About Us
TestHouses began as a concept developed in 2010, shaped by first-hand experience of how difficult it can be to discover and access specialised testing and analysis capability - particularly within universities, where expensive equipment is often underutilised simply because the industry does not know it exists.
​
The idea was explored and refined through MSc innovation projects at the University of Warwick. In 2026, TestHouses will launch commercially, bringing the original concept to life as a practical global marketplace that connects companies, universities, and technical experts across research, development, testing, and validation.
​
Our goal is simple: make capability visible, comparable, and easier to engage - so engineering teams can move faster with confidence.
