D2M was founded by Phil Staunton in 2010 out of a desire to support business founders with new product ideas from inception through to launch. Back then almost all product design companies only offered product development services. Very few firms supported their clients with: sourcing, production, marketing, Intellectual Property protection, quality control or any of the other vital steps of the product development and launch journey.
To provide this complete idea to launch process, we have built up a network of professionals who are experts in their field and also share our values. We integrate these expert services within our unique, bespoke process where they will add the most value to the project.
D2M continued to evolve our product design and development services, staying one step ahead of the pack.
We also put our money where our mouth is and developed our own range of products, some of which launched with John Lewis. Founder, Phil Staunton, now splits his time between continuing to run D2M and supporting business founders through all stages of developing and selling a new product drawing on his personal experience prototyping, manufacturing, marketing and selling a travel system and pushchair accessories range. A lot of our clients find this experience invaluable in developing their own to market strategy.
We’re all about helping companies, startups and entrepreneurs to succeed with designing new products.
