    Product development is not usually an easy process. Often the inventor or entrepreneur fails to understand the time involved in sometime producing and developing a product from nothing. The simple fact of producing something that has never been made before is obviously going to be a learning process. It is wise and practical to be prepared and plan for issues that may arise during design, manufacture and the final launch of the product. 

    One key benefit is that Jag can carry out is an Intellectual Property review as often at an early stage in the product development cycle it is important to identify if the idea infringes either an existing patent, design registration or trademark. We also use our design 4 manufacture guide, see story on articles page.

    Jag uses the latest Solidworks 3D CAD software to develop ideas from concept through to manufacture. We also have links to associate companies who can use the files generated at JAG to create prototypes. We also have links to test centres allowing all aspects of the products to be tried and approved before launch to obtain, CE marking, EMC testing etc.

    Gary's Background

    Gary has been the lead of several innovative companies based in the North East over the last decade. His roots are in manufacturing and design based on 30+ years experience from many different sectors.

    In 2009, Gary received the ‘Innovation Champion Award’ from One North East and spent the next two years developing his very own product. In 2011, he secured over €773,000 to develop a new innovative material from waste from the EU Eco Innovation Fund.

    Gary is now returning to his roots and supporting design and manufacture across the North East something that has been close to his heart since he started in this field over 30 years ago.
