Who are Solid Solutions?

Our Story

Founded in 1998, Solid Solutions have amassed over 20 years of experience in delivering best-in-class services and solutions. Having become the leading provider of SOLIDWORKS throughout the UK and Ireland, Solid Solutions have grown through several strategic partnerships and acquisitions, forming the Solid Solutions Group.
