Established in 2011, Synoptix was founded by Dave Durant and Justin Mountjoy. Together, they have more than 60 years’ experience in engineering solutions and have built an exceptional team, of the highest calibre and integrity.

Meritocracy is in the company DNA. This allows us to focus on ability, industry and intelligence - a formula whose success is reflected in the quality and capability of our personnel. This is how we’ve grown our reputation as the pre-eminent choice for blue-chip companies needing Systems Engineering capabilities.

What sets us apart?

Our customers trust us because we provide them with:

Improved cost effectiveness

Our multidisciplinary expertise spans commercial, financial and resource management aspects of complex projects, and our extensive experience in work package definition means that we can ensure a “right first time” approach. Plus, our flexible business structure means we pull together exactly the right team for each project and avoid wasting resources.

Assured quality

Our high-calibre, scarce-skills Subject Matter Experts bring specific domain and discipline knowledge to each project.

Reduced risk

Our collaborative approach means we listen carefully and work closely with our customers through consultation, team assembly, integration and execution phases. And our extensive experience means we understand how to apply the right processes and methodologies to meet the unique demands of each engineering project or programme. We also analyse previous customer projects, which informs risk reduction for current and future customers.

Transparency

We have a transparent and clear approach, openly sharing information and intentions to foster trust and understanding.

Collaboration

Our thorough and collaborative customer discovery phases are crucial because they de-risk complexity from the outset, set the tone for success and ensure the development of trusted partnerships.

Innovation

We pride ourselves on continued innovation and have created proprietary products via numerous joint research programmes – particularly in Cyber Security, AI, Machine Learning and Vision Learning technologies. This evolving work is providing solutions to complex issues for National Security and Critical National Infrastructure. In house, our “Spark Box” ideas and innovation process brings our teams ideas together to develop our expertise.

Our strengths

Synoptix is at its most effective when commissioned to undertake discrete packages of work, exercising independent control over a set of agreed and contracted objectives.

At the same time, we appreciate that this approach may not suit every circumstance and we pride ourselves on our ability to devise unique bespoke solutions at different service levels. We may, for example, initially recommend team augmentation or consultancy support, both of which may be the first steps towards establishing a long-term partnership.

On the other hand, we might be asked to turbocharge the development of a company’s inhouse systems engineering capability. Whatever the scenario, our recommendation will always be based on a combination of unparalleled engineering and commercial know-how and will be executed with confidence, expertise and integrity.
