I have been really impressed with the service and expertise offered by Shorts’ Radius in this area, and their ability to quickly assess our eligibility to claim. From start to finish, the whole process was extremely straightforward and I would recommend anyone who is thinking about claiming R&D relief to talk to the team at Shorts.

Airmaster are specialists in bespoke energy-efficient systems for heating and cooling. Here’s how the Radius team helped them secure valuable R&D tax relief.
How the Radius team helped
R&D specialists from the Radius team interviewed key professionals at Airmaster to determine the company’s qualifying R&D projects and to identify qualifying costs. The Radius team then prepared the claim and the supporting report for the Airmaster team to review, ensuring minimal time impact on the company.
The R&D projects carried out by Airmaster involve bespoke design work. Their clients often have complex requirements, requiring the installation of systems within confined spaces and uniquely designed buildings. As a result, Airmaster develop solutions to directly address these challenges, whilst looking to fulfil a commitment to producing energy efficient systems. A commitment which requires testing, software modelling, calculations, and redesign; all of which fall within the scope of the R&D scheme.
About Airmaster
Airmaster are specialists in the design, installation, and maintenance of bespoke energy-efficient systems for heating and cooling, including commercial plumbing and ventilation. Centrally located in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, with national reach, they have built a thriving business based on long-term working partnerships with their customers.
Airmaster was introduced to Shorts in 2018 by the Barnsley & Rotherham Chamber of Commerce. The company had previously thought that their trading activities would be ineligible for R&D tax relief, so had never submitted a claim. With the help of Shorts’ Radius team, they have since submitted several R&D tax relief claims, and have used the significant amount of reclaimed corporation tax to reinvest into the business.
