What started out as a small internal newsletter to celebrate International Women's Day and Women's History Month has turned into something rather impressive, but we shouldn't be surprised with some of QR_'s leading ladies at the helm! Download, kick back and have a read through the mix of reflection, history and personal experiences ranging from the mildly amusing to the quite worrying.
Based on client and peer feedback, QR_ once again features on the FT’s Leading Management Consultants list. Here’s our take on how we can mix it with the heavy hitters and in many cases come out on top.
In the first of a three-part series, Quick Release Inc.'s Ian Rye takes a look at what it really means to have a successful prototype build in the automotive world, and all of the little decisions along the way that it takes to get there.

“What VentilatorChallengeUK has achieved in the space of twelve weeks is nothing short of incredible, creating and producing an approved product and setting up production facilities on this scale would normally take years. I am immensely proud of the energy, determination and ingenuity shown by every business in responding to this national need. Together, we have helped ensure the NHS has always had access to the number of ventilators it needs, and we’re pleased to have also contributed to building a resilient stock should ventilators be required in the UK in the future. This coalition of the very best of this country’s people and capability across different sectors has truly showcased the strength of the manufacturing industry in the UK. While we have now delivered all the required ventilators to the NHS, the Consortium is looking to capture lessons learned and share them across the engineering community – and with Government – as key tools to help UK industry get back on its feet after the COVID19 pandemic has passed.” - Dick Elsy
