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.

The Spyglass Inn
Ryan Kinneavy is head chef at the Spyglass Inn, Ventnor, Isle of Wight, a busy family-run pub where homemade food is freshly cooked in batches. To help them cope with the high season’s trade, which sees them average 750-800 meals a day in the summer, they use 11 microwaves to heat up single portions.
Ryan, who’s worked at the Spyglass Inn for 15 years, says:
"We've been using the Microsave™ for several years and they’re brilliant. We were involved in testing out some prototypes when they were first being developed."
"They’re easy to use and they cut back on general maintenance and daily caretaking and cleaning of the microwaves. We clean them three times a day after each shift. When you pull out the Microsave, the inside of the microwave is virtually clean; it just needs a quick wipe round."
