We appreciated their capability of responding to special requirements, such as working directly with our workshop. As a result of this process they produced a set of interactives, which all worked very well and which were visually highly appealing. Many thanks!”

Our services
Many clients like to use our complete package; concept design and idea generation, right through to installation and maintenance. However, other clients appreciate the flexible nature of our business and even choose to involve us half way through their project. We've also been employed to upgrade and repair products and exhibits made by other companies.
A more in-depth view of our expertise:
Concept Development & Idea Generation
- The brainstorming session, normally face-to-face and accompanied with copious amounts of coffee and chocolate, is just the start of this process. Afterwards we work on producing hand-drawings and/or Google Sketchup drawings to help crystallise the ideas we discussed.
Design
- The technical part – taking the concept sketch/idea and developing it so that it can actually be built! If only it were that easy. Our team produce full 3D drawings for you to view (free through eDrawings) so you know exactly what you’re getting – no hidden surprises – you’ll even see what screws we plan on using.
Electronic Design
- Electronics regularly lie at the heart of a project. All aspects of electronic design are done in-house. We seamlessly integrate electronic solutions with hardware and software solutions, both of which are also done in-house. Recently we've been using arduino and phidgets systems; both of which can be easily updated, either by the client or us.
Software
- Our team develop intuitive, dynamic, branded user interfaces that provide a superior on-screen experience for the user. We are happy working in a variety of software environments and always try to choose something that suits the client and ensures the product is future-proof.
Graphic Design
- Often an integral part of the solution, we are comfortable in the use of numerous tools for graphic design, layout and web design. We also have some excellent graphic designers that can work with us on specific projects.
New Technology
- We have the skills base to work with cutting-edge technologies; meaning that we can take on projects that perhaps others can’t.
Prototyping
- Often an over-looked step, but we highly recommend prototyping on all bespoke projects; that is of course if we haven’t already done it on a previous project, in which case we’ll give you the benifit of our knowledge for free.
Manufacture
- As well as our in-house capabilities we manage a small group of specialist contractors with whom we have a long-standing relationship, giving our clients access to quality design and engineering at affordable prices.
Installation
- Totally dependent on the client and the venue but quite often it is preferable to have your item installed by the people who built it.
Maintenance
- We offer a comprehensive cover on all projects we work on. We even repair and upgrade projects that were not built by us!
