WHO WE ARE

We are a small, but highly capable product design and development consultancy based in Belfast, Northern Ireland. We provide a wide range of services to our clients including access to our trusted network of international suppliers.

Our approach focuses on helping you to identify and tackle the most important issues first - whatever stage of development you’re at. Planning a clear path to project delivery from the outset, we scope projects into short, well-defined phases of work helping you to manage both cost and risk.

We are quick thinkers and excellent problems solvers with a proven track record in generating new intellectual property for our clients.

COMPANY HISTORY

Founder and CEO, Dr Ryan Fenton, spent 10 years working in the varied and busy environment of a top London product design consultancy, eventually being promoted to their board of directors. After relocating to Northern Ireland, he took on the Design Director role for an international medical device company. In 2019, Ryan made the decision to return to full-time consulting and BPD was born.

Taking what is complex and making it simple - that’s the key to our success
