"Ian has provided some great support and advice relating to two of my most exciting development projects. Ian's guidance on the grant application process with Finance South East was clear and insightful."
Chrissi Wilkins
Owner & Founder of Freestreme
Freestreme is a range of super cool light-weight protective body armour for extreme sports. The Freestreme body armour system keeps you cool and is half the weight of conventional kit providing the same protection. This is an amazing technology which allows the sportsperson to play harder for longer and also means that the kit is lighter and easier to carry as well as being less prone to getting smelly.
Introduced the Freestreme team to a number of people with specialist skills in this area including a business advisor who is also an ice-hockey coach and another advisor who has a background in ballistic testing. Helped write and review a Finance South East Commercialisation fund application for the project.
The company is branding and designing the product and have recently formed a partnership with a marketing company prior to raising funding for the formal launch of the product.
