Inventors' Club

Business & Professional

Join us for our Inventors’ Club, designed to help you refine, protect and commercialise that new product idea you’ve been tinkering with.

Great ideas can change the world! However, whilst lots of us often spot the potential for a new product or piece of technology, the harsh realities of research and development, prototyping, manufacturing and distribution often mean that few of those ideas actually make it to market.

This is an opportunity to get feedback on your idea for a new product or piece of technology in a controlled environment. It will also enable  you to find out about how the Library's extensive collection of business and commercial data can help you on your journey from someone with a great idea, to having a product on the market.

The club meets on the last Monday of the month. Innovators who would like to present their idea should contact Bob Lindsey on [email protected].

18.00 - 18.15  Registration / networking
18.15 - 18.25  Introductions
18.25 - 19.00  Speaker 1
19.00 - 19.30  Speaker 2
19.30 – 20.30 Networking

The Inventors' Club has been established by the Business & IP Centre to give budding inventors the opportunity to network with others in the same boat, hear from speakers who have successfully commercialised their inventions, stay motivated and share insider hints, tips, expertise and experience.

Please note that the purpose of the British Library Inventor's Club is primarily networking, expertise-sharing and introductions.
The Inventors' Club is brought to you by the Business & IP Centre in collaboration with:

Bob Lindsey- a chartered Engineer with a wide experience of marketing and business management, who has spent over twenty years advising entrepreneurs and small businesses on getting their new products to market. He was part of the team which set up the Inventors' Club at Kingston University in 2005, and he regularly runs Innovation Clinics at the British Library.

Mark Sheahan - the Founder and Owner of Compgen Ltd and Culgen Ltd and the Chairman at Morgan Goodwin Ltd. He has been a value collaborator of the Business & IP Centre for over 13 years as the British Library's Inventor in Residence, helping over 1000 aspiring innovators with their inventions.

Barry Slayford - the inventor of the Arson-Proof Letterbox and founder of the Croydon Inventors' Club. He also set up the Invention Centre at South Norwood to assist entrepreneurs to get their new product ideas to market. He can advise on all parts of the journey from initial idea to market launch.
Meetings will take place on the last Monday of each month and light refreshments will be provided.
