Our ethos

Employee ownership and engagement
At Craft Prospect, we are deeply committed to the practice of peer-to-peer learning. Since our inception, it has been our vision to put ownership of the business into the hands of the engineers who make everything we do possible. As of 2024, over 20% of the business is already in employee hands.
Diversity in leadership
The Craft team is proudly diverse by sexual orientation, ethnicity, and neurotype. 10% of our workforce are highly-skilled migrants, and we come from backgrounds spanning Asia, Africa, and Europe, as well as plenty of homegrown Scottish talent. With a 40% female management team, we are well above the gender leadership benchmark for engineering organisations.
Talent
We have consulted on design and operations for missions sponsored by both the UK Space Agency (UKSA) and the European Space Agency (ESA). 90% of our workforce have higher degrees, including 4 PhDs. We actively and proudly recruit and train talent from Scottish universities, with 80% of our team’s degree work completed here.
Community outreach and paying it forward is central to the Craft mindset. We are proud of the Govan community where our office and lab are based. Our team is active in schools outreach to teach children about the wonderful world of engineering. We have supported homelessness through the Big Sleepout and local theatre, and we love to work with local Glasgow charity The Children’s Wood.
Outreach
Based in Glasgow
Craft Prospect was founded in 2017 in Glasgow, Scotland. Once a global shipbuilding hub, Glasgow is now the SmallSat capital of Europe. With our offices located in the iconic Fairfield Heritage Centre, which lies at the heart of Glasgow’s shipbuilding history, we are proud to honour our amazing city’s engineering roots by bringing it into the space age!
The Craft Crew in Action
At Craft Prospect, we understand that a company is nothing without its team. We are proud of our crew’s visionary talent, nimble intelligence, innovative ideas, and all the incredible work they do.
