1st June 2005 - Rod McLellan Associates Consultancy Services Relaunched

ROD MCLELLAN ASSOCIATES are pleased to announce that with immediate effect, they are to resume the provision of professional consultancy services in the areas of braking and friction material technology.

In addition to the previously supported areas of advanced friction material formulation, processing technology, and brake testing, two new professional services have been introduced to assist low volume and specialist Vehicle Manufacturers in the forthcoming area of UK National Vehicle Type Approval, and in the provision of highest quality product marketing and presentation services.

As a condition upon the funding of BTI Ltd, Rod McLellan Associates has been subject to an enforced restriction preventing the provision of consultancy services.

Following the departure of Rod McLellan, and the two other original company founders from the BTI Ltd management team, Rod McLellan Associates are now pleased to be able to resume professional consultancy services to the worldwide braking and friction material industry after a two year absence.

Founded in the USA in 2000 by senior consultant Rod McLellan, ROD MCLELLAN ASSOCIATES provides confidential professional technical consultancy services to Vehicle Manufacturers, Tier one, Tier two and aftermarket suppliers in the areas of friction pairs, all aspects of friction material technology, product marketing, product presentation, product approval, and UK National Vehicle Type Approval. The Company has relocated its head office to the United Kingdom, and the existing base of Associates has been strengthened to further enhance client support.
