Reed Mobility is an independent research consultancy founded and run by Prof. Nick Reed. Nick was formerly Academy Director at TRL (the UK’s Transport Research Laboratory), responsible for research and innovation across the business. 

With leadership of a portfolio of connected and automated vehicle projects exceeding £50m, he was recruited by Bosch (the world’s largest automotive supplier) to lead global R&D activities in urban mobility, working with cities worldwide to develop new transportation products and services. This included involvement in establishing a new co-innovation space, the London Connectory, a unique partnership between Bosch and Transport for London and destination for mobility start-ups and projects. 

Nick left Bosch in 2019 to establish Reed Mobility, working locally, nationally and internationally to support organisations in the public, private and academic sectors around mobility, innovation and strategy. Customers to date include the European Commission, the UK Department for Transport, Transport for London, BSI (British Standards Institution) and RSSB (Rail Safety and Standards Board).
