BROTHERS TAKE ON THE DRAGONS

Brothers Richard and Jim George braved the Dragons’ Den to try and secure backing for a product that aims to stop premature fence post rot.

The plucky pair from Staunton presented their PostSaver invention to the panel of multi-millionaires during episode 3 of the popular BBC 2 TV series, which aired last night (August 14).

After a nerve-wracking pitch, the brothers were made offers by four of the Dragons but a final agreement on a deal could not be reached.

“Under the glare and pressure of being in front of the Dragons, I think we may have made the wrong decision by not accepting an offer, but only time will tell,” said Jim George.

“And although appearing on Dragons’ Den was a gruelling experience and not something to be undertaken lightly, it was a fantastic opportunity to pit our wits against a formidable team,” he added.

The brothers came up with the idea for the protective dual-layer fence post sleeve after the EU ruled that only environment-friendly preservatives could be used to treat timber fencing.

“The new preservatives are less effective which means that instead of posts lasting on average 15 years, they can now rot through at ground level in only a few years, which leaves consumers with an otherwise perfectly good fence that has to be replaced,” explained Jim.

PostSaver sleeves comprise a tough polythene outer layer lined with a meltable sealant and are designed to keep preservatives in and decay out. They are easily applied using a low-cost gas blow torch.

While they couldn’t agree a deal on PostSaver, the brothers are already contemplating a second shot at the show with another invention. They have developed a special fuel-saving spout for use with fuel cans, which works just like a petrol nozzle at the garage and prevents overfilling by stopping the flow when the tank is full.

By George! A no spill filler that dispenses with waste

The Easy-Fill insert can be used to dispense a range of fluids. A device for pouring liquids in a controlled fashion without wasteful over-filling and spills has been developed and patented by a pair of entrepreneurs.

It not only filters and delivers the liquid in a smooth, even flow into receptacles such as drinking glasses, fuel tanks and medicine bottles, it also automatically stops dispensing the fluid once the required level is reached.

The low-cost plastic insert, the invention of brothers Jim and Richard George, of Staunton, Gloucestershire, was initially conceived for a multi-purpose safety spout for filling fuel tanks on portable power tools. It is already stocked by a number of retailers in the agricultural, automotive and marine markets.

“Having the ability to cheaply and quickly dispense liquids to a precise level offers many advantages. Imagine being able to fill a wine glass to a consistent and precise level in a few seconds,” said Jim George.
