Sectors we work with

We have experience advising clients across a wide range of industry sectors.

UK businesses in any industry sector can claim R&D tax credits, providing that qualifying research and development activities are being carried out.

In the UK, innovative industries such as manufacturing, engineering and pharmaceutical are world leaders in their field due to constant technological advancements and the R&D Tax Credits scheme. It is easy to spot qualifying R&D work in these sectors, but you may be surprised to learn that our clients come from a wide range of industries that you might not necessarily expect to be eligible for R&D tax credits.

Aviation & Marine

As one of the leaders in the global market, the UK aviation and marine sectors constantly carry out research and development work to stay ahead of competitors and exploit the latest advanced technologies.

Chemicals & Sealants

Advancements in technology and research & development have enabled adhesive, sealants, chemicals and paints industries to progress. New materials and legislative requirements have forced companies in this field to carry out R&D activities.

Cosmetics & Personal Care

Research and development is important for the cosmetics and personal care industries where consumer health and safety is a priority in this highly regulated sector.

Construction & Property

Bespoke projects, new building techniques and the introduction of environmentally friendly materials makes research and development activities increasingly important in the property and construction industries.

Energy

Government targets have encouraged research and development in this area, including harnessing energy through solar panels, wind turbines and wave / tidal power systems.

Farming & Agriculture

The farming and agricultural sector are constantly forced to evolve to survive in this industry. R&D tax credits can help to sustain this innovation.

Food & Drink

Research and development is used regularly across the food and drink sector who progress through responding to consumer trends, dietary requirements and changes in safety and hygiene standards. This could be applicable to both human and pet consumables.

Manufacturing & Engineering

Research & development is vital in the manufacturing and engineering sector to compete in a challenging market – R&D tax credits can make your investments go further.

Medical & Pharmaceutical

The pharmaceutical and medical industries use research and development every day to produce new products and push scientific boundaries. This area is clearer than most sectors for spotting R&D Tax Credits.

Printing & Packaging

Research and development is becoming increasingly important in the printing and packaging sectors. As companies need to drive down costs, packaging and printing businesses are constantly striving to create cost-efficient products and improve quality.

Software & IT

Technology is advancing rapidly in the twenty first century and research & development is essential to stay ahead of competitors in the software development, IT and communications sectors.
