Working with business
Consultancy services
Whether you're an inventor with a fresh idea, a small company wishing to develop a new product, or a large organisation looking to 'spin-out' ideas in new directions, we can help. We offer an initial one hour consultation meeting free of charge. We will give you an honest appraisal of your project and outline how we could help.
The road from a 'beer mat sketch' to the market place is broadly similar whether the product is a fork or a Ford. There's clearly a massive difference in terms of scale and effort, but the main goal is ensuring you develop the right product for the right market at the right time.
We offer full assistance at every stage of the process. Perhaps you have a concept, but no idea how the final product might look. Maybe you've got as far as a few sketches and need help to push through the detail toward the goal. Perhaps you need some first class prototypes to try out or convince investors. We have the expertise and equipment to solve your problems - large or small!
Contact us
If you have any questions don't hesitate to contact us. Developing a product can be a very expensive process. We believe in straightforward, no-nonsense advice - this approach will always save money in the long run.
