In very few
cases will it be more true that a company’s future depends on the quality
of its team members. Key contributors to KBIG’s future success include the
following.
Mike Garrett MBE
BSc CChem FRSC CEng CSci FIChemE FRSA CEng MCIWEM
Director, Innovation and Technology
Formerly
Director of Innovation with the BOC Group, Mike is recorded as the inventor
in over 400 patents in the UK alone, and is accredited with inventing
and/or commercialising a vast array of projects and ideas. Mike’s unique
talent and trademark lies in the fact that his creations are drawn, and
typically ingeniously cross-linked, from an astonishingly wide range of
disciplines. It is these unprecedented creative skills that lie behind the
striking commercial potential of KBIG’s extraordinarily wide-ranging
portfolio of technologies. Mike is arguably the most prolifically
successful scientific commercial inventor of all time, to the extent that
his remains the only MBE ever awarded for services to innovation.

Consultancy Team
Whenever appropriate
we call upon our extensive network of eminent specialists in a wide range
of technological and scientific disciplines. We involve however many of our
team it takes to ensure optimum success for whatever projects we feel they
might be instrumental in helping us to advance. Some team members are named
as co-inventors in certain KBIG projects where they originally approached
us for assistance with problem solving.
Partner Companies
A further invaluable resource
to KBIG is the teams of scientists working within our partner companies,
with whom we work closely on developing new technologies falling within
their specialist areas of expertise. The availability of such wide-ranging
knowledge and skills is a key contributor to our overall business effort.
