Retained Work

We also work on a retainer basis for clients who have ongoing needs but don’t want the difficulty, hassle and expense of recruiting and employing their own materials specialists.
Contact us for a Material Hunter trial

Many clients who work with us on a retainer basis require our Material Hunter service. This offers 8-16 hours of consultancy work every month to investigate new and unusual materials which fit the brief provided. This service could suit you if you have a number of materials or technologies that you are interested in over the long term. For example, some of our existing clients in this category focus on nanotechnology, 'green' and sustainable materials, natural materials including leathers and wood, decorative pigments and additives.

We source new suppliers and samples of a number of materials that fit these criteria every month, while remaining flexible and being able to respond to requests for short-term information on priority projects.
