Take the Tour - We Are 40

Prototype Projects is 40!

Prototype Projects was established in 1980 by Dennis McFetrich. In 1999, A G Pringle Ltd bought the company and it has been run by the Pringle family ever since.

Take the Virtual Tour

We had four ‘Take the Tour’ events planned throughout 2020 as part of our 40th-anniversary celebrations. Given the unstable circumstances at present, we have replaced those events with virtual tours.

Book your tour 

If you’re interested in booking your virtual tour, please send us a message with your preferred dates and times in the contact form below. We’ll then take you on a personalised tour, via Zoom, so you can see our facilities and ask us any questions you may have.
