Hillcrest Returns to United Kingdom
Last month, members of Hillcrest’s team, including CEO, Don Currie, Strategic Advisor, Dan Coker and CCO, James Bolen, completed a successful tour of the United Kingdom. During the trip, the team presented at an invitation-only event hosted by Global Partnership Family Offices (GPFO), attended several meetings with automotive manufacturers and suppliers and numerous financial institutions.
This tour created new interest in the Company, and as a result, Hillcrest CEO, Don Currie, has been invited to return to London this week for a series of follow-up meetings. He will be meeting with several family offices and other potential new investors. In addition, another round of meetings have been scheduled with several of the automotive manufacturers and suppliers to discuss potential co-development opportunities for the Company’s ZVS technology.
Don Currie expressed his enthusiasm, stating, “We appear to have garnered earnest interest in the UK and intend to harness this momentum to secure new investment and commercialization opportunities.”
