You'll be in good hands with Innovate Design
I had an invention, a gardening machine, and I needed someone to develop it for me. Innovate Design looked a safe bet, with praise and recommendations from the press and from Lord Sugar. They were well established and their literature inspired confidence.
What I found was that you work together. Two, or more, heads are better than one. Innovation coach Thomas Kelly brought up points about the invention that I hadn't considered, and designer Sean Irving did brilliant work turning the basic idea into a well-functioning piece of machinery, with changes and experiments along the way, always consulting me or keeping me informed. He produced impressive computer images of the machine as it will be in reality. And, all along , the invention remains entirely mine. At the time of writing this, I have begun the patent application process. I recommend Innovate Design to anyone seeking help with a creative idea.

Great company for great ideas
I would like to thank Emma from the Innovation Team for her valuable guidance and general advice on my patent idea. Her support throughout the process was greatly appreciated. The patent search was instrumental in shaping my ideas for the potential product.
I highly recommend Innovate Design to anyone looking to develop their ideas.

Very late and only 40% done, late response etc
10-15 days delivery atemp was made after 2 full weeks with 40% accuracy, then no response to phone calls or email for 10 days... Bank legal team request and refunded money after 2 month of purchase of innovative service. Got email requesting money to be paid back which was refunded by banks legal team, and month later got court letter that innovative asking to be paid £395 for service that was only 40% done.
Summary is that innovative design won't do it on time and 100% and ur money will be wasted.

Reply from Innovate Design
We are providing this response to clarify the facts surrounding your project.
Timely Delivery: You commissioned a research project that was delivered within 10 days, exactly as quoted.
Extended Scope: Our team went above and beyond the initial agreement by including two additional strategic ideas to strengthen your project's potential.
The Findings: The research accurately concluded that your initial concept was not unique. While this may not have been the result you hoped for, providing this data is the primary purpose of our service; it saved you significant time and development costs by preventing investment in a non-viable direction.
The Dispute: Following the delivery of these findings, you initiated a payment dispute with your bank, claiming the report was never received. We have documented evidence that the report was delivered in full and on time.
Innovate provides the tools and market intelligence necessary to make informed business decisions. Our service was executed perfectly according to the contract, providing excellent value by protecting you from further financial loss.
