"It was good to work with a team who are dedicated to their field and know the law, the claims process, the pitfalls and who knows how to draft the technical reports at speed. I can't really complain about how the R&D claim was done. We were very, very happy"

If your company is taking a risk by innovating, improving, or developing a process, product, or service, then it will likely qualify for R&D tax credits.
A good test to determine if the work undertaken qualifies as R&D, is whether your project team faced uncertain outcomes at the start of the project.
That means that your team did not know from the outset whether a particular outcome was achievable.
If you can show that your project goes beyond simply applying existing technologies, then you may be eligible to make a claim.
