From Our Clients.
“Hethel Innovation have been with us every step of the way. Giving us the space we needed in the very early days to get the business off the ground, through to supporting our growth and expansion into another building on the Scottow Enterprise Park. Cost effective premises have allowed us to focus on the development of our UAV and rocket vehicles that will give easy access to space and microgravity environments for research, testing and validation.”
“The Hethel Innovation team has helped us navigate various aspects of business planning for the last 18 months. Their support and contribution has been invaluable whilst making key decisions, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Design Sprint has facilitated an in-depth review of our value proposition and ideation towards new product development. The team brought fresh perspectives and ideas to the table, and we thoroughly enjoyed working with them.”
“I came in contact with the Hethel Innovation team through UK investment team in 2015, being new to the UK system of running a business. The innovation team took me on gracefully and supported my business, from creating opportunity to network through Hethel Centre, to sitting in meetings to brokerage collaboration, to assisting in staff recruitment and of the latest expansion into Scottow Enterprise Park.”
