For startups & small businesses
Got an electronics product
but no factory? We’ll make it for you.
Prototyping, PCB assembly, production and delivery with one UK partner. Send us your Gerbers and BOM. No suppliers to chase, no factory to run, no minimum order.
2-minute form · Have your Gerbers & BOM ready · NDA available
Getting electronics built means managing a dozen moving parts.
Each one is a contract, a schedule and a risk. Startups and small businesses usually have none of them in house. Established manufacturers have some, but rarely the spare capacity.

One partner, from first prototype to full production.
Start at whichever stage you are at. Use one stage or both.
-
Prototyping
We build prototypes from your design files, test them with you, and build each new round from your updated files until the product is ready for production.
- Functional prototypes in production-intent materials
- CNC machining, 3D printing, sheet metal and fabrication
- Electronics and PCB assembly for connected products
-
Production and PCB assembly
Your approved design goes to the partner best suited to it, from low-volume batches to full production. We manage the run, inspect and test every batch, and deliver to your door.
- PCB assembly: SMT and through-hole
- Low-volume and batch production
- Full-scale production runs
Less overhead for you, start to finish.
What working with us takes off your plate.
One accountable point of contact
A named person in the UK runs your project from enquiry to delivery. You never chase a supplier you have not met.
The right capability, matched and vetted
We match each job to a partner with the right process, equipment and standards, and check them before your boards go anywhere near them.
Quality assured in writing
Standards, testing and remedies are agreed before work starts. You get the inspection and test records with every batch.
Clear, itemised quotes
Your quote is based on your product's requirements and spells out what is included. If your requirements change, we requote before any extra cost is incurred.
Delivery handled
Packing, freight, paperwork and delivery to your door are part of the job, not an extra for you to arrange.
How it works
A managed, predictable path from your files to finished boards at your door.

Why The Land Yard
- UK-based and accountable. Your contract, your contact and your answers are in the UK, on UK time.
- A vetted manufacturing network behind us. Engineering and production partners checked for capability and standards before they make anything for you.
- Built for long partnerships. We price, plan and behave like a supplier you will still use in five years.
Our quality commitment
Standards, testing and acceptance criteria are agreed in writing before work begins. If a board does not meet what we agreed, we put it right at our cost. Every batch ships with its inspection and test records.
Questions buyers ask us
Anything else? Book a call and ask us directly.
Is there a minimum order size?
No fixed minimum. We take on single prototypes, low-volume batches of tens or hundreds, and production runs in the thousands. For each project we tell you plainly at quote stage where the unit price starts to fall and whether your volume suits the process.
How long does a typical project take?
It depends on board complexity, component lead times and quantity, and every quote includes a written timeline. As a guide, a first prototype usually takes a few weeks, and a first production run from several weeks to a few months once the prototype is signed off. Component lead times are usually the biggest factor.
How do quotes and pricing work?
Every product is different, so pricing depends on your requirements: components, board complexity, quantities, testing and timeline. Share your files, we talk it through on a call, and we send a free written quote with no obligation. If your requirements change, we requote before any extra cost is incurred.
How do you control quality?
Quality standards, test requirements and acceptance criteria are agreed in writing before work starts. First articles are inspected and signed off with you, production batches are inspected and tested before release, and you receive the records. If a board does not meet the agreed standard, we put it right at our cost.
How do you protect our designs and IP?
We sign a mutual non-disclosure agreement before you share drawings or files if you want one. Your designs remain yours, manufacturing partners only see what they need for their part of the work, and we do not reuse customer designs for anyone else.
Where is the manufacturing done?
Through a vetted network of engineering and manufacturing partners in the UK and overseas, including India. We choose the partner for each project on capability, standards and cost, and tell you where your parts are made. Projects with security or export-control restrictions are kept to partners that meet them.
Which sectors do you work with?
Pharmaceutical and life sciences, defence and security, and industrial and general manufacturing. We work with startups and small businesses that have a product designed but no factory, and with established manufacturers that need a dependable extra partner.
What do I need before I get in touch?
Finished design files. We build products, we don't design them. Have your Gerber files, a bill of materials (BOM) with manufacturer part numbers, a pick-and-place (centroid) file, an assembly drawing, and any test requirements or standards your product must meet. If you don't have these yet, you'll need a design engineer first. Come back to us when your files are ready.
What happens after I send an enquiry?
We call you within 24 hours to go through your files and requirements. A written quote and plan usually follows within a week. Nothing starts until you approve it.
Tell us what you’re building. We’ll call you within 24 hours.
Six short questions. Then we call you to go through your files, quantities and timing.
