We get the view from John Veevers, Senior Calibration Engineer, on why the team are so passionate about supporting the sector. 

What can LRW offer to niche and low volume manufacturers?   

Our team has an incredible back catalogue of working with, and for, some of the most exciting automotive manufacturers out there. That means we can bring our engineering expertise to support smaller manufacturers. Our skillset spans OBD calibration, testing, certification and validation as well as control systems, toolsets and software design. We also work with suppliers to the low volume industry.    

How do you work with smaller, more niche clients?   

We’re extremely flexible. We can work on or offsite with our clients and integrate closely with their existing teams. Because we’re a smaller business ourselves, we’re nimble and can deploy our engineers quickly. LRW understands how important this is for rapidly evolving niche projects and businesses. 

What makes the team so passionate about low volume? 

As well as having the sharpest set of engineering brains I think I’ve ever worked with, many of the team are genuinely obsessed with cars and modern powertrain technologies, but we all have our iconic favourites of the past! There is a shared passion here for innovative and unique projects. Most of us will happily spend our downtime working on our own vehicles – there’s a lot of petrol running through our veins.   

Sounds like you’re speaking from experience John?  

Absolutely! I built my first car at 17 from a pair of non-running Mk 1 Volkswagen Golfs. I also created the first Toyota Supra with a fully integrated Lexus LS400 Electrical Architecture, including fully functional powertrain, chassis, body and comfort systems. And, two decades on – via stints including JLR, PalmerSport, Hedley Studios and Rolls Royce Bespoke - I’m still excited about every new project!
