Runners-up in the 'Innovation of the Year' Awards
Company Background and History
Cavity Protection Systems Limited was formed in 2002 to hold the
patents, trade marks, design and copyright of the Cavity Protection
Liner.
The Company is owned and controlled by its directors; Patrick Bray, Barry Clark, Alex Grant and Nigel Barker. Pat and Barry are the inventors of this unique yet simple liner, which took more than 3 years of research and development.
Patrick Bray
Initially a Cipher and Communications Operator in the Royal Signals,
then an instructor in Germany for Class II operators. Subsequently
responsible for concept, design and operation of the first Microwave
Oven Centre at Allders in Portsmouth, which was then installed across
the group. Engaged as a Company Director of a microwave oven wholesaler
for over 25 years ago, specialising and qualifying in sales and
servicing of commercial microwave ovens.
Barry Clark
A colleague of Patrick Bray's, Barry attends training courses for
servicing, concentrating on general and routine repairs and provision of
spares. Barry frequently advises engineers from other companies
throughout the UK and trains apprentice engineers to reach a
qualification standard.
Because of his knowledge and practical experience with commercial
microwave ovens, he realised that the main cause of oven breakdown was
the lack of correct cleaning procedures and that a quick and easy method
of maintaining hygiene standards was necessary. This led Pat and Barry
to develop, over a three year period, a specially engineered rigid
re-useable liner. Essential considerations were microwave safe, food
safe and washer safe of high flash point.
Alex Grant
Alex, a Portsmouth based business man (whose company 'Kall Kwik' also
designed the logo for CPS) comes with a successful overseas business
background as diverse as hotel and catering to construction projects.
Alex was, from the conceptual stage, an enthusiastic admirer of the
project and full of encouragement, in the development of the liner.
Nigel Barker
Nigel has largely been involved in the oil business during his career,
based through Europe and the Middle East. Now living in Surrey, he is
involved in various ongoing projects. He too was similarly impressed
with the Liner concept and had absolutely no hesitation in investing in
CPSL.
Dont take our word for it...
The Ship Inn
Rita Delahunty, co-manager of the Ship Inn in Hampshire told Jeremy Dunning of the Portsmouth Evening News BUSINESS WEEK:
"We have tested it and we think it's really good. The thing is that you
just slip the liner out at the end of the shift and put it in the
dishwasher to clean it. Before hand, we would have been getting our
heads in to see where any spills had stuck"
