About
“Who said composites can’t be industrialised? We’ve proven they can be manufactured at scale and meet stringent regulatory standards. It’s all about being fit for purpose.”
Cecence is on a mission to bring the understanding and benefits of sustainable and lightweight composites to industry, explaining how, when and why to consider composites to gain competitive advantage.
OUR HISTORY
We start knowing it needs to be practical and repeatable.
Cecence Founders came from industries entrenched in composite magic. Hundreds of bespoke, handcrafted components. Where’s the scale in that? So they set out on a new mission to prove to industry that composites CAN be considered at an industrial level, and developed the materials, processes and technology to deliver high-quality composite components at scale.
Cecence was formed at the start of 2014 to harness the skills of a team of independent composite engineers and innovators who have worked together on a number of marine, motorsport, rail and construction projects over the last decade.
The Cecence team are specialists in innovative design and problem-solving. They are experts in the industrialisation of bespoke systems previously used by narrow market sectors
Humphrey Bunyan
Co-Founder, CTO (Chief Technical Officer) & Head of Innovation Humphrey has spent his entire career problem solving and developing new and innovative ideas.
He is one of the pioneers of the use of composite cables in the rigging industry responsible for cable design and for the industrialisation of cable production processes. This has hugely enhanced the commercial viability of using cutting-edge carbon composite technologies in less niche markets.
His work over the last two years has been increasingly focused on the development of sustainable materials and products, both in terms of proprietary bio-resin formulations and recycled and natural fibre reinforcements.
Humphrey is also a Fellow of The Royal Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures & Commerce and a Member of the Institution of Engineering & Technology.
Samantha Bunyan
Co-Founder, Creative Director, CCO (Chief Communications Officer) & Head of Industry Engagement Samantha‘s focus is on coordinating collaborative development programmes, harnessing investment in new technologies and sustainable materials and promoting the company’s brand.
She is responsible for communicating the company’s messaging and its emphasis on the need for low energy production methods, recycled materials, natural fibres and bio-based resins focusing as much on healthy materials as their ability to reduce weight.
Samantha is an Innovate UK Women in Innovation 2020-21 Award winner and won FAC Woman in Aerospace Award 2018. A Fellow of the RSA she utilises her skills from her career prior to Cecence in the creative and media sectors and brings a STEAM approach to her work.
MEET THE TEAM
Cecence is an end-to-end composite partner, from scaled manufacture right down to initial concept development.
Our teams stretch along the whole length of the TRL spectrum, with engineers and designers to turn ideas into concepts and development teams who ensure the end result is practical, compliant and fit for purpose, and the teams to deliver volume manufacture. Behind them all, the operations team ensures quality is controlled, and that finance and business development processes work like clockwork.
