We have extensive experience working at the forefront of mobility, from conventional aircraft through to electric vehicles, drones and space travel
In recent years, we have been working with clients who are at the leading edge of developing disruptive mobility technologies to tackle climate change and improve way of life. Our mission is simple, we want to enable the development of technologies to make the world a better place for everyone.
With a unique understanding of the vehicular, environmental, regulatory, and business factors that ultimately determine success, we enable organisations to reach their full potential by building high-performance teams. From electric vehicles and delivery drones delivering critical medical aid to Mars landers, we support the most exciting projects out there.
Specialist Areas
Given our deep routed understanding of airborne technologies and the complexity behind certification, we are honored to bring this expertise to some of the most exciting & disruptive companies in the world. The world of aerospace has never been more exciting and we are working with the companies that are genuinely developing products to change the world. From tackling arguably the single biggest polluter of CO2 in the world to developing autonomous delivery drones to making flying taxis. In our opinion it doesn’t get much cooler than that!

- Electric & hydrogen powertrains
- Battery development
- UAVs & drones for good
The world is changing as e-Mobility becomes increasingly prevalent. E-mobility encompasses the use of fully electric, conventional hybrid, plug-in hybrid as well as hydrogen-fuelled vehicles. These vehicles (from cars and buses to scooters) are fully or partially driven electrically, have a means of storing energy on board, and obtain their energy mainly from the power grid.
- Electric vehicles
- Infrastructure
Focusing on space as it becomes more commercialised and more sustainable, our clients come from a range of angles, ranging from satellites for connectivity, space exploration, reusable rockets & green propulsion systems to leaders in orbital debris removal. Our focus is largely around supporting clients looking to solve the key technical challenges enabling sustainable and safe access to space.
- Satellites
- Space travel

We work alongside world-leading companies
Wingcopter
We started our main project with Wingcopter in April 2022 with 1 embedded recruiter.
Our average time to hire is 3 weeks with 85% of CVs sent across resulting in an interview. As of April 2023, we’ve sourced, screened, and hired 25 fantastic individuals for Wingcopter including a Head of Certification and 3 key Lead roles. In addition, we have conducted various value-add projects including; Global Talent Searches, Managed large amounts of activity, Delivered Marketing campaigns to raise the Wingcopter Brand, Interview Process consultancy for Hiring Managers, Salary and Relocation Packages, Insights and Process Streamlining (E.g. Candidate ratings).
Vertical Aerospace
When we began our collaboration with Vertical in 2019, they were a privately funded company made up of ca. 40 employees. With no internal recruitment team and a plan to develop and test a brand new prototype aircraft within 3 years, attracting talent and forming a world class engineering team was essential for success.
Our RPO solution provides both a delivery team with significant recruitment capacity and a dedicated account manager to implement an effective and scalable process.
We removed the admin associated with recruitment from Vertical’s team; job advertising, directly managing all interview scheduling, completing right-to-work/reference checks, and issuing employment contracts. To support with the volume of roles and candidates, we implemented an ATS. This was a huge success and aided greatly in the tracking of applicants that came through the website. We have recruited over 200 employees for them (a number which is growing).
Today, they are publicly listed, have received over $347mil investment and are 300 plus employees strong.
