Our company is lean.
Our mission is simple.

To be the trusted partner for businesses looking to bridge the gap between 'great idea' and 'ready to manufacture'. Our approach combines deep technical expertise with hands-on programme delivery.

Founded by Ashley Fulham and Matthew Thomas, Twocan brings over 20 years of combined experience developing products across sectors. We believe that great engineering should be accessible — whether you're a school inspiring the next generation, a museum bringing science to life, or a multinational pushing the boundaries of what's possible.

When you choose to work with us, you're not just a customer — you are part of our story.

Lean team Hands-on delivery End-to-end capability Grant-winning experience

Where can we add value?

From initial concept to market-ready product, Twocan provides end-to-end technical partnership across four core disciplines.

01

Consultation

Unlock your project's true potential from day one. You gain a hands-on technical partner who turns vision into a clear, actionable roadmap — with robust innovation strategy built in from the outset.

02

Design

Transform your vision into reality without the guesswork. Our design team bridges creativity and engineering, delivering solutions that are manufacturable, high-performance, and production-ready.

03

Manufacture

Don't risk costly surprises at launch. We guide you through prototyping, testing, and manufacturing — ensuring your product works in the real world, on time and on budget.

04

Growth

Ready to grow? We help you secure funding, write winning grant proposals, and connect you with the right partners. We've delivered six-figure R&D programmes and know what funders want to see.

We work with

Schools
We build hands-on educational exhibits and interactive demonstrators that make complex ideas tangible. Designed for curiosity — durable enough for daily use, engaging enough to hold a room.
Museums
From concept to installation, we deliver exhibit builds that stand up to the demands of a public environment. Hard deadlines, tight tolerances, and things that just work — on opening day and every day after.
Angel investors
We help early-stage companies take their idea from pitch to physical proof. A working demonstrator changes the conversation in a funding room — we build the thing that makes investors believe it's real.
SMEs
We work with small and medium businesses that need engineering capability without the overhead of a full in-house team. Fast to brief, practical in approach, and focused on the right result without overcomplicating it.
Multinationals
We slot in as a capable, responsive build partner for larger organisations that need specialist physical development outside their core team. Used to working to a brief, hitting milestones, and delivering without hand-holding.
R&D teams
We support R&D teams who need a reliable route from prototype to demonstrator. We understand that R&D moves fast and requirements change — our process is built to absorb that without it becoming a problem.

We're building the future of engineering consultancy. Thank you for coming on this journey with us.
