BACKGROUND

 

The business originates from a partnership established in 1983 offering specialist design and production management consultancy.

In 1989 the partnership was incorporated as a limited company and continued to expand and broaden its experience in product design, production engineering and advanced manufacturing technology, whilst developing close working relationships with government, universities and leading engineering consultants.

IG Consultants Ltd was formed in 1996, facilitating a network of experienced business and technical consultants who were recognised for supporting companies in developing advanced product and process technology.
