Innovation mixed with entrepreneurial spirt and a heavy dose of calculated risk-taking is the formula for turning “What if…” into “What is.” Those who take on that risk should be rewarded.

How Craig is building a better working world

“Regardless of the size or sector, I have a passion for helping clients secure funding to advance their R&D agenda whether that be to create new products or processes or to improve existing ones. I have been building a better working world over the past 20-plus years by helping clients access hundreds of millions of dollars they were then able to reinvest in their companies. This money was used to develop a variety of new technologies – from new washing machines to new jet engines to new vaccines – all while creating high-tech and innovation-related jobs.”
