 percent of our sales was export – we now have UK customers but we’ve done business around the world in China and the USA, which did surprise me to start with.

We’re now 23 people at Silverstone Park. We’ve designed, developed and built 12 systems for different vehicles from cars, buses and trucks working with companies such as Volvo, Jaguar, the Wright Bus group and JCB excavators, plus we are now owned by the Torotrak group which has 80 or so engineers.”

It is a truly remarkable success story with Flybrid now regarded as one of the leaders in mechanical hybrids in the world. The company also has 55 patents pending globally.

All of this achieved at Silverstone Park.

SUCCESS

EDM is one of only a handful of companies in the UK capable of machining components made with ultra-hard conductive materials to exceptionally high levels of precision.

F1, which EDM Managing Director Paul Waldron describes as “product design at warp factor 10”, certainly makes up a large percentage of the company’s output.

He comments: “Innovation and product design is in every business, but in F1 it is incredibly fast and is continuous week after week after week. The F1 teams therefore need a really good supply chain and we’re proud to be a key part of that. It’s prestigious to be in it, but not everybody can do it.

We’ve worked with F1 for the last 22 years (these include title-winning teams), so we’ve developed a business model that can respond to the demands and to the quality standards required.”

Waldron concludes: “We’ve worked hard to get a good reputation and it is massively important to us, as all our work comes from referrals. We are delighted that we can stay busy by working for a variety of high-performance industries and being at Silverstone only reinforces that.”

Being based at Silverstone Park has added huge credibility to our brand identity and helped us greatly increase our market share.TIM MACCABEE MANAGING DIRECTOR, DUCATI UK

With record sales, cutting edge design and the perfect location in Silverstone Park, the future has never looked rosier for the racing red of Ducati UK.

Its smart two-storey building is the nerve centre for sales and marketing, PR, rider apparel, financing, UK racing activity, dealer network training and roadshow logistics nationwide.

Ducati UK Managing Director, Tim Maccabee says: “Silverstone makes for the ideal home for an automotive brand that prides itself on a rich sporting heritage and passionate following.

When it comes to the growth of a company, we very much believe in the saying ‘anything that reflects the brand affects the brand’. As a premium sporting automotive brand, why wouldn’t you want to be at the home of British motorsport? Furthermore, it’s nice for many reasons that we are being supported by the development that MEPC is doing on upgrading Silverstone Park.

I would say Silverstone was already the circuit with the best standards of facilities, but MEPC are coming in and working on the right things. From the tenants they are bringing in and the development they are working on, it all points to high quality, which will only add to that general perception and feel that reflects well on the brand being here.

It’s intangible in terms of feel good factor. When we run a training course for dealership sales people for example, they’re already getting excited when they drive up the main road to Silverstone. That wasn’t the case at our previous building – some very anonymous offices about 15 miles away which would be nice for a company selling photocopiers or insurance products. We’re about stirring the soul. It’s why we are here.”

Porsche | CASE STUDY

Even by Porsche’s trend-setting standards, its Experience Centre located at Silverstone Park has truly set the blueprint for others to follow on a global scale.

The facility, which focuses on driving skills development for Porsche customers, is regarded as one of the best of its kind in the world.

Its location – right next to Silverstone’s Formula 1 Grand Prix circuit, by the famous Becketts and Hangar Straight sections of the track – befits perfectly one of motoring’s most legendary names.

Experience Centre Manager Gill Kerr explains: “The right location is very important to Porsche – and Silverstone, the home of British motorsport, provides that for us. In fact the Porsche Experience Centre is located on the original 1998 World Rally Special Stage site and Porsche retained a lot of the original topography in developing the bespoke tracks. We are also located within two hours of 70 percent of our UK customer base.”

SILVERSTONE PARK AND CIRCUIT

To attract and retain the right talent, you need to offer more than just an outstanding working environment.

Silverstone Park is surrounded by the beautiful rolling countryside of South Northamptonshire, officially one of Britain’s most desirable places to live,* with open spaces, ancient woodlands, peaceful canals and quiet lanes providing fantastic opportunities for sport and recreation; yet both London and Birmingham are just an hour away.

The nearby market towns have excellent schools and a great choice of independent shops, cafés, restaurants and pubs, with house prices around the UK average. Aylesbury, Milton Keynes, Northampton and Oxford are all within easy reach, offering an even greater choice of property, shopping, educational and recruitment options.
