Automotive consultancy takes Grand Prix at 2014 BEEAs
Leading engineering consultancy and driveline solutions provider, Romax Technology, has won the Grand Prix prize at the 2014 British Engineering Excellence Awards (BEEAs), held today in London.
Now in their sixth year, the BEEAs promote the quality of engineering design in the UK and celebrate those companies that have demonstrated the skills, invention and dedication to compete on an international stage.

This year, the Awards drew entries from all corners of the UK's engineering community and from companies working in a wide range of industries – showing the real strength and depth of UK design engineering.

Romax Technology – a global business with headquarters in the UK – was also named as the Consultancy of the Year. It offers consulting, software and design solutions, as well as support for bearings and gearboxes, to customers in markets ranging from automotive to wind energy.

However, it excels mainly in the automotive market, where it works with 14 of the 15 top car makers.

Commenting on the company's outstanding success, Chairman of the Judges and previous BEEAs Grand Prix winner, Andrew Burrows, said: "The Judges felt that any organisation that manages to do business with more than one manufacturer in a competitive market must have something special going for it. But when you find a consultancy working for more than 100 automotive companies – and 14 of the top 15 car makers – then that company is truly an example of British Engineering Excellence."

Such is Romax Technology's pre-eminence in its markets that it has managed to triple the size of its consulting business since 2009.

The judges described it as: "A company that has grown significantly through a time of global upheaval in a challenging market sector by offering advanced engineering to some of the biggest automotive players."

Ed Tranter, Executive Director of Awards Organiser Findlay Media, added: "Romax Technology was one of a number of exceptional entries received this year. Through every category, the judges were deeply impressed by the quality of engineering put forward and the talent behind it. My personal congratulations go to all those entrants that were shortlisted and of course to the winners."
