Bristol-based
Dynisma, a designer and manufacturer of motion simulation systems that are being adopted by leading automotive manufacturers worldwide — including McLaren Automotive and Ferrari — is now exporting to Europe with support from
UK Export Finance (UKEF), the Government’s export credit agency.
With a 3 million euro surety bond issued by NatWest and guaranteed by UKEF’s Bond Support Scheme, Dynisma secured a 10.7-million-euro contract with a European client, thereby ‘accelerating the company’s international expansion and bolstering UK growth’. Indeed, over the past year, Dynisma has created over 65 high-skilled UK jobs and opened a new 20,000ft2 technology campus in Bristol to support its continued growth and expansion into adjacent sectors and new markets.
Founded by former Formula 1 engineer Ash Warne, Dynisma set out to close a gap in vehicle development by creating motion simulators with ‘real-world correlation’, thereby marking a step change in ‘Driver-in-the-Loop’ simulation and giving automotive manufacturers and race teams access to capabilities once limited to top-tier motorsport. Dynisma now supplies systems to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and teams across all major motorsport series, helping reduce physical testing, shorten development cycles, and improve overall efficiency.
Unlocking financeGareth Thomas, Minister for Exports, said: “Dynisma is a fantastic example of a successful British business that has gone from strength-to-strength through exporting. UKEF’s support enables Dynisma to unlock valuable new financing, which has opened up a new chapter for the company and helped to create new local skilled jobs.”
Graeme Cook, Dynisma’s CEO, added: “This support from UKEF and NatWest has played an important part in helping us unlock new global opportunities. It reflects the strength of our technology, our culture, and our people. As a team, we are proud to be flying the flag for British innovation on a global stage and to be helping our customers rethink what is possible in simulation, development, and performance. This is just the beginning, as our platforms have huge potential in adjacent industries, and we are excited for the road ahead.”
Dynisma’s advanced motion simulators enable automotive manufacturers to virtually test and develop vehicles across the entire product lifecycle, from early concept through to final sign-off. By delivering ultra-low latency and high-bandwidth feedback, they provide engineers and drivers with real-world correlation for handling, performance, and ride development, thereby reducing reliance on costly physical prototypes and enabling earlier, faster decision-making, and helping OEMs bring vehicles to market with greater speed and confidence.
