Announcement follows publication of the Industrial and Trade
Strategies as part of the government's Plan for Change
Bristol-based technology leader, Dynisma, is now exporting to
Europe with support from UK Export Finance (UKEF), the
government's export credit agency.
New government support is driving the company's expansion, whose
cutting-edge motion simulation systems are adopted by leading
automotive manufacturers worldwide, including McLaren Automotive
and Ferrari.
With a €3 million surety bond issued by NatWest and
guaranteed by UKEF's Bond Support Scheme,
Dynisma secured a €10.7 million contract with a European client,
accelerating the company's international expansion and bolstering
UK growth.
Over the past year, Dynisma has created over 65 high-skilled UK
jobs and opened a new 20,000 sq. ft technology campus in Bristol
to support its continued growth and expansion into adjacent
sectors and new markets.
Founded by former Formula 1 engineer Ash Warne, Dynisma set out
to close a critical gap in vehicle development by creating motion
simulators with real-world correlation.
This marked a step change in Driver-in-the-Loop simulation,
giving automotive manufacturers and race teams access to
capabilities once limited to top-tier motorsport. Dynisma now
supplies systems to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and
teams across all major motorsport series, helping reduce physical
testing, shorten development cycles, and improve overall
efficiency.
Dynisma's partnership with NatWest and UKEF also includes a
General Export Facility
(GEF) worth up to around £7.1 million. This will give Dynisma
access to a range of trade finance facilities designed to support
the growth of export volumes.
, Minister for Exports,
said:
Dynisma is a fantastic example of a successful British business
that has gone from strength-to-strength through exporting.
UKEF's support enables Dynisma to unlock valuable new financing,
which has opened up a new chapter for the company and helped to
create new local skilled jobs.
Graeme Cook, CEO of Dynisma, said:
This support from UKEF and NatWest has played an important part
in helping us unlock new global opportunities. It reflects the
strength of our technology, our culture, and our people.
As a team, we're proud to be flying the flag for British
innovation on a global stage and to be helping our customers
rethink what's possible in simulation, development, and
performance. This is just the beginning – our platforms have huge
potential in adjacent industries, and we're excited for the road
ahead.
Louis Spencer, Relationship Manager, NatWest,
said:
At NatWest, we take pride in our support for innovative
businesses as they look to expand and take their expertise to
global markets.
Dynisma represents a fantastic example of British engineering
excellence, delivering a major boost to the local economy and
technology sector. We're delighted that our partnership with UK
Export Finance has assisted them to secure new opportunities for
international growth.
Dynisma's advanced motion simulators enable automotive
manufacturers to virtually test and develop vehicles across the
entire product lifecycle – from early concept through to final
sign-off.
By delivering ultra-low latency and high-bandwidth feedback, they
provide engineers and drivers with real-world correlation for
handling, performance, and ride development. This reduces
reliance on costly physical prototypes and enables earlier,
faster decision-making, helping OEMs bring vehicles to market
with greater speed and confidence.
Dynisma's success story aligns with the government's focus on
driving economic growth across the UK, in partnership with
businesses and by supporting innovation in key sectors like
automotive and advanced manufacturing through the Industrial and
Trade Strategies, where the UK enjoys competitive advantages
globally.
