Nick Fry is a British business executive with significant experience in the automotive sector. He began his career at Ford Motor Company in 1977, progressing from sales to product planning. At Ford, he contributed to developing models such as the Ford Escort Cosworth and the RS200. In the early 1990s, Nick worked at Aston Martin, where he oversaw the development and launch of the DB7. He rejoined Ford in 1995 as director of service engineering within the customer service division. In January 2001, Nick became managing director of Prodrive and later took on the role of group managing director. He led the company's expansion into outsourced engineering services, significantly growing its presence in the UK. Nick was appointed managing director of BAR F1 in 2002 while maintaining his responsibilities at Prodrive. Under his leadership, BAR finished second in the 2004 FIA F1 World Constructors Championship. From 2005 to 2008, Fry was instrumental in the Honda F1 Team, investing in the team's headquarters and infrastructure, which attracted technical director Ross Brawn. In 2009, Nick and Brawn faced challenges when Honda withdrew from Formula 1 due to the global financial crisis. They secured Mercedes engines for the season and redesigned the car, resulting in a competitive vehicle that won eight races and the constructors championship. After Mercedes Benz acquired the Brawn team in 2010, Fry left the organisation in 2012.
