Alan Clothier recommends Innovate

Monday, May 16th, 2011

“I had an idea for a product which I was not 100% sure about. I approached Innovate and spoke to Jay and Abby who, with their expertise, convinced me it was. First they searched the market for any similar products, secondly Abby put together some amazing graphics and added a few small details to make it better. With the story boards in place, they then got the idea to patent pending stage. We then contacted Philip Ingham of Wayfair Group, which has resulted in a company taking on the license to produce it. The company have just started to make the tooling machine to produce the ‘Spacer Grommet’, I could not have accomplished all of this without the help of the brilliant Innovate team.” Alan Clothier
