Mr Martin Bevan
TLC (now VEE Ltd) exists to strengthen the UK’s engineering and manufacturing talent pipeline by giving teachers, trainers, and employers the tools, confidence, and industry alignment they need to deliver modern technical skills. Its core purpose is to close the widening gap between what industry requires and what education is currently resourced to teach, ensuring learners at every stage can access high‑quality, relevant, and inspiring engineering learning.
VEE focuses on building a coherent, employer‑connected ecosystem that supports educators, engages industry, and empowers learners. At its heart is the belief that teachers are the single most important factor in shaping future engineers. VEE therefore develops practical, classroom‑ready teaching resources, CPD programmes, and digital tools that translate real industrial technologies—automation, fluid power, robotics, smart manufacturing—into accessible learning experiences.
The company works directly with employers, FE colleges, schools, and training providers to ensure curriculum content reflects current and emerging technologies. This includes designing industry‑aligned learning modules, supporting qualification development, and helping organisations embed automation, sustainability, and modern manufacturing practices into their teaching. VEE also champions regional talent development through initiatives such as the Genius Pool, connecting students, NEETs, educators, and employers into a shared skills community.
Its focus extends beyond technical content: VEE aims to rebuild confidence in engineering education by supporting new teachers, addressing shortages, and providing structured pathways for industry professionals transitioning into teaching. By combining decades of engineering expertise with deep knowledge of the education landscape, VEE positions itself as a national driver for modern, industry‑ready technical learning.
In essence, VEE Ltd exists to make engineering education stronger, more relevant, and more connected—ensuring the next generation of UK engineers is ready for the technologies shaping tomorrow’s manufacturing economy.
