Silver is a, white, lustrous metal capable of taking a high polish. Due to its extraordinary technical properties it is used in a wide range of applications. Silver is the metal with the highest electrical conductivity of all metals and is therefore essential for light- and heavy current engineering. In addition, silver is the most malleable metal after gold. Its outstanding anti-fretting properties makes it the perfect coating for high stress application such as slide bearings in the aerospace industry. South West Metal Finishing offers two types of Silver Plating which are specialised on the different properties of silver. Both types can be plated on various materials such as steel, stainless steel, copper brass and even aluminium.

71% of Yr8 and Yr9 students would now consider working for a tech or engineering-based company after hearing from the Silverstone Park Schools Programme in 2023-24. A further 75% would be interested in working for a company at Silverstone Park. The programme successfully brings employers from the park together with students to advise them about career types and pathways through a series of inspiring workshops and tours of their companies on site. Launched in 2018 in response to local employers' concerns about the skills gap, c.5,000 young people have now been reached. Plans are already afoot for the 2024-25 academic year.

The Silverstone Technology Cluster (STC) exists to help Advanced Engineering, Electronics and Software businesses in the wider geographical area surrounding Silverstone. The STC is specifically focused on the areas of: • Promotion • Support • Thought Leadership

SiMEMS board mounted accelerometers offering tactical and/or navigation grade performance designed for inertial applications. All sensors feature a compact designed housing, hermetically sealed, built-in self test and low mass. The GA50 is a high-performance open loop analogue output sensor exhibiting a VRW (residual noise) from < 1.3 μg/√Hz , the GA100-GA400 are high-performance closed-loop (acceleration compensated) to provide enhanced bias sensitivity, scale factor linearity and reduced bias sensitivity to vibrations. All are ITAR free, development boards are available on request for performance verification.
