Since inception, QR_ has grown where the data has taken us, becoming a truly global community of specialists serving a range of engineering and manufacturing organisations across diverse sectors. We are like consultants, but better. We’re analysts, project managers, technical wizards and communication experts, but most of all we’re thinkers and doers who solve complex problems, propose smart solutions and then back up our words with actions.

From our global advisory team to local pool of deployable expertise, we can rapidly be on-hand to help address the business challenges you face from the ground up. With recent advances in remote working, we can also ensure the expertise you need is available regardless of geographic location, in support of a collaborative team approach to realise the successful outcomes our clients need and rightly demand from us.

“Where it all started”

Founded by Rob Ferrone and Adam Grant in 2003, two self-confessed “Excel types who saw a gap in the market and wanted to create a fun company of like-minded data geeks”.

Adam Blomerley joined as CEO shortly after, setting about scaling firm to help achieve the goal of PDM ‘world domination’, growing from a team of four into a global consultancy of over 300 people.

Rob and Adam forged eastward and established the Cologne business unit in 2006, while 2019 saw Munich join the German roster and Valencia headquarter the Southern Europe business unit, serving clients across Spain and Italy.

Recent projects have seen a QR_ presence in Sweden and France, with the European business serving the full spectrum of QR_ clientele from our traditional base in automotive through aerospace, defence, battery tech, robotics and medical devices to apparel.
