Parry was a leader of the 9 million Euro European Integrated Logistics for Innovative Product Technologies project (ILIPT).[3][4] The project's main purpose is research and production descriptions of how a build to order[5] system may be implemented for European vehicle manufacture. The key findings were presented to the European Commission and industry[6] and were detailed in a book "Build to Order"[7] In the project German OEMs were also involved,[8] the project has garnered international interest.[9][10][11]

Parry's worked on Blockchain research as CoDirector of the UK Centre for Decentralised Digital Economy.[12] He spoke on the Oxford Union Society webinar series on Blockchain and Supply Chains.[13] His work capturing the learning from the Reducing Friction in International Trade (RFIT) blockchain system[14] forms part of the UK Government 2025 Border Strategy.[15]· He has worked closely with Cabinet Office and HMRC on the development of pilot systems for border trade management.

In the creative sector, Parry was part of Bristol and Bath by Design, examining design companies in the Bristol and Bath region, to better understand the economic and cultural value of the design-led sector. The work led to the book Migration, Mobility and the Creative that found a nexus between migration and occupation patterns of creative workers and early family experiences and social class. The work challenges Florida's thesis that creative workers have unique characteristics and create vibrant cities. The work recommends that for success, policy redirect its focus towards creating places with good schools, affordable housing, sustainable jobs and strong connections across communities.
