Battery firm gets bosses charged up for the future
but it is expecting to create a number of new jobs for managers and engineers this year.
The firm designs, develops and manufactures lithium-ion battery systems which are used across a wide range of industries and, last year, completed a £7m investment in the UK’s largest independent battery pack manufacturing facility.
CEO Chris Pennison said: “As our business continues to evolve, it’s essential that our managers are equipped with the tools and knowledge they need to keep our operations running with maximum efficiency.
“The Hay & Kilner team keeps the legal jargon to a minimum, deals with our key managers as real people and makes sure the content and purpose allows businesses to get the results they want and need.
“We’ve got a growing customer base across all the sectors in which we operate around the world and are continuing to invest strategically in the business.
“This is with a view to securing double-digit growth through our next financial year.”
Neil Dwyer, Sarah Hall and Sarah Furness, Hay & Kilner’s specialist employment law team, aim to enhance senior management’s workplace skills and to help cultivate a deep, practical understanding of how best to support, motivate and manage its expanding workforce.
Neil Dwyer, partner at the law firm, added: "The support we provide is tailored to the commercial and operational needs of each business and the individuals running it.
“We work with each management team beforehand to make sure it fits their need to have their businesses run as smoothly as possible.
“Hyperdrive Innovation is a shining light in the North East’s ever-expanding knowledge economy.
“We are pleased to be playing our part in underpinning its continuing success.”
