People
"The team at Exeter were very open in their approach to problem solving and delivered theoretical and experimental results that exceeded our expectations.
The outcome for TCS was a new product that passed all qualification testing and a physical demonstrator that we could show and discuss with interested parties.
We also thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to integrate physics with engineering and learn the fundamentals from experts in the field."
Mike Sloan
Managing Director at Technical composite systems (TCS), South Devon, UK
