Why Choose Norham Design Ltd

With Roy, you’re not simply hiring a CAD technician. You’re working with an engineer who understands how products are designed, manufactured and brought to life.

Nearly 40 years of engineering experience.
Professional 2D & 3D CAD expertise.
Photorealistic rendering and visualisation.
Practical, manufacturing-focused design solutions.
Reliable, personal service from concept to completion.

With almost four decades of experience in mechanical design and draughting, I’ve built a career around solving engineering challenges through practical, intelligent design.

I founded Norham Design Ltd in 2019, bringing together nearly 40 years of industry knowledge to provide professional 2D and 3D CAD design, product visualisation, and technical drawing services for clients across the UK.

My engineering journey began in 1987 and has taken me across a diverse range of industries, including:

  • Mobile hydraulic lifting equipment
  • Stainless steel pressure vessels
  • GRP storage tanks
  • Defence engineering
  • Architectural façade systems
  • Nuclear containment and pond liner systems
  • Commercial kitchen and interior design

This broad experience means I understand not just how to design components, but how they are manufactured, assembled and perform in the real world.

Specialist Software
