LGI tasked Neatt with designing a compact, innovative dispenser capable of securely holding LED markers while enabling automatic activation upon ejection. With a compact timeline to take the dispenser from concept to production, we were more than ready to rise to the challenge.

LGI had developed LED battery-powered markers for NATO and emergency services personnel, providing a reliable means to create safe pathways instantly, in any setting.

The dispenser needed to be compact, durable, and reliable, even in demanding conditions. It was essential that the device be ergonomic, user-friendly, and operable while wearing gloves. We focused on optimising the design by minimising component count, reducing tooling investment, and ensuring smooth operation.

After presenting LGI with a range of mechanism concepts, we developed prototypes for testing and refinement, progressing to a production-ready design.

Leveraging our extensive network, we sourced the ideal manufacturing partner for LGI and oversaw pre-production, injection mould tool commissioning, and final approvals – ensuring LGI’s product was production-ready and fit for its critical purpose.

From concept to manufacture, we’re proud to have illuminated the path forward with LGI!

“When we decided to develop our thoughts on the Advanced Illuminated Marking System, we wanted to work with an agile and creative team of designers. We spoke to several companies, but it was Neatt who offered the creative thought process we were looking for. I would recommend Neatt to any organisation and would be happy to offer a reference if required.”

Andrew is a design engineer with a strong foundation in CAD, prototyping and visual communication. Since joining Neatt in 2022, he has brought a fresh, hands‑on approach to concept development, 3D modelling and prototype build, helping ideas take shape quickly and effectively.

He is continually expanding his skills in rendering, animation and advanced CAD workflows to strengthen how Neatt explores and communicates design intent. Curious, detail‑driven and engaged, Andrew plays a key role in bridging ideation and execution, refining geometry, building functional rigs and producing clear, compelling visuals that support confident decision‑making.

Chris is a modelmaker and engineer with a natural talent for turning ideas into beautifully crafted, functional prototypes. His imaginative approach and strong engineering mindset drive a hands‑on process of making, testing and refining.

Before joining Neatt, he spent five years at Dyson across Design Engineering and Design Modelling, developing early mechanisms, prototypes and high‑fidelity models. His experience also includes film and TV work at Pinewood Studios on Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker and with specialist prop houses. At Neatt, Chris bridges imagination and engineering reality, bringing energy, curiosity and exceptional attention to detail to every project.

Dan is a design engineer driven by the belief that good design should improve people’s lives. Not only in how a product works, but in how it feels, behaves and fits into everyday routines. This mindset fuels his hands‑on approach, exploring ideas through making, testing and refining.

As one of the more junior members of the team, Dan brings experience in industrial design, rapid prototyping, model making and mechanical development. At Neatt, he helps turn ideas into tangible, testable realities. His blend of creativity, precision and craftsmanship ensures the products we design are both functional and meaningful.

Steve is a product and category innovation specialist with a unique mix of engineering depth, global market experience and a talent for making complex technology feel simple.

Over 14 years at Dyson, he worked across engineering, category development and Commercial Engineering for Beauty, contributing to everything from early concepts to global launches, insight missions and hands‑on user testing. His work took him across the Middle East and Asia, including a year in Tokyo with Dyson Japan. At Neatt, Steve connects technical rigour with real‑world insight, shaping user‑focused products and category experiences from first idea to global launch.

Andy is a product design engineer with a passion for building high‑quality user experiences through a hands‑on, prototype‑driven approach. With experience across mechanical and electro‑mechanical development, he excels at turning early ideas into validated, manufacturable designs.

Before joining Neatt, he spent nearly five years at Dyson working on sensing technologies, user‑interface concepts and early‑stage innovation, and previously contributed to next‑generation play and robotics projects at LEGO in Denmark. A lifelong maker, Andy brings strong rapid‑prototyping skills, blending SolidWorks expertise with real‑world testing to uncover insights CAD alone can’t. At Neatt, he helps develop robust concepts and drive projects forward.

He’s collaborative, curious, and happiest with tools in hand.

Rebecca is a senior industrial designer and operations manager who balances creative exploration with organised, efficient delivery.

Equally confident shaping early concepts or steering internal processes, she ensures projects run smoothly and clients feel supported. Before Neatt, Rebecca spent 5 years working at Cannondale delivering award-winning and patented designs while working closely with global suppliers and manufacturing teams.

She then ran her own design practice, gaining experience across client management, production oversight and commercial planning. Her work spans cycling, outdoor adventure sports and electric mobility, including award‑winning and patented products. Rebecca brings strong prototyping, supplier collaboration and category‑wide experience, supporting Neatt across planning, policy implementation, client communication and day‑to‑day operations.

Before starting Neatt, Alex spent nearly two decades at Dyson, leading engineering teams across battery systems, sensing technologies, water tanks, docking stations and more. Known for calm leadership and disciplined engineering, he managed large cross‑functional teams and was selected for Dyson’s Connected Leader Programme.
