How do we work together?

We provide our expert services under contract either on a full-time or fractional basis. Need us to be on-site? Provisionally, that’s no problem. Please get in touch with us to discuss your requirements.

  • Do you have a specific self-contained body of work that you’re looking for someone to complete? Whether you’re looking for help to compile the brief or ready to go; we can help.

  • This options works well for those interested in short term use of a specific area of our expertise or experience.

What can we offer you?

With over 12 years of developing products for manufacture — from scrappy, fast-moving startups to global OEMs with complex supply chains — tuning the level of detail to fit the stage, size, and priorities of the business is in our wheelhouse.

Planning & Process

  • Process & planning are critical to ensure successful project delivery, but it has to be done well to avoid bogging a team down in bureaucracy & admin.

Product Compliance

  • Compliance with standards, directives & legislation can often seem a daunting topic with a small team. Having lived that experience multiple times, we can help make the task more approachable.

    Similarly, we can also assist with performing these activities retrospectively in scenarios such as an in-field product fault or a product safety investigation..
