Bristol brand consultancy Firehaus has moved to the city’s Engine Shed innovation hub as its client base continues to grow.
The four-person agency, launched three years ago, is already achieving double-digit growth for gross profits and revenues with a mission to bring ‘light + heat’ to ignite brands. 
With new projects for the University of Bristol, UKRI (UK Research and Innovation) and innovative prosthetics technology business Radii Devices, it is increasingly working with socially responsible organisations looking to scale.
At Engine Shed, Firehaus will work side-by-side and collaborate with some of Bristol’s top innovators, entrepreneurs, academics, social innovators and corporates.
Among its latest projects is work with the University of Bristol’s commercial quantum offering and brand positioning to the industry.
This follows on from work developing Bristol Grid, the innovative new platform for university-based start-ups and spin-outs.
Meanwhile, it is handling two branding projects for UKRI, including its Made Smarter Innovation research centres, accelerating the adoption of industrial digital technologies in the UK manufacturing sector.
Previously Firehaus branded UKRI’s Interact and Discribe initiatives, funded by Made Smarter and Digital Security by Design respectively.
By setting up at Engine Shed after previously working remotely, it is now co-located with client Radii Devices, which is part of the SETsquared Bristol community based there.
Firehaus has also supported other emerging South West-based tech businesses such as Tickitto and iLetpro and continues to work globally with the leadership team of cycling brand Vittoria.
Firehaus founder and creative partner Ian Bates said: “The Engine Shed move is a reflection of the increasing amount of work we’re doing with businesses ready to scale by igniting their brand with ‘light + heat’.
“It’s a really exciting space to be in, putting us at the beating heart of innovation in the region.”
