Briggs Automotive Company (BAC) is set to employ a new wave of talented staff as part of its massive expansion plans, with a number of desirable roles going up for grabs with the manufacturer of the One-of-a-Kind Mono supercar.

A true British success story, BAC has achieved worldwide acclaim and success for the brilliance of its driver-focused Mono and has exported in to 30 territories around the globe so far. 

Plus, it recently launched BAC USA out of Sonoma, California, to join Liverpool and South East Asia on its official dealer roster, with no signs of slowing down anytime soon.

As such, BAC is looking to bring skilled and driven new employees to its Liverpool headquarters across numerous divisions to work with its current crop of experienced and talented professionals.

It’s currently offering six jobs to the right candidates in engineering, manufacturing, design and sales as part of its first wave of recruitment. BAC will welcome more new staff going forward to keep it at the top of the industry.

And with the future in mind, BAC recently launched its first apprenticeship scheme and took on two students from the nearby Riverside College – further demonstrating its devotion to the local area and preparation for excitement to come.

The apprentices started work on Monday 27 March, one of whom specialising in bodywork and the other will work on sub-assembly and chassis dress.

BAC Co-Founder and Director of Product Development, Neill Briggs, said: “We have a number of dream roles going up for grabs and want to invite the right candidates to come forward and be heard. Our expansion over the years has been rapid to say the least, and we’re very excited to bring in some new blood to propel us forwards once more.”

Fellow Founder and Design Director, Ian Briggs, added: “At BAC, we are very much a family who pull together to push towards their goals. We believe in quick progression at BAC and can offer a fantastic working atmosphere, an excellent social life, the chance to attend some of the most high-profile events in the automotive world and travel around the globe spreading the BAC message and basking in the glory of the Mono.”

The MONO Supercar is expanding into the USA with upto 10 dedicated dealers.

• British manufacturer Briggs Automotive Company (BAC) is continuing to take the world by storm and has officially launched BAC USA
• The brand behind the world’s only single-seater, road-legal supercar – the Mono – is now rolling out a direct Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) strategy for its operations in the United States
• BAC has enjoyed success in North America with the Mono, having exported the highly acclaimed luxury supercar with the help of distribution partners before the adoption of OEM
• BAC USA operates out of Sonoma, California, and will be headed up by BAC USA President Mark Rayner

Briggs Automotive Company (BAC) has officially launched BAC USA Inc., as the British maker of the One-of-a-Kind Mono supercar expands its operations in North America.

Having previously worked with distribution partners, BAC will now roll out a direct Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) strategy to bring factory assembly, sales and maintenance services to United States shores.

Designed to provide the most authentic driving experience, BAC’s bespoke and luxurious Mono is the only road-legal, single seater supercar in the world, and it’s taken the U.S. by storm since its launch in 2011.

Now with the facility to directly sell and service cars, BAC aims to enhance its already sterling reputation and bring the Mono to a more diverse audience and improve the BAC experience for existing customers.

BAC USA is based in Sonoma, California, with Mark Rayner overseeing the business. Mark has been involved in the North American automotive industry prior to BAC. He is taking his broad experience and is currently building a robust Stateside operation.

The brand’s dealership programme is now in full swing in the U.S., boosting its profile in major cities and states across the country.

BAC USA’s launch will bring about even more success across the country and ensure buyers have total peace of mind. The company is also providing technical support, dealer acquisition and technician training and aims to have between 8-10 dedicated dealers across the USA within the next 12 months.

Mark Rayner, BAC's Chief Operations Officer and BAC USA President, said: "This is an incredibly exciting time for BAC with the launch of BAC USA. It’s the optimum time in the evolution of the North American market for BAC to enter the region as the OEM, and I’m very proud to be leading the operation. By offering factory presence in the U.S., buyers can benefit from added peace of mind and we can attract new customers to experience the Mono."

Company co-founder and Director of Product Development Neill Briggs added: “Our venture in the United States of America is born out of extensive industry research. It’s the biggest and most informed supercar territory in the world, which is why it’s at the very top of our global sales strategy. BAC USA is another string to BAC’s bow and we’re looking forward to sharing the Mono dream across the Atlantic even more.”

Notes to Editors

Bespoke supercar manufacturer BAC (Briggs Automotive Company) is based in Liverpool and was co-founded by brothers Ian and Neill Briggs. It produces the fast and highly acclaimed Mono supercar, a single-seater formula-style car that provides a visceral and exhilarating driving experience.

Since its launch in 2011 it has been going from strength to strength and is now sold in several markets around the world. It launched with great success and fanfare in Hong Kong at the end of 2015, with eight cars sold in a single night. BAC dealers can also be found in North America, Japan and London.

The 2016 model year version of the Mono comes with a four-cylinder 305bhp 2.5-litre Mountune engine, which takes the 580kg car from 0-60mph in just 2.8sec.

BAC recently launched a carbon hybrid wheel and announced the use of super material graphene, which is up to 20 per cent lighter than carbon fibre and as much as 200 times stronger than steel.

Despite its global appeal, BAC Mono remains proudly British, with parts sourced from its home country wherever possible.

BAC and its single seater supercar has taken two prestigious awards, which goes to show how good the brad and car is.

• Briggs Automotive Company (BAC) had cause for celebration at the Northern Automotive Alliance (NAA) Awards on 10 November, securing two prestigious awards and seeing off high-profile competition
• BAC scooped the award for International Trade Award and the Logistics Excellence Award to cement its status as one of the most innovative and exciting businesses in the North
• The NAA Awards showcase the successes of vehicle manufacturers, supply chain companies and service providers in the region
• BAC is the British manufacturer behind the Mono – the world’s first single-seater, road-legal supercar

Briggs Automotive Company (BAC) landed two prestigious awards at the Northern Automotive Alliance (NAA) Awards on 10 November in Manchester, seeing off stiff competition from high-profile companies from the region.

BAC won the highly acclaimed International Trade Award as well as the Logistics Excellence Award to once again prove that it’s one of the most exciting and innovative businesses in the UK.

The International Trade Award goes to the brand that’s displayed overseas excellence and showcased the best of British abroad, and BAC was a worthy winner.

The Liverpool-based brand has exported its single-seater Mono supercar to 28 countries, including the likes of Qatar, Myanmar, Brazil and Taiwan, and broke plenty of new ground over the course of 2016.

Covering five continents is a truly impressive feat for a niche company like BAC, and NAA judges recognised the rationale and effectiveness of the company’s international trade strategy.

The Logistics Excellence Awarded was presented to the company that demonstrated all-round logistical success, innovation and, of course, excellence.

Logistics is at the heart of BAC’s business; 98 per cent of its supply chain is based in the UK and 45 per cent of its materials are sourced from around its home in the north-west of England.

BAC is proud of its British heritage and shows a great deal of commitment to the country by minimising its in-bound logistics footprint. Its outward logistics portfolio is equally impressive

BAC is no stranger to winning awards for its business prowess, having won the MIB Manufacturing Business of the Year and the Merseyside Innovation Award Overall Winner prizes back in 2014.

It’s reigned supreme at the NAA Awards before, too, landing the Innovation Award back in 2011 – a prize it was shortlisted for this year.

BAC co-founder and Director of Product Development Neill Briggs said: “To be recognised for our business achievements by the NAA is a real honour. We have a hugely talented team at BAC keeping us ticking and forever breaking new territories around the globe. We are extremely proud of our UK heritage and always strive for economic and environmental excellence in our production process.”
