Cottam Director, Ben Cottam, recently attended an event at the House of Lords as a guest of BIPC North East.
The Business & Intellectual Property Centre is operated by the British Library and offers support to small businesses in the UK. Cottam were invited to attend as we benefitted from the BIPC’s advice on intellectual property when developing our rapid lock system, an innovative assembly solution that is now used across our broom range.
The event was part of the launch of the Democratising Entrepreneurship 2.0 report, which looks at the impact the BIPC national network has had over a three-year period.
During the event, Cottam was given the opportunity to display our weir brush system as part of the event. The water industry has been criticised by the media in recent months, particularly around their handling of wastewater overflowing into UK rivers and seas.
With cleaner water and operational efficiency on the agenda for many water companies, weir systems and in particular the cleanliness of weir systems is often overlooked. The Cottam waste water brush (manufactured at our site in Hebburn, Tyne and Wear) is used to clean settlement tanks, which results in improved performance and reduced downtime.

It was a privilege for Ben to represent not only Cottam Brush but also our region at this fantastic event. We look forward to future events...
