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.”
