The company’s businesses support these ambitions with dedicated track day operations, a simulator & driver development operation and its own test track.

Under the guidance of Chairman and founder Lawrence Tomlinson it consists of five core businesses across industry sectors including: Healthcare, Construction, Chemicals, Automotive and Software.
