Lead Research – UK Product Design / Manufacturing Firms

Hi there,

I run a small, UK-based short-run manufacturing business that supports companies with:

3D printing (FDM & resin)

Foam casting

Prototyping

Small batch production

We’re looking to reach out to companies who may benefit from these services. I need a freelancer to research and create a list of 50 to 100 businesses in the UK who are likely to need support like this—especially:

Product design consultancies

R&D departments

Engineering and prototyping firms

Hardware startups or makerspaces

What you’ll need to do:
Find businesses (UK only), and build a simple spreadsheet that includes:

Company Name

Website

Contact Email (ideally a decision maker or general contact)

Location (town or county)

Industry type (e.g. “Product Design” or “Engineering Consultancy”)

Notes (e.g. “Mentions prototyping services” or “Designs electronics casings”)

Requirements:
UK-based businesses only (no international)

Contacts must be valid—avoid fake emails or scraped junk

Priority on businesses that clearly mention prototyping, product design, or short-run manufacturing

I will provide a simple spreadsheet format with dropdowns to make this easy.

Budget:
£30–£50 fixed price depending on volume and quality.

This is a one-off project, but I’m looking for someone who I can use regularly if it works well.

Please provide a short note about your experience with lead generation or data sourcing when applying.
