The Mother Of Invention

Tuesday, January 31st, 2012

Innovate Design features in the most recent issue of New Design Magazine (94). Editor Alastair Welch recently visited our design studios to find out what we do and how we do it.

“The workshop at Innovate Product Design’s Salisbury headquarters feels like a cross between Q’s laboratory for the James Bond films and the set of the BBC business show Dragons’ Den. Amidst the bare-brick walls, machines and gizmos, one half expects to bump into Desmond Llewellyn pitching a fountain pen that fires poisin darts to an unimpressed Duncan Bannatyne. It is a fitting home for a business that specialises in using design to help individual inventors and entrepreneurs realise an idea and take it to market.”

Dragons’ Den success for Innovate client BoginaBag!

Tuesday, August 30th, 2011

There was success in the Dragons’ Den this week for one of Innovate’s clients Kate Castle with her ingenious solution for those caught short on the move. Kate secured an investment of £50,000 for a 30% stake of her business from retail sector expert Theo Paphitis. After a thorough grilling from the Dragons in the Den, Kate did enough to convince Theo that her product was worth the investment!

Kate approached Innovate originally in 2008 looking for assistance in the development of her idea primarily aimed potentially at the camping and festival market and we were more than happy to help! From here, our team of product designers helped Kate with the development of her concept and have provided support from this point onwards.

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

Bijou Boxes recommends Innovate

Tuesday, May 10th, 2011

“I used Innovate to design a contemporary Jewellery Box which I created to store charms and beads as well as other jewellery and brought to the market in February 2011. I presented them with my ideas and a cardboard version and they turned my ideas into fantastic graphics which I was then able to use to present to the market ahead of my prototype. Fast, efficient and extremely professional, I would highly recommend Innovate Design. They took a real interest in my product and made this stage of product innovation very easy for me.” Cheryl Phillips, Bijou Boxes, www.bijouboxes.co.uk
