Team of professionals
Concept CAD was formed in 2005 following the withdrawal of Celestica from the UK printed circuit board design market. Paul Butterworth and Glenn Shiels, both senior engineers at Celestica, made the decision to continue supplying quality designs and products to the UK market. Initial investment was in the Cadence Expert toolset before 2008 saw further growth. Significant spending on both design staff and software immediately resulted in an increase in the number of licenses being purchased.
Years of high-end exposure to Cadence Allegro PCB design tools have given us the experience and know-how required to offer the highest level of service to our customers. Consistent, quality designs and a high level of customer care has earned Concept CAD a reputation as being one of the UKs PCB Design specialists.
Our investment in the full Allegro suite range of PCB design tools means we can provide services and features only offered by a small number of UK companies. It also enables us to design and control most aspects of circuit boards, both physical and electrical and our designers are experts in manually routing highly complex and complicated PCB designs.
