From Concept to Production

Mark is highly experienced in all kinds of product development and specialises in battery design, with 18 years designing products for the Film and Broadcast industries. Conseptualising and overseeing projects all the way through to production, with  numerous products currently in use by major broadcast companies and freelance ENG’s (Electronic News Gatherers), including the BBC, Reuters, Sky News and many others. This was done while working at a World leading broadcast product manufacturer, PAG Ltd.

 

A large number of Mark’s custom designs are in  currently the field including the unique power system for Wild Images ‘Wing Cam’ designed while working for PAG Ltd

 

Mark has over 30 years experience working on MoD and Military products and is accustomed to the technicalities and procurement processes  required.

In any aspect of manufacturing, if your product designs stand still they go backwards. This will give your competitors an advantage you can’t afford them to have.

 

We can offer full product development support by analysing what the your competitors in your market are doing, and offer the best practical advice on the way forward for your company and your products. We have found over the years that often minor modifications to an existing product can produce significant marketability and give you the edge over your competitors, or put you on a par with them if they have something new to offer.

 

We have over 14 years experience in Research & Development at the cutting edge of battery, charger, and camera-top lighting technology so you can be confident of the best service and advice available.
