Client Testimonial – Spark Product Innovation Ltd

July 17, 2025

Industry: Design & Engineering Consultancy

Service Provided: R&D Tax Relief Consultancy

 

Spark Product Innovation Ltd, is a company focused on pioneering engineering and design solutions. The company was already claiming R&D tax credits and had a fair understanding of the process. However, they felt there was much more value to unlock with the right specialist partner. That’s when we came in.

 

The Challenge

While Spark knew how to identify projects qualifying for R&D claims, they were also aware they were missing out on larger financial benefits. They needed to deepen their knowledge of qualifying activities and maximise claims without putting additional strain on their technical team.

 

The Solution

Our team worked closely with Spark’s technical team to understand their projects in depth, restructuring how they approached new work to ensure they bore the right level of financial risk to fully qualify for R&D. B&B ran an intensive, proactive process that required minimal time investment on the client’s side: Spark simply provided a project brief, and B&B turned it into a robust report.

 

Impact & Results

As a result of working with B&B, the team at Spark has grown their understanding of R&D, enabling them to spot eligible projects in real time. This has reshaped how they work, enabling them to claim on more projects. With our help, the client massively increased the value of their claims, freeing up funds to reinvest & grow the business.

“Any business in our position would benefit from B&B’s services.For engineers, they will save you time; for finance teams, they deliver far greater rewards than you are expecting.”

Alan Lam, Executive Director, Spark Product Innovation

Working with Bonham & Brook

The client highlighted:

  • Our smooth and transparent processes.

  • B&B pushing the process forward to maximise the claim and deliver on time.

Alan found that the minimal time they spent was far outweighed by the substantial benefits received in the end.
