The guys at Tatton Consulting Mark and Lewis in particular are true professionals. They offer a comprehensive level of service and support for clients wishing to tap into various business development grants such as Innovate UK. In our case at Origin Pharma they have helped us to secure a significant amount of monies, circa £500k which will enable us to drive forward with our digital product development programme linked to RPM- remote patient monitoring for the Pharmaceutical market. Highly recommended, across the board.

Exceptional

Tatton Consulting have been exceptional in all that they have done for us. They very much guided us and wrote for an Innovate UK grant and we got it. Without them we probably would still be trying. I cannot recommmend Tatton Consulting high enough. We will work with them again

Tatton Consulting - The UK's No.1 Grants Consultancy stars About Us

It was a complete pleasure

Our experience with Mark and his whole organization was stellar. It was so refreshing for me to give Mark the idea I was trying to express and then just let him develop it. We have worked with Mark on two different UK Grant proposals and we were awarded both of them. One of the proposals was for the amount of £4m and the other for £1m. I will definitely engage Tatton Consulting in the future.

Outstanding quality

The application is of outstanding quality, particularly in terms of market awareness. The technical risks are sufficiently high to require risk sharing with government. An outstanding case is made for £349k government funding.
