Founded in 1978, TSC has developed a global reputation for its high-fidelity simulation platforms, which are used for operator training, system validation and engineering studies across a wide range of industrial sectors including oil and gas, nuclear, utilities, food production and pharmaceuticals. The Nottingham-based company’s bespoke solutions replicate the behaviour of real-world plant and control systems, helping clients to improve safety, performance and decision making.
TSC’s systems have been deployed in over 30 countries and are trusted by major clients such as BP, Shell, ExxonMobil and Petronas. The company’s simulators are also widely used by educational institutions and support industry standard training programmes for process operators and asset managers, including major emergency response courses. Its models can be used in diverse training environments, from standalone PCs to fully networked virtual control rooms.
Led by CEO Andrew Bolton, who joined the company in 2007 and succeeded his father, founder Michael Bolton, in 2022, TSC remains a family-owned business focused on combining deep industry expertise with innovative simulation solutions.
The funding will support the company’s next phase of growth, including the expansion of its team, investment in software development, and the launch of new products. Among these are tools aligned with the transition to renewable energy, such as hydrogen production, where the company is seeing increasing demand, particularly from the education sector.
