Clients approach us with a business product
idea or a problem.
We kick off with research, brainstorm analysis and lots of head
scratching & develop
sketched solutions. We develop virtual prototypes using
Computer Aided Design - CAD Solid modelling. This data is used to
develop physical prototypes. Testing / analysis > approval and
finally manufacture ready data, issued to toolmakers or fabricators. We
bring together many disciplines, our consultancy encapsulates the
language of the
marketeer, development engineer and human factors specialist. Its clear
we take inspiration from nature in
our work and create a human centred approach, where it's important our
work to creates intrigue, emotion and fascination
through appearance and touch.
Being a small
independent firm, allows us to be flexible, to work
in a manner that best suits your business. You may be outsourcing
surplus design and need a turnkey partner, you may be a producer

to defibrllate a product range or an inventor looking to get the idea
patented, developed and manufactured. Our team of associates are used
only when
required and is one of the reasons we offer the most
competitive rates in the UK. We listen to our clients and understand in
today's economy it is more important then ever to provide the best

consultancy apart is the fact our work is personal to us. We don't
churn
out projects and take pride in the process and craftsmanship.
