How we work with partners

Most of the organisations listed here reach us the same two ways: they send us clients who need design and engineering, or we send them work that sits outside what we do.

Product development rarely finishes inside one company. A programme that starts as concept design ends up touching patent counsel, tooling vendors, contract manufacturers, certification labs, packaging suppliers and retail buyers. We keep design, engineering and prototyping in-house and rely on a small set of specialists for the rest, because a vetted referral is worth more to a client than a firm pretending to cover everything.

If you run an agency, a law practice, a makerspace or a manufacturing operation and your clients regularly need CAD, industrial design or a working prototype, referral partnerships are straightforward to set up. We do not charge for referrals and we do not take over the client relationship — the work is scoped, delivered and handed back.

The same applies in reverse. We are usually the ones asking who can injection-mould a small run, who does UL certification quickly, or who understands a particular retail category. If that is you, get in touch and tell us what you cover.

Partnership questions

Do you pay referral fees?

No, and we do not ask for them either. Referrals run both ways on the understanding that each side does the work it is actually good at. Keeping money out of it means a recommendation stays a recommendation rather than a sales incentive.

Will you take over my client relationship?

No. Work referred to us is scoped, delivered and handed back. If you want to stay in the loop on progress, we will copy you on updates; if you would rather step out, that is fine too.

What kinds of partners are you looking for?

Injection moulders and tooling shops that handle small runs, certification and testing labs, patent attorneys, packaging and print suppliers, and category specialists in retail. Also agencies whose clients keep asking for hardware work they do not do.
