Set up in 2001 our objective was to build a design firm where the resources available to our customers covered every kind of product design from initial conception through to final production. In addition, our extensive background in medical electronics meant that we were able to to provide expertise in safety critical design and risk/hazard analysis - disciplines that are now becoming applicable to general product design. Contacq's projects have involved working successfully with customers both in the UK and North America on a range of systems.

About Us
read moreEstablished in 2001 by David McMullan and Simon McIlwaine, the objective was to create a design company where the resources available to our clients covered every aspect of product design, from initial conception through to final production. With an extensive background in medical electronics and a network of design partners offering support in specialised areas, Contacq designs for clients in a variety of commercial, industrial and medical sectors. Seamless integration into a client's environment and working practices has always been key to building a successful product and projects and as a company great emphasis has always been placed upon good design practices, embracing emerging technologies, whilst at the same time, balancing the risk element associated with these new ideas in what is currently a very volatile market.
Design
read moreWe live in an era where we are constantly bombarded with new innovative products and components enabling us to do things better, faster and with less power. However, when evaluating which technology platform is most suitable for a product, traditional design values remain true, and metrics such as effectiveness, reliability and longevity must always remain at the forefront of any design. With the majority of the design process being focussed on electronics and software, attention must also be directed to other aspects of design that permeate through the entire creation process and would typically include such topics (?)as user ergonomics, ease of use or installation, design for manufacture, and expandability as a platform for future generations of the product.
