About Will

Our founder

Will founded Davey Group to create a structured platform for engineering research, prototyping, and long-term technical development alongside his degree studies.

The group allows applied engineering projects — ranging from experimental propulsion and energy systems to digital tools and surveying work — to be developed rigorously, documented properly, and scaled responsibly over time.

Our story

Will’s background combines hands-on mechanical work, engineering study, and independent research. Rather than separating academic learning from practical experimentation, Davey Group was established to bring both together in a single framework.

Today, the group operates through specialist divisions covering engineering design, research and development, digital technologies, capital allocation, and pilot surveying projects — all under a single legal and operational structure.

I am an engineering student and technician focused on applied research, experimental development, and practical problem-solving through design and testing.

What we do

Applied Engineering & Design

Engineering design focused on practical problem-solving, prototyping, and testing. Work spans mechanical systems, digital tools, and early-stage product development.

Research & Experimental Development

Investigation of emerging technologies through hands-on experimentation, modelling, and iterative development, with a focus on energy systems and propulsion concepts.

Digital & AI-Assisted Tools

Development and use of digital tools to support engineering analysis, simulation, and decision-making, including early exploration of AI-assisted workflows.

Pilot Studies & Feasibility Work

Small-scale studies and surveys used to understand technical, infrastructure, or systems-level challenges before any larger deployment or commercial work.

Our approach

Engineering-led approach

Work is driven by engineering fundamentals, testing, and evidence rather than assumptions or presentation-led consultancy.

Davey Group exists to explore, test, and develop engineering solutions in a structured and responsible way.

Research before delivery

Problems are explored through research, modelling, and experimentation before any attempt at implementation or scale.

Appropriate scope

Projects are selected based on technical suitability and feasibility, not sales targets. Work is undertaken only where it can be done properly.

High technical standards

Development follows disciplined engineering practice, documentation, and review, even at early or experimental stages.
