Manufacturing, engineering, and industrial organisations often tell themselves a comforting story about work. The story goes something like this: if you hire good people, train them well, and give them clear responsibilities, the organisation will perform. If something goes wrong, it must be a skills gap, a resourcing issue, or a temporary lapse in execution. Fix the local problem and the system will recover. That story used to be mostly true. It is no longer true now. Modern

Brexit did not simply disrupt British manufacturing. It broke the conditions that had allowed it to operate with stability, scale, and predictability. The damage was not loud or immediate, but structural and cumulative, spreading through supply chains, cost bases, labour markets, and demand shifting. The event has passed, but its consequences are still unfolding. What comes next will matter more than what has already happened. The impact of Brexit on British manufacturing has

The global pandemic forced a hard reset. Old ways of working and old ideologies went out the window because there was no time left for debate. It became a matter of survival. Adapt or die. The most Darwinian reality of our world, a reflection of our nature, and a reminder of how we came to be. COVID forced us to find alternative ways to work together, to still deliver when proximity was no longer an option. We took baby steps. Some tripped and fell. Others resisted until resi

Let’s be honest for a moment, much of the software running today’s valuable engineering operations was built in an era when the internet z was considered cutting-edge. The modern landscape demands systems that are smarter, more capable, and more adaptive, yet the risk of updating, changing, or evolving has kept many organisations locked in the past. We understand the predicament you’re in, because almost every manufacturing and engineering organisation reaches this moment eve

Our Forward-Deployed Engineers don’t operate at a distance, they work alongside your business to understand how you actually operate, bringing targeted solutions, system tuning, and operational adjustments that unlock far greater value than off-the-shelf software ever could. We understand why the promise of “customisation” often triggers concern rather than confidence. Many organisations have lived through implementations where flexibility meant endless workshops, painful com

Modern Manufacturing Demands a New Class of Operational Systems Manufacturing has never been a stranger to change. It is how the industry moved from manual machining to CNC, from isolated workshops to integrated production, and from local supply to global reach. The organisations that endured were not simply the largest or best funded, but those that adapted quickly, adapted well, and stayed ahead of the curve as conditions shifted. Today, the industry stands at another infle

Over her distinguished career, she has held key legal roles at some of the world’s most notable tier-one financial institutions and 'Big Four' advisories, including J.P. Morgan, Goldman Sachs, HSBC, State Street, Bank of America Merrill Lynch, EY, Credit Suisse, BNY Mellon, and GFT Technologies.

The recent surge in trade tariffs under the second Trump administration did not simply raise the cost of certain imports. It forced a fundamental reconfiguration of how American manufacturing thinks about supply chains, cost structures, and strategic sovereignty. What began as a policy to onshore production and reduce dependence on external suppliers became a crucible in which the assumptions of globalised commerce were tested against geopolitical reality. The result has been

This past weekend, we had pit lane access with Levassi and James Wallis in the Porsche Carrera Cup at Silverstone. In racing, every gram counts. Teams work relentlessly to extract value from even the smallest details, knowing that fractions of a second can determine the outcome. That pursuit of absolute performance, where nothing is left unchecked, and every adjustment matters. This is the kind of discipline we admire and apply in our own work. At Levyne, we draw direct expe

Attending the 2025 Silverstone Formula 1 Grand Prix was more than just a day out, it was a powerful reminder of what world-class performance truly looks like. With roots in engineering and technology, we understand the value of high-performance systems, whether in infrastructure, digital transformation, or mission-critical environments. Like F1 teams, our approach is data-driven, detail-obsessed, and focused on results. We don’t leave performance to chance. We build it. Silv

Rising Porsche Carrera Cup GB driver James Wallis secured a landmark victory at Snetterton, winning the 400th race in the championship’s history, behind the wheel of a car emblazoned with the number 400 and new livery featuring the prominent Levassi Logo. The triumph marked more than just a racing milestone; it also celebrated the launch of a new partnership from Levassi, a luxury fashion retailer founded by businesswoman Niya Leja. Known for its bold aesthetic and appeal to

The session focused on investment strategy, commercial scaling, and identifying high-potential sectors expected to define the coming years. Conversations explored both the challenges faced in commercialisation out of the lab, in growth phases, and the structural advantages available to well-positioned companies.

" Reading it felt like a masterclass of Physics, Mathematics, Ethics, Technology and Philosophy all under one roof. Surprisingly easy to understand but so complex. Then again, isn't that a measure of a true genius?"

The year opened with negotiations over a portfolio purchase of two fully owned industrial estates in Worcestershire and Southampton. The assets were a rare case in which entire industrial estate plots were held outright by a single party. Both sites presented as strong commercial property with consistent cashflow profiles, and room for uplift, making alignment of seller interests a critical part of the process. A full-day of site visits had been scheduled for New Year’s morni

At the end of 2023, a nuanced transaction was underway for the acquisition of a minority stake in a sensitive logistics technology company. The deal involved aligning the interests of a broad shareholder base, including investors from the UAE and the UK, with support from one of the Big Four professional advisory firms. The engagement began with a site visit, allowing the investment team to see the company’s operations and technology firsthand. Understanding the IP that under

The Levyne Group has successfully secured investment for an early-stage software company developing infrastructure-level artificial intelligence products. These products form the backbone of future AI applications, requiring deep technical expertise, capital, and a long-term strategic vision. Backing a business at this stage demands more than financial structuring, it requires an understanding of intellectual property, defensibility, and the ability to identify technologies c

We attended the Graphene Investor meeting, an exclusive room organised by The Graphene Council and co-hosted by Potter Clarkson. We were invited by Jason Teng, Partner at Potter Clarkson, an IP focused law firm based in Nottingham & London Holborn. The room was small and intimate, with around 40 guests, investors from across the UK venture capital and private equity space.

The Levyne Group  welcomed our investment group, friends and partners to a private event, treating them to fine wine in a luxury cinema setting. The summit introduced casted The Levyne Group's shared ambition and vision for the portfolio and provided insight into our outlook.

Taye Reid, CEO of The Levyne Group, meets with Sandy Xiong, CEO of JC Sportline, at the Shangri-La in The Shard, London. Xiong travels from China to formalize a two-year partnership with the Group, marking a major step forward in global collaboration.

We gather with our friends, family and partners for an evening that blends great conversation with brick-oven pizza and drinks. This is more than just a casual get-together, it is a chance to spark new ideas, strengthen relationships, and open doors to collaborations that shape the future. With every conversation, we see connections forming and opportunities unfolding.
