The Design Trust works in close partnership with a range of individual experts, non profit organisations, government bodies, universities and commercial businesses to provide you with the best business advice, training and marketing opportunities.
We have selected our partners specifically for their business or design/crafts expertise and profile within the sector.
If you want to get further information, or want to work with them on an individual basis, please contact them directly and mention that you heart from them via The Design Trust.
We do not get paid any commission for these referrals to work with them as consultants. Some partners are authors, run e-courses or training programmes, and their books, training and tools are available from our shop.
