About us

Andy and Alex

Founded in 2020 by Andrew Mitchell and Alex Canning, Neatt was born from a vision to create a dynamic and agile product design agency that provides comprehensive product development services to its clients.

With 15 years of innovative and high-growth experience at Dyson, Andrew and Alex have built a solid reputation and an extensive network of expert contacts.

The team are passionate about empowering their clients to innovate continuously, ensuring they stay ahead of the competition and achieve sustainable growth.

Neatt offers a holistic design service that guides clients from the initial spark of inspiration – perhaps that quick sketch on a napkin – all the way to a tangible, functional product ready for manufacture. Their deep industry knowledge and connections enable them to deliver exceptional results.

The Neatt team thrives on the exciting work they do, collaborating with clients who share their ambition to blaze new trails and innovate sustainably, all while meeting deadlines and budget requirements.

As Neatt continues to grow, they are committed to attracting more design talent and launching an array of exciting products for their clients.

Andrew, Alex, and the entire team are eager to take on new challenges, driving creativity and excellence in every project.

Our core values

We are creative

At Neatt, we pride ourselves on being creative innovators in the fields of product design and mechanical engineering. We believe that exploring new ideas is essential for businesses to rise above the competition. This approach allows us to tackle challenges that others often overlook, ensuring we provide unique solutions that drive success.

We are committed

Our commitment is unwavering. We face obstacles head-on and never shy away from challenges. While innovation can be demanding, it’s also incredibly rewarding. We are dedicated to identifying new opportunities in prototyping and manufacturing, always striving to maintain our vision rather than settling for an easy path. The final push to bring products into production is immensely satisfying, especially when we share the joy with our clients as they hold the tangible results of what began as a simple dream.

We are curious

Curiosity is at the heart of our work. We constantly question the status quo, eager to challenge norms and disrupt the industry. We believe boundaries are just limits we impose on ourselves, and at Neatt, we view possibilities as infinite. When collaborating with clients on product design, one of the most important questions we ask is, “Why?” Understanding our clients’ vision and the purpose behind their product helps us create designs that truly resonate.

Sustainability

At Neatt, our pioneering spirit drives everything we do. We innovate not just for today but for a sustainable future that leaves a legacy. A key part of our ethos is future proofing; we believe that every product we design should consider it’s effect on the environment.

We incorporate sustainability into all our work, using a variety of materials, including recycled plastics and biomaterials like PLA, PHA-based bioplastics, and algae EVAs. Our expertise allows us to identify the strengths and weaknesses of these materials, ensuring the best match for your product design and brief.

Additionally, we collaborate with you to develop effective sales and marketing messaging that aligns with your sustainable claims.

With Neatt, you can be confident that your product design will not only meet current needs but also positively impact the future.
