  • Traditionally these types of products are unimaginative and purely functional but Pd-m managed to create several innovative features such as coloured sliding terminal blocks, easy install gland plates, snap fit back bracket, stackable extension box, and screw-less assembly. Moreover, the design was intrinsically strong meaning even the most onerous installations could be accommodated whilst looking aesthetically fantastic. The result was impressive.

    —Product and Marketing Director, Lucy Zodion

  • "We employed Pd-m to design and develop a new flagship product. They adopted a structured and well-organised approach from the initial fact-find through to proof-of-concepts, meeting and selecting potential suppliers, testing and final approval. Throughout, they demonstrated creative thinking and innovative problem solving, with an eye to cost at all times. I have no hesitation in recommending them and am in no doubt that we will employ their services again."

    - Managing Director, Vizstark

  • “It’s hard at the start, because you don’t really know what you’re going to get. But after listening to Pd-m talk about other products they’ve worked on, how passionately they talked about them, and how they shared the challenges in the process that they overcame, I could see their commitment. I could see their value. I knew this was right for the product.”

    - Founder & CEO, Warmtronics

  • “Twisted have bold ambitions to become the global leader in customising Land Rover Defenders. Whilst we have some capacity in-house we needed to work with an organisation who can push the boundaries, apply breathtaking innovation and practical engineering experience. Pd-m are cognitive thought leaders and practical designers who have the unique ability to convert concepts into commercially viable solutions.”
