Typical Customers & Partners

TecExec was initially focused on helping small companies and startups and this remains the core of the business.  However, over the years it has also worked with some of the world's largest multinationals on specific consulting projects calling for both management and engineering expertise.  Consequently, it is very difficult to define a "typical" customer other than through the common links of technology and innovation.  For confidentiality reasons we cannot name most of our customers but they include:

  • University academics

  • Inventors

  • Sole traders, entrepreneurs and startups

  • Small technology businesses

  • Medium-sized engineering firms

  • Multinationals (process products, IT, electronics)

  • etc...


About TecExec

TecExec was established in 1992 by an enthusiastic group of engineers who realised that for many technical companies, the gap between technical and management disciplines was widening.  They saw that there were many areas where individuals who had both strong technical and managerial expertise could help businesses which were struggling to bridge this gap.

One of the first areas of focus for this approach was the field of European legislation relating to Machinery Safety which became a critical issue for many machinery manufacturers in the mid-1990s.  The concepts of self-certification and the legal implications of engineering design decisions were seen as a major barrier to implementing the regulations.   TecExec provided software, training, workshops and books on the subject to provide practical support to engineers who were dealing with these issues.

The consulting side of the business grew during the mid-1990s to encompass engineering-related management consulting topics such as Business Process Re-Engineering, business planning and product/service development.  These were all approached from TecExec's engineering-based view and provided novel developments for several large business clients.

Towards the late 1990s, TecExec began to develop its ideas on Venture Partnering as a way of harnessing the potential of new technology and innovation for real commercial benefit.  It started two new ventures; Watson Brown HSM Ltd. is a joint-venture with an inventor supplying machinery for waste rubber recycling and Maelstrom-APT Ltd. is a supplier of high technology process equipment.  Both of these companies have attracted external investment and are developing well.  Since 2000, TecExec has acquired an interest in three further companies by way of joint venture or minority shareholding and is actively engaged in developing these businesses (see the Investments and Holdings page).
