23: Meet Adam Sutcliffe, Dyson Award winning inventor of the Orbel Wearable Hand Sanitiser.
David Bradley interviews the inventor, Adam Sutcliffe. He tells his story about how he came to be a Dyson Award winner, and how he came up with the idea for Orbel, a unique, ergonomic wearable hand sanitiser. So far, 1m have been sold since launch earlier this year (this being written in June 2020) and sales are growing rapidly. Certainly, the wearable hand sanitiser niche is fast growing market and the Orbel is the “Big Thing” within it. Fitting perfectly in the palm of your hand, when rubbed, some carefully engineered roller balls turn and release just the right amount of hand sanitiser. It is quite a pleasurable, almost sensual feeling, with the effect of encouraging regular use. An Orbel can be clipped conveniently onto a breast pocket, belt or armband, which makes it not only convenient to use, but shows others that whoever is wearing it has Covid-free hands. Reassuring too for hospital patients during more normal times. For more information visit www.nextbigthing.show/orbel.
