JP Innovation Hub
Professional engineering connections, projects and private quotes.
A focused paid platform for engineers, makers, suppliers and manufacturers. Free customer quote/project access sits separately in the Client Portal.
The Hub will remain private until the main platform features are complete and ready for a proper launch.
- Register interest without creating a login.
- Receive updates as the platform develops.
- Client Portal accounts remain separate and free.
- Innovation Hub access will open only once the Hub is ready.

Flagship Roadmap Feature
Quote Hub will help customers request engineering quotes without exposing competitor pricing.
The concept is simple: one customer submits one engineering project, approved engineers privately submit quotations, and only the customer can see the quotes. Engineers will not be able to see competitors' prices.
Customer submits a project
The request can include drawings, CAD files, photos, requirements, timescales and delivery expectations.
Approved engineers quote privately
Only suitable, approved engineers will be able to submit quotations for the work.
Customer compares options
The customer can review quotes, capability and approach without turning the process into a public price race.
Example Activity
The Hub will be built around real engineering posts, not generic social content.
These examples show the kind of focused, practical content the Hub is intended for once the platform is ready.
Classic Mini restoration build
A member could share a small restoration project, ask for advice on panel repair, brackets, trim parts, fabrication, paint prep or sourcing local workshop support.
Smart key locker development
A member could post a wall-mounted key locker concept with a glass front and 50 tagged hangers, then ask for input on enclosure design, access control, hinges, wiring and manufacture.
Prototype Technician Wanted
- Support prototype assembly and light fabrication.
- Help test fixtures, jigs and small mechanical parts.
- Ideal for a practical maker, technician or engineering student.
