Technology and design consultancy Cambridge Design Partnership is expanding its team in North America to meet the needs of its growing portfolio of U.S.-based clients.
The company, based in Cambridge, United Kingdom, is focused on the healthcare, consumer, energy and industrial sectors. The company’s North American office is in Palo Alto, Calif.
This is the second milestone in recent months for the company, which in March unveiled its multi-million-dollar, 8,000-square-foot research and development center in Cambridge.
As part of the company’s growing presence in the United States, Jez Clements, full partner and Ph.D. mechanical engineer, has relocated from Cambridge to California, expanding the existing Palo Alto office.
Clements is an experienced mechanical engineer who has developed numerous medical devices, including the design and development of a hospital infection diagnostic system and a first-of-its-kind innovative lancing device. Clements will focus on working with medical technology companies to help engineer and design new products and related manufacturing processes, supporting them through to product launch. He will be working alongside respected medical technology expert Dominique Freeman, who has been leading the U.S. team from Palo Alto since 2011.
“Since the opening of our Silicon Valley office in 2011, we’ve been able to help several exciting new clients. Having a partner from the business join our U.S. office indicates our long term commitment to our American customers,” said Mike Cane, founder of Cambridge Design Partnership. The launch of the new R&D center in the United Kingdom was unveiled alongside the official launch of Cambridge Design Partnership’s new corporate identity.
