Get to know us
SCITEK Consultants Ltd is an engineering consultancy that was founded in October 1997 by Dr. Marios Christodoulou. The company provides Research and Development services to clients in a variety of sectors including but not limited to aerospace, defence, power generation and automotive. Design and manufacture of research rigs forms the backbone of the company’s activities. We consider our business model to be unique as no one project worked on is the same with each and every project representing an innovation of its own kind.
Our history
The idea for SCITEK’s innovative business model came about at a time when Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) were cutting down on the amount of R&D carried out in-house to allow them to focus on profit. This meant they were looking to contract out R&D work. Where some of this work went to Universities, accustomed to carrying out long-term research projects, SCITEK’s founder spotted a gap in the market for a business model which would allow more mature and applied R&D work to be put into practice quickly and in line with industry standards.
Since incorporation, SCITEK has been involved in many of the key industry innovations of our clients, whether it be emissions testing, X-Ray image analysis, innovations in aerosol designs of deodorants, fuel and spinning rigs, or design and build of a neutron radiography machine!
Our staff
Our premises on Victory Road is made up of offices, a large warehouse and workshop with in house manufacturing capability for our rig building activities. We employ a team of highly skilled engineers and manufacturing technicians, all with wide ranging specialisms and a think outside the box mentality.
Our specialist fields of mechanical design, thermofluids, numerical modelling, control systems, instrumentation and software engineering are complementary and ensure that we can take a project from conception to reality.
Our background in R&D also gives us access to many experts in other fields and we often provide a link between industrial and academic partners.
