Nick Jones

Founder & Director

Nick Jones’s responsibilities include overseeing Supacat’s product family and providing strategic oversight of our technical development.

Nick began in engineering over 40 years ago, as an apprentice with FJ Edwards of Chard. He later moved to Portland Group in Bath where he developed a prototype Hover Land Rover and various special-purpose vehicles. It is here his passion for developing and manufacturing cross-country vehicles began.

In 1981 Nick and business partner David Clayton founded Supacat to develop what is now known as the Supacat 6x6. Buoyed early on by strong UK Ministry of Defence demand for the All-Terrain Mobility Platform (ATMP), both our military and commercial markets have grown well since and ‘Supacat' is an established brand name.

A shared interest in gliding led the partnership to produce a launching winch, glider transport trailer and handling trolley.
