ashortwalk is a product design company based near Truro, Cornwall. Started in 2003 by Dan who left his previous job as a product designer/inventor at Dyson and moved to Cornwall in order to realise a long-held desire: to set up a business, and live, 'ashortwalk' from the sea.

From the humble beginnings of a shed in the back garden and a few new product ideas the business has come along way in 5 years. We now design, manufacture and supply a broad range of products for such companies as: wwf, John Lewis, Amnesty International, Oxfam, RNLI as well as over 350 independent shops in the UK.

The key to staying competitive in the global market from a shed in Cornwall has always been to design and manufacture unique, functional products. We are no longer in a shed, but our philosophy is still the same............ and most importantly we are ashortwalk from the beach.
