Their portfolio includes construction equipment, specialist trailers, vehicle body panel manufacture, high security floor safes, specialised industrial mixing machinery and the supply of consumables to industrial laundrettes.
After 3 years of continuous development and rigorous testing by their engineering team, they now build and sell the YOMPER 4x4 range of compact work/leisure vehicles and which has proved to be a perfect addition to the vehicle body panel supply part of their operation, as it looks to expand into new markets.

Building on their firm foundations and three decades of engineering design success, Supacat have grown to be one of the world’s leading companies specialising in the design and development of equipment operating in harsh environments.
In September 2015, having successfully outgrown their original brand, the company was split between Supacat and SC Innovation under the SC Group umbrella. This exciting formation allows them to grow and develop their joint capabilities while bringing innovative solutions to their customers.
Supacat’s range of off-road wheeled and tracked vehicles continues to expand as new requirements for high-mobility cross-country defence vehicles arise. Supacat is certified to ISO 9001:2008 and delivers all the disciplines of vehicle design, including engineering, testing, prototype manufacture, certification, low- rate production and fleet support. In the UK they are based at their headquarters near Honiton in Devon, but they also have an office in Australia.
While Supacat produces a wide range of vehicles, their listing features two of these models, the LRV 400/600. and the HMT 400 Jackal.
Tevva is a technology company and truck manufacturer. Best known for creating Britain’s first 7.5t-electric truck, they specialise in producing zero-tailpipe emission electric vehicles and long-range hydrogen electric vehicles. Their unique approach blends both battery electric and hydrogen fuel cell technology.
Tevva founder Asher Bennett first conceived his groundbreaking idea for decarbonising the freight industry deep under the ocean. His initial career as an Israeli submarine officer meant his first electric vehicle, as it were, was a submarine. Asher was aware that the electrification of trucks required a finely tuned solution to make the idea as successful as that applied to electric cars. Taking many of the concepts learned in his seagoing days, he applied them to HGVs.
Starting with a core engineering team of just seven, Tevva began developing a range of technologies (as well as its eTruck) to be able to provide other OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturer) and fleet-based businesses with a ready-made solution to the electrification of the medium duty sector, with the urban distribution industry the most critical to clean up. The first generation of Tevva trucks used a small ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) range-extender, but later generations would use hydrogen fuel cells (not as the primary energy source, but as the backup for lithium-ion batteries).
The world quickly realised the viability of Asher's idea, leading to the opening of Tevva London, the company's UK base – where thousands of electric trucks will be manufactured annually. Further plans are afoot to open more factories in continental Europe and beyond.

Theon Design evolved from Adam Hawley’s desire to build his own, perfect Porsche 911. Hawley, who heads up Theon Design, has over 20 years of experience as a car designer, having worked with BMW, Jaguar, Lotus and Lexus. Hawley has also worked with Airbus, as well as taken to the water to design for a powerboat manufacturer.
A lifelong Porsche fan Hawley’s dream was to own a 911 that was a little different; a restomod appealed, but Hawley was keen to utilise his own design, material and prototyping skills and experience to create a car that combined the best of the classic looks and driver involvement, but with the comforts of modern drivability.
Hawley’s own prototype went on to receive such praise that Theon Design was born, building cars with Hawley’s vision and exacting attention, but for customers. To create Theon Design Hawley gathered a team of experts in all areas of automotive design, engineering, engine and chassis development, interior trimming and manufacture. Detail driven and design focussed, Theon Design approaches its builds as an original manufacturer does, using computer aided design and manufacture for prototyping and building, to ensure the very finest quality and finish. Theon Design has an uncomplicated goal; to significantly enhance the iconic Porsche 911 experience to a different level.
Theon Design's creations emerge from the appropriately named Grey Barns in Deddington, Oxfordshire.
