Innovation is integral to the success of modern businesses, whether it is in the use of materials, the design of products or by developing a new technology. To innovate successfully requires a substantial commitment to continued research and development.

Throughout our history, we have been an organisation that has constantly been at the forefront of new technologies. We have developed new uses for materials through technology transfer initiatives and have been responsible for some of the most high impact production methodologies in the ceramics industry. Operating across all industries we have undertaken a variety of research programmes, from smaller confidential 'one to one' project through to larger European funded specific research projects for dissemination to the relevant industry.

With our experience of working with regional, national and European schemes we are well placed to offer advice when trying to identify suitable schemes to participate in, and can offer assistance with writing proposals for the application process.
