4worldlovers: The Science of Design – understanding what makes a product desirable – The Design of Science – making new technology more accessible.

Renfrew Group International is an award winning industrial design and technology consultancy offering domestic and international clients a full product commercialisation service through design innovation, engineering and product development. From laboratory research and innovation to production implementation, our integrated innovation teams, supported by scientists and electronics specialists, have the skills and capabilities to deliver novel, market-leading products.

Fundamentally, our work is also about humanising technology. We put the user experience at the heart of an innovation, building-in simplicity and making new technology more accessible. After all, products which are delightfully simple to use are more likely to be adopted and recommended to others.

When it comes to encapsulating technical innovation in a form that chimes with an end user, our early involvement, often before the science leaves the bench, can help to ensure that the human factors as well as the production design issues are considered at the optimum stage in the process. This combination of disciplines underpins our work, helping to establish the best presentation of the subject technology, and allowing our clients greater certainty in their chosen route to market, as well as maximization of their return on investment.


As product design and innovation consultants we add value in a number of key sectors including product design, engineering development, electronics development, medical design, motorcycle development and automotive design. Our genuinely comprehensive approach combines technical innovation with design development, but with the added benefit of on-site research laboratories, prototyping workshops and manufacturing facilities.

Certified for Product Development & Engineering Design to ISO 13485, and in addition to our mainstream product design work, we have 30 years’ experience of novel design and development in medical equipment, drug delivery devices, fluid delivery systems, and diagnostic devices.

We’ve designed and developed high value low volume experimental systems for laboratory use and lower value high volume products for mass diagnostic purposes as well as microbiological systems, dosing devices and closure systems, dialysis machines and sample separation systems employing ultrasonic transducers in micro fluidic arrays. We’ve developed head up display systems for augmented reality, autonomous vehicles and commercial robots, breath analysis devices and equipment, consumer electronics systems, wearable electronics, food preparation products, surgical instruments, and commercial in-service cleaning systems.
