Renowned design and engineering consultancy, Paramex, has today
announced that British designer, Wayne
Burgess, is to oversee the group's expanding design
operations.
Established in 1999, Paramex is currently undergoing a
period of accelerated growth and is to move into new facilities in
Coventry, the heart of
Britain's automotive industry. A
leader in digital design, visualisation & innovation, serving
the automotive and engineering sectors, Paramex is expanding its
services and setting up an academy to train future generations to
help ease the shortage of highly-skilled young people joining the
industry.
Burgess joins as Chief Design Officer and his appointment
signals the start of a new era of contemporary, technology driven
design practice. Following the recent global pandemic, the adoption
of digital modelling, visualisation and presentation tools has
become much more prevalent to enable businesses to maintain
creative momentum.
Burgess will oversee the creative design, digital modelling,
digital visualisation and engineering services Paramex offers to
the transport design and consumer product industries. He brings a
wealth of creative design and leadership experience, having worked
for some of the world's finest, premium automotive manufacturers
including Jaguar Land Rover, Aston Martin, Rolls Royce and
Geely.
Wayne commented: "The global pandemic has changed the way we all
work and proven what we already knew; that we can successfully
create cars, products and visual assets remotely, in the digital
realm. I am tasked with overseeing this very exciting period of
innovation at Paramex, helping our clients move their businesses
forward by offering state of the art services."
"Having spent nearly 30 years designing cars for some of the
most prestigious brands in the business, it's time for me to share
the benefit of that knowledge and experience with the widest
possible audience, as our industry moves towards an era of
sustainable, connected, zero emissions and, ultimately, autonomous
vehicles."
Phil Hands, CEO, Paramex, said:
"Wayne is an outstanding and exceptional designer with a strong
back catalogue, boasting some of the most prestigious names from
across the automotive and design world. He brings with him a wealth
of experience, not just within automotive design but in
understanding the developing tech in the design industry, and this
is where Paramex excels. He joins us at a very exciting time as we
accelerate through a period of growth, expanding our team and
moving into new facilities in the heart of the UK automotive
landscape."
Paramex has provided design and engineering resources to the
automotive industry for over 20 years, either in the form of expert
individuals, placed within the client's organisation, or
specifically curated teams delivering 'turn
key' projects. Paramex provides its services to global
Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs).
