Excellence in transformational change

Management consultants delivering excellence in transformational change through the application of engineering, business process improvement and project management best practices.

Welcome to Carbon Six

Carbon Six was founded upon 15 years of excellence at the highest level in automotive engineering and Formula 1; we now specialise in the application of engineering, business process improvement and project management best practice to drive transformational change, for a wide range of clients and businesses within both the public and private sectors.

Objectivity is our second nature, which means that our approach is based upon the use of clear fact and data to justify change regardless of the subject matter.  Whether it is the development of business processes or technical standards; the creation of detailed business strategies to justify change; or even the application of engineering principles to support product development, we have the unique experience and expertise to deliver long lasting results for all of our clients.

  

Our pragmatic approach and strategy of strong and inclusive stakeholder engagement at all levels, is a key enabler of our proven approach to management consulting.  This ensures we have a strong understanding of the culture that drives our client's businesses, before working with them to firstly identify and justify the need for change, before developing solutions to drive improvement.

We work across a wide range of business sectors, successfully delivering change for clients in the automotive, oil and gas, clean energy and emergency fleet services industries, to name but a few.


The head of the UK's largest emergency service fleet operation - 

"Carbon Six were invaluable in getting us to where we are today, and I have no doubt that we would not have been successful without them. They managed where we failed, to get the team on board and retain their positivity throughout the entire process, which is almost as admirable as the end result."

Electrification Strategies 

The automotive industry is going its biggest change transformation since the advent of mass production in the early 1900s.  Our extensive experience in the engineering, product design and development of the automotive technologies that are driving the current transition towards EVs and electrification, means that we are uniquely placed to drive the development of strategies for non-automotive companies to adapt to the impending change.

Programme Management

Our team has extensive experience in the management and execution of small, medium and large scale projects and programmes in both the public and private sectors, in industries ranging from automotive, to oil and gas.

Transformational Change

We are experts in change transformation and implementing real improvements for businesses. Whether is it leading and facilitating change workshops; performing options appraisals and creating business justification papers; or the mapping and designing of new business structures, processes and operations; our unique combination of experience and expertise ensures success.

Excellence, established 2013

Carbon Six was conceived in 2013 as a specialist engineering company, focusing on the design and development of automotive braking systems and built upon the rich expertise of our founder's extensive experience in the design of carbon brakes for the world's leading Formula 1 teams. Since conception, we've led complete engineering teams and delivered complex engineering projects for major global OEMs including McLaren, Bentley, Jaguar Land Rover and Nissan; and in countries as far reaching as Sweden and China.

The Carbon Six name was established to maintain a connection to our founder's rich Formula 1 history.  But why the Six?  Simply put, carbon is the sixth element of the periodic table of the elements and whilst our name remains; our focus has shifted from providing specialist engineering services, towards the application of our engineering, business process and project management expertise to drive transformational change for companies outside of the automotive sector.

Today, the word carbon has both good and bad connotations. At its best; carbon is the most unique element on Earth, being a precursor to all known forms of life.  At its worst, it is associated with CO2, global warming and the climate emergency.  We apply our extensive technical experience and understanding of engineering and business management best practices to help companies and public sector bodies develop and implement strategies for decarbonising their activities. Whether that is through process and productivity improvements that eliminate process cycle time or waste, or specific initiatives aimed at reaching or exceeding net zero.
