Our History
Welcome to B Duncan – a powerhouse of firmware expertise, where innovation thrives and solutions come to life. Our journey began in 2010, with one engineer, Barrie, armed with nothing but a laptop and an insatiable passion for engineering. Little did we know that this humble beginning would pave the way for a remarkable adventure.
From those early days, we attracted challenging projects and like-minded individuals who shared our enthusiasm. These engineers eventually became the cornerstone of our team. What started as a one-man band has blossomed into a thriving company that now calls a spacious two-story Auckland office with a fully equipped lab and testing space, its home.
Over the years, our path has intersected with some of New Zealand’s biggest names and international clients, including Schneider Electric, Fisher and Paykel, Tait Communications, Wellington Drive Technologies, Wahoo Fitness, East West Manufacturing, Masco Corporation, to name a few.

Our Approach
We make no assumptions when determining causes, making decisions, and creating solutions. By validating our strategies we ensure their effectiveness and reliability. Informed by meaningful data from repeatable experiments, we make decisions confidently, ensuring that every step is grounded in empirical evidence.
We believe in simplicity. Complex problems are dissected and simplified into manageable components, enabling us to address each aspect systematically and efficiently. Tasks are not started until well defined, so we all understand what’s required. Throughout everything, we make sure our approaches are easy to understand for everyone involved.
