help for inventors

The ashortwalk team specialize in helping inventors take their 'good idea' through to an optimised, marketable profit making enterprise.

It is human nature to try and better things so it's not surprising that we all have product ideas of our own geared to making life better.
Too many really good ideas are abandoned because people quite rightfully don't know how turn a thought into a commercial product.

If you have a good idea but don't know how to take things further then we can help.
The team at ashortwalk have not only 'been there and done that!' with their own products, but have over the years worked for and developed a huge variety of products and graphic schemes for such companies as Dyson Ltd, BMW, Spirax Sarco, Rolls Royce ....to name a few!

Because of this depth experience ashortwalk can also call on a vast list of manufacturing, marketing and retail contacts to make sure your idea is professionally assessed.

Please call Dan on 01872 540420 or email dan@ashortwalk.com and he can discuss where to go first.
We provide a confidentiality agreement for you and ashortwalk to sign before any ideas are disclosed.
