Our client has become one of the leading manufacturers of low volume and high technology battery systems to a range of diverse markets. Their team pride themselves on supporting innovative, niche applications that many other manufacturers may not be capable of supporting.
The company developed a smaller battery pack to fit the design of a popular compact car, in order to support the global move from conventional fuel-type vehicles to electric. This project had several complications stemming from the need to retrofit the new battery into a classic car with little space, while ensuring high efficiency and low weight. Through research, testing and analysis, our client sourced materials that would allow them to increase the density and efficiency of the battery pack. This allowed the size and weight to reduce, while maintaining optimum power to the car engine. Additional testing was required to determine the placement and shape of the battery, and the best bonding agent to fix the pack to it's casing. We work closely with all of our clients to ensure they receive the maximum return on their investment. Our team members are experts at identifying qualifying expenditure and uncovering the hidden value in your business.

Our client is a cosmetics company specialising in luxury clinical and therapeutic products aimed at an African-British target market. Their products aim to create a step-change from the many products that contain harmful ingredients and chemicals by making use of all natural, organic formulas.
They sought an advance through the development and production of the first natural, clinically proven, therapeutic ointments aimed specifically at 4c afro hair. Understanding the various scalp conditions, adapting ingredient ratios, and extensive testing formed a part of the company’s R&D process. It was necessary to produce several prototypes to establish a balanced formulation that avoided the side effect of scalp irritation. Additionally, a further development process took place to ensure that packaging was guaranteed to be both sterile and sustainable while adhering to health and safety guidelines, providing UV protection, and fitting the required dimensions.
The result was the production of a range of all-natural, luxury therapeutic treatments that stimulate hair growth, retain moisture, and enhance overall scalp and hair health.
