TBAT Innovation expands with new senior appointment

East Midlands-based business consultancy TBAT Innovation has recently appointed Ian Davie to its senior consultancy team. Ian joins TBAT after eight years with the Manufacturing Advisory Service (MAS) based at Pera Consulting. During this time, he worked with over 1000 businesses in every manufacturing sector from food and drink to aerospace. His appointment brings the number of staff based in the Castle Donington offices to 15, and significantly strengthens the company’s manufacturing expertise.

A mechanical engineer by training, Ian’s early career covered several years with Rolls-Royce, followed by positions with Medaes Ltd and Daher Aerospace Ltd. He acquired a fascination for working with smaller companies whilst with MAS and is now able to apply his considerable expertise to the consultancy service provided by TBAT Innovation across the UK.

Ian says: “I’m bringing my contacts as well as expertise to help build the TBAT client portfolio. Although there is plenty of external support for smaller companies, many don’t know how to tap into it. This is especially true of the R&D Tax Relief scheme which is available to innovative, research-based firms. In the new Brexit era, we are seeing an increasing number of ambitious companies turning to advisory organisations such as TBAT for business growth planning, support and guidance.”
