Experience of metrology, aerospace, nuclear, semiconductor, defence, process and manufacturing industries.
I am Neil Maddock CEng MIMechE, the owner and sole employee of Matchless Design Ltd. I was sponsored by Renishaw through my Mechanical Engineering course at Loughborough University graduating with a BTech (Hons) 2(i). Between 1984 and 2003 I was employed in engineering design across a range of organisations and industries gaining a wide variety of valuable experience.
In 2003 I established Implicit Design Ltd which was succeeded by Matchless Design Ltd in 2016. Through these companies I have provided contract design services to a number of clients using a range of CAD software.

An engineering design services company based in central Bristol.
Co-inventor of 5 patents in metrology, automation and process industries.
"I worked with Neil over an 18 month period. During that time he demonstrated his ability to translate complex mechanical requirements into manufacturable products that worked perfectly first time and continue to perform faultlessly at full rate production volumes." - Chris, Section Lead
