Andrew Jeffrey
Chief Executive Officer @ Scorpion Automotive Ltd
About
I run Scorpion Automotive Group, a British manufacturer and operator of vehicle security, stolen vehicle recovery, telematics products and speed control. We have been designing and building in Chorley since 1973. Our kit protects vehicles for OEMs including Aston Martin, BMW Motorrad, Caterham, Renault, Subaru, Toyota, DAF Trucks, Triumph and Norton, and for hundreds of thousands of private and fleet customers. The group operates several brands: ScorpionTrack (cars, vans, HGV, plant, marine), Datatool (motorcycle), Autokontrol (speed control), Ghost Installations (immobilisers), Tracker Team and Tracker Shop (aftermarket telematics). We run our own 24/7 Secure Operating Centre, design our own hardware and firmware, and manufacture on our own SMT line to IATF 16949 standards. I came up through software engineering and DevOps consulting before joining Scorpion as CTO, then COO, and now CEO. That background shapes how I run the business. We are investing heavily in our next-generation platform, AutoM8, which ships video telematics and field service management built in rather than sold as uplifts. I write here about stolen vehicle recovery, British manufacturing, running a multi-brand group, and how AI is actually paying back in a mid-market operating business.
