Who are we

80% of the world’s supply chain depends upon H&C’s data science. We deliver solutions in a diverse range of domains, including offshore wind turbine optimisation, minimising environmental impact of Railways, improving resilience of global shipping lanes, and reducing the amount of timber required by the world’s largest pallet network. Join our mission to develop the most innovative and impactful data science in the world.

The Role

We make innovative use of simulation, network science, and game theory. Our models generate synthetic data which is analysed using Bayesian and frequentist statistical techniques.
