Lone Star Analysis, an Addison-based company specializing in predictive analytics and AI solutions, has opened its new headquarters in Lincoln, England, a move necessitated by Lone Star’s rapid growth in the U.K. and enhancing its ability to serve customers in the United Kingdom, Europe, and the Middle East.
The occasion was marked by a formal ribbon cutting ceremony attended by Air Chief Marshal Sir Richard Knighton, chief of air staff, who officially opened the facility, joined by other members of the Royal Air Force and guests from the Lincoln area.
That military presence highlighted the importance of Lone Star’s move, “especially in the context of national security,” the company said. The HQ is located within the Lincoln Science and Innovation Park (LSIP), near the University of Lincoln, which Lone Star said shows a focus on collaboration and innovation in advanced technology.
“We’re very pleased to be located in the Lincoln Science and Innovation Park,” Group Captain (Ret.) Robin Adlam, managing director of Lone Star Analysis Ltd., said in a statement. “The location, as a constituent part of the LSIP, adjacent to the University of Lincoln, is a perfect combination. Not only has the LSIP community embraced our arrival, with support from the LSIP staff and associated LSIP companies, the University of Lincoln is proving to be an invaluable resource. And having a base in Lincoln geographically positions us to support our key RAF customers.”
Rapid growth in the U.K., while keeping its London offices
Lone Star said it intends to leverage the Lincoln site to expand offerings in AI and solutions for customers outside the defense community, in addition to current offerings in defense and energy. The company said it plans to keep its current London offices, but that the Lincoln headquarters will be its targeted location for growth and new jobs in the U.K.
“Lone Star Analysis Ltd. has been a gratifying launch,” said Steve Roemerman, CEO of Lone Star Aerospace, the U.S. affiliate of Lone Star Analysis Ltd. “We’re already seeing innovations in the U.K., especially around the health sector, which we hope to export to the U.S. We’re thrilled with the company’s rapid growth in such a short span of time.”
The company said that moving Lone Star’s headquarters to the Alchemy building in Lincoln aligns with its strategic expansion in other locations, including Patuxent River, Maryland; Dayton, Ohio; and Oslo, Norway.
“It has been extremely rewarding to watch the Lone Star Analysis Ltd. team grow,” Air Vice-Marshal (Ret.) Gary Waterfall said in a statement. “They have engaged with a wide range of customers and are already serving customers outside the U.K.”
Waterfall, who also serves as a director for the firm, went on to say, “Enhancing value for money within the [Ministry of Defence], and assisting an optimization of fleets during these operationally testing times are our immediate focus, all whilst extending the U.K.’s reach abroad.”
