About Expert Verdict

A PASSION FOR INNOVATION

The team that was behind the launch of Expert Verdict in 2000 included three of the original five-man crew that set up the Innovations catalogue in 1985. ‘The Verdict’ was of course very different from Innovations but their dedication to the pursuit of innovative products was and is as strong as ever.

A lot has changed in those last 20 plus years and especially in terms of technology, but the company
ethos remains the same – ‘we do the research so that you don’t have to’.

TODAY’S GADGETS, TOMORROW’S ESSENTIALS


Our job at Expert Verdict is to seek out new ideas. Ideas that may seem amazingly innovative today,
but will inevitably become the functional problem-solvers of tomorrow.  
Our products are designed to solve life’s problems big or small.

Our aim from the outset has been to test, compare and evaluate hundreds of products
in orderto identify those, which in our opinion, and in the opinion of “experts”
we have consulted, are simply the ‘Best’ in class.
 

But what is ‘Best’?

We have defined ‘Best’ as those products which we believe offer the best balance between
style, performance, function and value for money.

 

Expertise is born of knowledge, experience and thorough testing and in our search for exceptional
products we’ve drawn on a wide variety of published reports and individual opinions.

Our panel of buyers spend the whole year looking for innovative ideas, researching the competition
and ensuring that the products we select are thoroughly tried and tested.
We do the research so that you don’t have to, saving you valuable time and effort
and removing the guesswork out of shopping for the things you want.

‘An exciting world of innovations with Expert Verdict’.

Whilst we were launching Expert Verdict,
what else was happening in the year 2000?

We began 2000 with the fear of Y2K
the infamous ‘Millennium Bug”
it was expected to cause complete chaos
but in the end it was a non-event!
