    NEWS RELEASE 10 December 2009 LowCVP Technology Challenge winners present eco-innovations to car industry leaders Six small businesses at the leading edge of low carbon innovation in the automotive sector today have the undivided attention of senior executives from global car companies at a LowCVP event chaired by Richard Parry-Jones, co-chair of the new Automotive Council. Axon Automotive, Brunel University, Controlled Power Technologies, EVO-Electric, Libralato and Oxy-Gen Combustion are today announced as the Winners of LowCVP’s Technology Challenge. Winning the Challenge provides these up-and- coming companies with the unique opportunity to pitch their ideas directly to industry leaders. Demonstrating serious interest in sourcing low carbon car solutions are senior executives from Nissan, Jaguar Land Rover, Ford, Tata Motors, General Motors, McLaren Automotive, Modec, Alexander Dennis, SMTC UK, Denso, GKN, Kautex- Unipart, Shell International and TRW. “The Technology Challenge provides a unique opportunity for some of the best of the low carbon automotive technology companies to access potential partners and customers and to learn more about some very innovative technologies” says LowCVP’s Managing Director Greg Archer. “The strong support from major vehicle manufacturers and component suppliers is an indication of their commitment to finding solutions to reduce CO2 emissions from passenger cars and confidence in UK companies’ ability to deliver these solutions.” The LowCVP challenged emerging businesses to help manufacturers achieve less than 80g/km of CO2 from their conventional, internal combustion passenger cars. The event aims to provide an opportunity for collaboration between the developers of new technology and the mainstream automotive industry, in line with one of the recommendations of the New Automotive Innovation and Growth Team (NAIGT) and the activities of the new Automotive Council.

One hundred years ago to the day, the first ‘Bullnose’ Morris Oxford was built by William Morris just a few hundred metres from where the modern MINI plant stands. With a weekly production of just 20 vehicles in 1913, the business grew rapidly and over the century 11.65 million cars were produced, bearing 13 different British brands and one Japanese. Almost 500, 000 people have worked at the plant in the past 100 years and in the early 1960s numbers peaked at 28,000. Today, Plant Oxford employs 3,700 associates who manufacture up to 900 MINIs every day. Congratulating the plant on its historic milestone, Prime Minister David Cameron said: "The Government is working closely with the automotive industry so that it continues to compete and thrive in the global race and the success of MINI around the world stands as a fine example of British BMW Group Company Postal Address manufacturing at its best.

  • Rethinking Employee Voice
    Rethinking employee voice Voice at Unipart Sustainable business success Voice case studies overview We want to understand the value of employee voice to both employers and employees in companies operating within the UK. Although the literature, and in particular the WERS survey, shows the spread of voice across UK workplaces, and the number of voice practices in workplaces, it is not able to show the relationship between different voice mechanisms, the organisational culture and the perceived value of voice to workplace actors. Moreover, the pace of change within UK workplaces has meant that the academic literature has yet to fully capture recent innovations in voice such as the introduction of legislation requiring greater consultation and the continued expansion of online communication and the spread of social media. The case studies, therefore, enable us to firstly map some of the voice arrangements deemed to be effective for employers and employees in different sectors of the economy. Secondly, they will allow us to explore some of the dynamics between the different voice mechanisms and also the cultural context in which they exist, including management approaches. The case studies are not intended to be representative of the UK economy, nor of UK practice. They are explicitly designed to identify good practice, by which we mean practice that is seen as valuable to employers and employees. In particular we aim to understand: • What structures and cultures a range of different organisations have in place to harness employee voice • What factors enable and inhibit employee voice • What benefits are associated with employee voice • Whether there are any tool or techniques that can be applied in other companies 2 Part 1: Introduction This case study describes the forms of employee voice in two Unipart businesses.
