Reygar prepare for period of high growth with university intern

Future Space members Reygar were launched in 2012 and developed their award-winning technology with support from Innovate UK.

BareFLEET is a remote monitoring system that gathers data from on board boats – such as motion and fuel consumption – to give customers an insight into how efficiently their vessels are operating and if they are performing as they should.

Founder Chris Huxley-Reynard and his team moved into Future Space in early 2020, when their technology was attracting new clients, such as Siemens, and the company was beginning to grow. 

While covid has meant life has not been plain sailing for the marine innovators, they have since gone on to create their new V-Pilot technology, which allows their customers to control unmanned vessels carrying out survey work on the seabed.

Now a team of nine people, they took on their first intern this year as part of the Future Space internship programme supported by the University of the West of England. Chris was aware that the Reygar team of engineers and “techies” were lacking the capacity for design and marketing, so he recruited intern Ashlea Philips, who is in her final year studying Animation at UWE Bristol.

Since joining the team at the end of May 2022, Ashlea has already used her skills to completely refresh the Reygar website, create a series of brochures for trade shows, and created a product video for their homepage.
