Chimneys, horns and ailerons
McLaren Group represents one of the very best British brands out there, encompassing innovation and deployment of cutting-edge tech and one I have huge admiration for. This is something fundamental that really resonates with our vision at 1fs Wealth.
Whilst the end product with McLaren is a car (although during Covid they generously turned their hand to manufacturing ventilators for hospitals) both road and racing, the company remains at heart all about innovation. In a similar way, 1fs Wealth is a technology company but the products we deploy are designed to be ‘a way of life’ delivering seamless solutions to control and increase wealth.
I was recently honoured to be invited on a private tour of the McLaren factory to talk all things tech innovation and cars. Huge thanks to George Farquhar, Global VIP Relations Manager at McLaren, for his generous time and sharing such interesting facts - I learnt a lot!
By the way - 'chimney, horns and ailerons' refers to the aerodynamic aids on an F1 car. One of the many facts I learnt was that the company's batch of PhDs come up with a new innovation every 14 minutes!
This is the power of what I call ‘big brain arbitrage’, and just imagine what we can do with AI augmenting our biological brains in the short to medium term, across all sectors, including wealth management.
