Why Payroll Matters

Welcome to "Ask The Expert", Silverstone Technology Cluster’s podcast. In each episode, we invite seasoned professionals and industry leaders to share their insights, experiences, and strategies for navigating the complexities of modern business and the advanced engineering landscape.   In this episode, we’re joined by Estelle Sherman and Joanne Roberts from TC Group’s Payroll Team.

Welcome to "Ask The Expert", Silverstone Technology Cluster’s podcast. In each episode, we invite seasoned professionals and industry leaders to share their insights, experiences, and strategies for navigating the complexities of modern business and the advanced engineering landscape.  In this episode, we sit down with Nick Silvester, Managing Partner at IP Asset and Chartered British and European Patent Attorney. We unpack how to spot IP as it's being generated, from solving day-to-day technical problems to building up a company's background IP over time. Nick explains why founders, engineers and scientists so often undervalue their own contributions, and why keeping good records of the problems you solve is one of the most powerful (and underused) tools for building IP value.  For growth-stage technical businesses in particular, Nick shares why IP should be considered early, not just when a dispute or deal forces the issue, and how it can be used as a genuine driver of company value, not simply a legal safety net.   Meet our expert: Nick Silvester – Managing Partner at IP Asset Nick is a Chartered British and European Patent Attorney and leads IP Asset's engineering and software & AI team. He spent 18 years as a Race Engineer and Design Engineer in motorsport and automotive industries, including the FIA World Touring Car Championship where he contributed to World Championship victories in 2012, 2014–2017. He was also involved in Nissan's ZEOD zero emission Le Mans entry and development of the Nissan Juke R.  Since joining IP Asset, Nick has built a wealth of experience supporting clients with commercially driven IP strategy and protection, helping them recognise where they are creating value, put the appropriate protection in place, and navigate everything from collaborations and joint ventures to the ownership of new ideas and existing know-how.  Away from work, Nick enjoys rowing, cycling and skiing, and maintains a strong interest in anything involving an internal combustion engine.  This episode is brought to you by ⁠⁠TC Group⁠⁠.

Together, we unpack the limitations of today’s systems, why our growing reliance on DC-powered devices is changing the energy landscape, and how this new model could improve efficiency and reduce infrastructure demands. Chris takes us through how the system works, the role of bi-directional energy flow, and why this idea hasn’t been widely adopted. We also look at how it compares to existing solutions, what it would take to implement at scale, and the real-world implications for cost, materials, and energy transition.  Meet our expert:  Chris Moller is a Cambridge-educated Chartered Engineer, a visiting Fellow at the Open University with 50 years’ experience of electricity systems and digital electronics.  He is active in International Electrical Standards Committees, and is currently managing electricity supply projects running in East and West Africa.  This episode is brought to you by ⁠⁠TC Group⁠⁠.
