Expertise in technology, engineering and commercialisation
We couldn't find a consultancy that saw it through.So we built one.
- Foresight
- Delivery
- Leadership
Pi was founded by four chief engineers and directors. From setting the direction to delivering the outcome, every member of our team has done the job from the inside.
The Pi difference
Why clients choose Pi.
What you see is who you get The people who scope your programme are the people who deliver it. You explain the problem once, to the people who will solve it.
Engineering, technology and commercial, in harmony Problems rarely stay in one discipline. We cover all three, and bring ideas from other industries, so you're not left joining up the specialists yourself.
Accountable for the outcome Every engagement carries an agreed return target, and we report against it. We don't hand over a presentation and walk away.
You leave stronger Your team keeps the methods and tools we used, and we only step away once the outcome holds without us.
“I love working with Pi. I give them a top-level problem, and I trust them to understand where I'm coming from and work with my team to solve it.”
What we're brought in for
Specialist expertise, from concept to market.
Applied across
Real questions we're asked
‘We need a team that can build and run a go-to-market strategy for patented new technology.’
‘Our supplier is underperforming. I need the capacity and experience to understand why.’
‘We're starting a whole new vehicle platform and need an EE and software technology plan.’
How we work
Three ways to work with us.
Set the direction, deliver the work, or lead it from inside your team. Many clients start with one and draw on the others as the programme matures.
Track record
The proof is in the outcomes.
- Two development partnerships for an EV start-up. Shaped the go-to-market around the technical plan, then built the pipeline that won two contracts.Foresight · Delivery
- A stop-sale fault fixed for an OEM. Found the root cause they couldn't, and oversaw the fix until in-field occurrences dropped significantly.Foresight · Delivery
- DV samples on time for a US EV scale-up. Turned round a distressed supplier with a recovery plan delivered directly with them.Delivery
- Investor confidence for a new engine venture. Stepped in as fractional CTO, owning the roadmap, design reviews and investor-pack input.Leadership

“When I heard consultants were coming in, I was worried. I didn't need to be. The Pi team were professional and fair, and helped us recover a difficult situation.”
