About Us

Born out of a materials design studio and a passion for repair.
Sometimes you make a discovery that changes the way you think about your stuff. That’s exactly what happened when our Founder Chris Lefteri brought home what would later become FixIts whilst writing his first book in 2000.
Very quickly Chris and his wife Alison started using this material to fix things around their home (especially with two young children). It became very apparent that this could be as ubiquitous within the home as super glue or Blu Tack.
The idea was brainstormed and toyed with over the next decade and a half until former student of Chris’ and now Co-Founder of FixIts, Forrest Radford, joined the project to help develop this idea into a consumer product.
With his background in product design from the Royal College of Art and eight books on materials and manufacturing under his belt, Chris’s vision for FixIts a product that can repair when tape and glues can’t was born.

Choosing to manufacture responsibly from the beginning
We are proud of the fact that the material and manufacturing for our FixIts sticks is based in the UK as is our packaging. As our product family grows we’re now finding some products are impossible to do/source directly from within the UK.
