Latest news from Derek Foxcroft, Carbon Abatement Technology:

We are pleased to announce that we have attained our very first Environmental Award: The Green Business Network – Tees Valley Bronze Award which was presented us at the Boho Centre, Middlesbrough on 20th April. So begins the journey of bigger and better achievement in helping people and businesses to reduce their impact on the environment through commonsense application of low or no cost solutions to transport emissions.

The Silver Award has already started for us and we hope to make a similar announcement in due course.

We are also pleased to announce that we made it into the Low Carbon Vehicle Directory 2010 published by the government. We are shown on page 71 under our old image of Re-Freshco Ltd. Still us, just different stripes! This is a fantastic accolade and we will aim to create an additional stir for next year’s directory.

Finally today we would very much like to ask for your support once again for a competition we have entered. The Barclays Bank “Take One Small Step” competition is both prestigious and financially rewarding for us as a business but we know we cannot win this without you, our friends, avid fans, customers and future customers. Our entry is found here: https://www.takeonesmallstep.co.uk/Entry/View/1400

Our technology has always been about getting it out there and helping people like yourself and your company or business to save money whilst helping the planet too. Without “People Power” or “Power of Mouse” (Thanks to Andy Hanselman for this worthy strap line) we are going to get absolutely nothing from Government to help us do both, so please join in and support our bid to win the North East Regional Vote, at least this way you KNOW your valuable VOTE and OPINION will be a force for change.

Our promise to you is this.

First – Just for voting we will provide you with a discount on our automotive system of 15% or FREE Fitting, whichever means more to you.

Second – If we win the North East Vote we will give you BOTH!

How do you help us? Click the link www.takeonesmallstep.co.uk/Entry/View/1400 Listen to a very nervous Derek on the video and then vote for it when that starts on June 7th to July 4th, support it right now by clicking on the box at the top right hand side, enter the code and you have shown your support. Thank you.

Live testing of our system starts within weeks as we now have a physical prototype fitted to a Heavy Goods Vehicle here in the North East. Results are expected to be better than anticipated due to improvements made to the original design. We have also achieved three customer pre-orders, two of which are based here in the North East and the larger customer is a National company.

We have recently won grant support from NEEIC and are talking to a number of venture capitalists here in the region through one of which we may gain Carbon Trust Incubator status which will boost our exposure, order book and sales beyond measure. This is not just our success story, it is a North East success story too as without the “Can and will do” attitude of the region, we may not have made it so far.

The Entrepreneurs’ Forum has created a quality network for my own development with great advice from Sir Peter Vardy, Roy Stanley and countless others and some fantastic events that have out shone the competitors offerings by a wide mile. Thanks to you all.
