LAT56° can also design for you

LAT56° offers a product design consultancy service. The service is at a special rate for 2008.

LAT56° as consultants?

We are not your typical design consultancy. We don’t just make things look pretty and charge a fee. We pride ourselves on user focussed, dynamic, functional and commercially driven design. We will design products that consumers will wish to buy.

Who are we?

Lawrence Broadley and Kevin Fox are the two founders of Latitude 56 Degrees. Both trained together as product designers at the University of Strathclyde. Kevin and Lawrence also studied in California together at the internationally acclaimed engineering university, California Polytechnic. Together they have commercialised and patented a variety of products with the help of Michael McGregor, a USA based entrepreneur who brings over fifteen years of international operational, product development and multi-million pound private equity investment experience to the company.
