Who we are:

Together we design for good.

We help protect people through vulnerable times.

We envisage, design and deliver innovative products, which dramatically improve peoples’ lives in challenging environments. We have an award-winning range of lifesaving products deployed in schools, hospitals and mental health facilities. Our designs make a positive difference - our products for mental health facilities solve the biggest patient suicide risks.

We’ve got a track record of success. We have grown significantly in the last three years and our aim is to reach £30m of global revenue in the next three years and increase our impact; through profitable growth we can help more people through vulnerable times.

We are a fast growing company and continually set the bar high for ourselves. We’re committed to continuously raising the standard of the sectors in which we operate. We do this through hard work and commitment in a culture of collaboration, listening and understanding. Importantly we do this together, as a team.
