4c is 10 Years Old

Posted on: February 17th, 2012 by Robin

10th Bday

On the 19th of February 2012 4c will celebrate our 10th year in business.

What an amazing journey we’ve had.

From that early audacious idea of being the first graduates from Glasgow University and the GSA to set up our own Product Design Engineering Consultancy, through to today where we are a well established company that has helped many clients develop their ideas into nicely engineered products.

The journey has been a roller coaster at times, but after celebrating our best year in business with a steady organic growth over 10 years we are really looking forward to the fun we are going to have over the next decades.

Thanks to our staff past and present and most importantly our clients, it is you that inspire us.

We are constantly being asked for help and advice on the best approach to new product development. Many people are daunted by the costs, pressures and lack of knowledge in this area. We came across this guide from Product Design Hub that we would thoroughly recommend to anyone looking to get involved in product development, whether its your first time or if you’re a seasoned designer.

The following points are essential to know before you begin:

1. Who will buy your product?

2. How many potential customers are there?

3. Who will you be competing with?

4. What will make your product the best choice?

5. Can your product idea be protected?

6. Which standards will your product need to meet?

7. How will your product be manufactured and sold?

8. How much will all this cost?

9. How will you pay for it?

10. Do you have a plan?

Here is a brief summary of the guide, but for the full guide please follow this link.
