Local businesses recently heard the latest developments behind the attempt to break the world land speed record – 1,000mph.
Top 10 accountancy firm Moore Stephens teamed up with BLOODHOUND SSC (SuperSonic Car) at Danesfield House in Buckinghamshire to host the event, where business professionals heard from project director Richard Noble and witnessed first-hand the jet and rocket-powered car.
Miles Hewitt-Boorman, partner at Moore Stephens, said: “We were delighted to bring Richard, his BLOODHOUND SSC team, and a full-sized model of the car to the Thames Valley.
“As well as attempting to break the world land speed record, BLOODHOUND SSC is also making major strides to inspire the next generation of scientists and engineers in the UK and it was a fantastic opportunity to hear about the exciting developments of the project.
“We’ve developed a strong partnership with BLOODHOUND SSC over the past few years and we’ll continue to follow the developments of the project closely as the record attempt moves closer.”
Education is one of BLOODHOUND's key goals, and the BLOODHOUND Project aims to motivate young people to enjoy and study science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) subjects at school and then at university, and ultimately alleviate the shortage of scientists, engineers and mathematicians.
Noble added: “Word of mouth is hugely important to the project and attracting organisations to help contribute to what we are doing.
“This is a British project that we want as many people as possible to be involved in, and events such as this one held by Moore Stephens are vital to helping us to achieve our goals.”
