Inflight Peripherals Limited (IFPL) is founded by Geoff Underwood. The company begins life as a design consultancy based in Geoff's home.
Geoff identifies an issue of unreliable on-board headphone sockets, designing an alternative that lasts for over twenty times longer than existing products. IFPL's first contract is to supply 300 units - Geoff builds the products in his garage with the help of his family.
