In this difficult economic environment, companies face many business challenges. To achieve the most cost effective results, they need to be able to look internally for the solution. Welsh based electronic design firm, Quantum CAD ventured to Margam Park to focus on their most valuable asset – their people.
With 1/3 of their team represents countries outside the UK (Poland, Russia and USA) communication and teamwork is key to Quantum CAD’s success. Not only do they have cultural diversity that could create business obstacles, but managing four different departments ranging from Engineering to Marketing can also make internal communication a challenge.
So how does Quantum overcome these potential hurdles to be the growing success we see today?
-Teambuilding and Training
With the help of Training Wales, Quantum CAD dedicated time to increase team communication, leadership, and enthusiasm. By working through various activities, their elite team was able to learn more about each other’s personalities and work techniques resulting in a record smashing £59.7 million in 37 second!

Steve Jones, Managing director of Quantum CAD, said: “One of our most important assets is our people. They’re highly trained, experienced and knowledgeable individuals. Investing in developing them makes good business sense. It shows we value them and that feel-good factor impacts positively throughout the business.”
Since achieving Investors in People in 2008, Quantum CAD continues to emphasize the importance of its people to the success of the organization.
“Training is a crucial part of our strategy to grow the business and help us remain at the forefront of our sector. Our ultimate aim is to become the number one centre of excellence for the electronics industry. IiP has helped us raise the profile of the company, attract superior quality staff and enhance our credibility with customers and competitors,” Steve Jones adds.
After 15 years in business, Quantum CAD has established themselves as a major contender in the PCB and electronic design community throughout UK and Europe. Its clients are drawn from various sectors including defence, aerospace, medical, telecommunications, and automotive. The firm has attracted major clients including Rolls Royce, Bosch, Sony, Panasonic, Bose, HP, Ford, McLaren, Tyco and QinetiQ and is looking to further expand into new markets throughout Europe.
Quantum CAD looks forward to watching the effects of their team building experience. They are confident that the effort out of the office will create positive numbers in the office.
“ We know £60 million (in real cash) in less than a minute is a bit of a stretch, but through a stronger team bond, increased communication and more focused company goals, we are without doubt that we are on the climb of this roller coaster economic climate” adds Heather Norbury, Marketing Manager. |
