Warwickshire is home to literally hundreds of globally-leading automotive companies, from Jaguar Land Rover and Aston Martin to some not so familiar, but no less impressive companies.

Coventry-based RDM Group supplies products and engineering services to the automotive industry, while Sirius Automotive in Leamington Spa specialises in the production of electric and Subarupowered high performance sports cars.

Then there’s Eatron Technologies in Warwick, an “intelligent software” company specialising in electric and autonomous vehicles and also based in the town is Contechs, a leading provider of specialist design and engineering services to some of the world’s most well-known automotive engineering brands.

But don’t let’s forget there are many other manufacturing companies in the county which serve industries other than automotive that can be celebrated too.
