Prior
to starting Leather Wise we both have extensive experience
of participating in research projects linked to the leather
sector. In many projects there has also been close involvement
with other sectors such as textiles, printing and food.
We
are happy to consider becoming project partners if you are
forming a consortium and would find our skills complementary
to your partnership.
Amanda’s
expertise includes managing and conducting scientific research
to develop new products for use in the leather industry and
improve leather performance. This experience extends right
from the planning stage through to delivery of the final report.
These projects range from relatively small-scale single client
contracts up to large government funded projects and include
the use of scientific equipment such as:
- Scanning
electron microscopy
-
Light microscopy
- X-ray
microanalysis
-
Fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy (FTIR)
-
Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC)
Chris’s
expertise is predominantly in procurement of funding (UK and
EU), proposal writing, project negotiation and project management
including:
- RESTORM
– Radical Environmentally Sustainable Tannery Operation
by Resource Management ( EU)
-
CWEGA – Competitiveness through Waste Elimination
and Goal Alignment (UK)
-
Developing the Use of Electronic Communications in the UK
Leather Industry
-
LeatherWeb – Responsive Research for the Leather Supply
Chain
-
LATTNet – Leather and Allied Technology Transfer Network
Please contact us to discuss (confidentially) any project
ideas.
