It currently employs 30 staff, and is aiming to increase that to over 50 over the following months, strengthening its sales, operations, testing laboratory and warehousing teams.
“The relocation to new offices has really opened doors for us, and we are being approached by many companies,” said Hassell.
“We can store more products as a result, with our growing reputation, expanding product portfolio and growth plans attracting high-talented staff.”
Included in that portfolio expansion, will see the firm make its debut in the action camera market with a range of products, including one that can shoot 360 degree images. A specialist distribution partner, retailers and pricing will be announced in due course.
It also has struck deals to distribute products for rugged case maker Urban Armour Gear, Bluetooth/WiFi product vendor GGMM, leather case maker Wetherby, computer cleaning product firm 4clean and case protection company Wise-Pet.
