• Halcyon appoints former McLaren CEO Mike Flewitt and ex-Rolls-Royce leaders Graham Biggs and Graham Lenden to its advisory board.
  • The trio will support both Halcyon’s growth, and the expansion of the company’s proprietary 800-V electric architecture to broader markets through its new engineering arm, Evice Technologies.
  • 2026 production of Halcyon remastered Rolls-Royce cars is fully reserved; reservations for 2027 are now open.
  • Evice Technologies commences confidential electrification programme for external vehicle manufacturer.
  • Capital raise in progress to expand Evice Technologies and accelerate Halcyon’s scale-up in response to strong demand.

Halcyon has named three high-profile appointments to its advisory board, former McLaren Automotive CEO Mike Flewitt and ex-Rolls-Royce directors Graham Biggs and Graham Lenden, to support the founding team.

The trio will assist Halcyon’s expansion and, through the company’s newly created technology arm, Evice Technologies, accelerate the commercialisation of its proprietary 800-V electric architecture.

This news follows the success of Halcyon’s debut vehicle programme, with all 2026 build slots for the Halcyon Remastered Rolls-Royce Corniche sold out following its announcement earlier this year.

A capital raise is currently in progress to increase Halcyon’s production capacity in response to growing international demand, while bringing its proprietary innovations to broader markets through Evice Technologies.

Matthew Pearson, CEO of Halcyon & Evice Technologies, commented:
“Mike Flewitt, Graham Biggs, and Graham Lenden join us at the perfect time, as we expand to meet Halcyon and Evice Technologies’ demand, serving clients around the world. Their knowledge and expertise are a powerful asset, and their confidence in our vision is a great endorsement of the team’s incredible work to date. It has been an absolute pleasure working together, and we’re only just getting started!”

Mike Flewitt is an experienced automotive industry executive and the former CEO of McLaren Automotive. From 2012 to 2021, he tripled McLaren Automotive’s annual production and introduced the P1, Speedtail and category-defining Super Series cars.

Mike Flewitt, Advisor at Halcyon & Evice Technologies, said:
“As a former Rolls-Royce and Bentley director, I was deeply impressed by the quality and execution of Halcyon’s stunning remastered Rolls-Royces and Bentleys, with impressive enhancements to the classic attributes across the entire car.

“While getting to know Matthew, Charlie, and Will better, I have grown a deep respect for the technology they’ve developed with Evice Technologies, and how Halcyon is leveraging it to produce the most incredible cars.

“I look forward to sharing my experience in the industry over the last forty years with this amazing team.”

Flewitt is joined by Graham Biggs and Graham Lenden, who bring a wealth of communications and strategic experience from the luxury-automotive industry.

Previously Global Corporate Communications Director at Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, Biggs led the brand’s global relaunch before spending 16 years as Corporate Communications Director on the board of BMW Group UK, overseeing eight UK & Ireland entities and the award-winning global debut of MINI. At Halcyon, he brings a deep understanding of the luxury automotive market and customer base.

Graham Biggs, Advisor at Halcyon & Evice Technologies, commented:
“It’s a pleasure to work with such energetic founders, and their creative and skilful team of engineers and designers. The quality of their work is exceptional and their drive to breathe new life into these pivotal classic cars is inspiring. I am delighted to be able to share my experience with them, particularly from my years at Rolls-Royce, which were some of the happiest in my working life.”

Graham Lenden held key roles at Bentley Motors and Aston Martin Lagonda before becoming Rolls-Royce’s Global CMO. He led the immensely successful Rolls-Royce Ghost launch, which quadrupled annual sales to 3,500 units. Graham plays an important role in the development of Evice Technologies as both a brand and business, supporting its expansion as a leading provider of proprietary EV tech.

Graham Lenden, Advisor at Halcyon & Evice Technologies, added:
“Matthew, Charlie and Will have selected the ideal iconic brands to showcase their high voltage electric technology. Rolls-Royce and Bentley motor cars must always be the epitome of elegance and refinement, propelled by an instantaneous tidal wave of torque, delivered without stress, in silence. Electric propulsion is the perfect fit. I am hugely enjoying bringing nearly 40 years of global commercial C-Suite experience in ‘blue chip’ supercars and a previous electric drivetrain start-up to help drive Evice Technologies’ proprietary, modular technology into multiple product categories.”

The trio’s commercial and brand-building expertise supports the founders’ vision to build the best electric cars in the world, and to unlock next-gen electrification for global automotive, marine, and defence vehicle manufacturers pursuing a zero-emission future.

South West homeowners face seven-day waits for urgent repairs as tradie shortages continue to bite Fix Radio analysis shows the South West is among the slowest regions for urgent fixes, while Plymouth records one of the longest city-level waits in the UK The South West records an average 7-day wait for an urgent tradie fix. Plymouth records one of the longest city-level waits in the dataset, at 10 days. Across the 17 cities surveyed, the average wait for an urgent fix is just over 6 days. CITB says the UK construction industry needs to recruit the equivalent of 239,300 extra workers between 2025 and 2029. Analysis from Fix Radio shows that homeowners in the South West are facing an average seven-day wait for an urgent tradesperson fix, placing the region among the slower parts of the UK for repair response times. Based on Fix Radio’s analysis of city-level urgent repair wait-time data from Markel Direct’s Censuswide survey of UK homeowners, the findings point to continued pressure on trades capacity, local demand and labour availability across the region. The national picture remains highly uneven. The East of England records the shortest average wait at three days, followed by the North East on four days, the North West on 4.5 days and London on five. Wales and the South East each average six days, Yorkshire and the Humber sits at 6.5, while the South West, West Midlands, Scotland and Northern Ireland all come in at seven days. At the other end of the scale, the East Midlands records the longest average delay at nine days, leaving a six-day gap between the fastest and slowest regional averages in the dataset. The research also found that 44% of homeowners have already delayed repairs because of the cost of hiring a tradesperson, while city-level data shows waits stretching as high as 10 days in Plymouth for urgent issues. That makes the South West one of the clearest examples of how regional pressure can build when local demand, household repair needs and labour constraints begin to overlap. Set against a construction workforce already under strain, the figures point to a region where availability remains a growing issue for both customers and tradespeople. CITB forecasts that the industry will need to recruit the equivalent of 239,300 extra workers between 2025 and 2029, with the UK construction workforce expected to reach around 2.75 million by 2029. From Fix Radio’s perspective, the findings reflect a wider story around availability, local demand and the challenge of keeping enough skilled people in the pipeline. Waiting times are not only a sign of homeowner frustration. They also show where order books are full, where capacity is tight and where the wider conversation around skills and recruitment is becoming harder to ignore. In the South West, where regional averages are already above the national benchmark and Plymouth stands out as one of the slowest locations in the dataset, that pressure is becoming increasingly visible.
