About Matt Thomas

An excellent project leader and recognised as an individual that can deliver to high standards. This is due to bridging the gap between business management and ‘on the floor’ environments. Drawing on my 30 years of expertise in business, production prototyping and creative design, I have a natural desire to problem-solve and have been successful in positions such as aerodynamic designer, Technical Director, board member, Chairman and have successfully delivered automotive-design assets for many global car manufacturers.Most recently I coordinated teams to the successful delivery of automotive-design prototypes for the Ford Motor Company, this has involved coordinating between management the 3D prototyping, engineering and CAD teams. I have simultaneously managed my Military Lane business part time, in all areas of product placement, finance, sales and within the required licensing regulations. This business is rated as 5-Stars and is known for quality products.I am now seeking to be involved in a project leadership role, ideally in a prototype development environment with a view to making a positive impact to the team production and delivery of quality product to a high level of satisfaction.
