Under the umbrella of Standby Plug Ltd
Former Butlins Redcoat, Karl,
is a plasterer by day and inventor by night. His idea for the
Standby Plug came about in 2006. He entered his idea into an online
competition sponsored by Vodafone and SkyOne called The
Big Idea. He scooped the £10,000 first prize in January
2007 which he then ploughed into developing the plug and looking
for manufacturers.
Anyone who saw the last series of Dragon's Den, saw a similar
standby product pounced upon by all 5 dragons (a series first,
although the product was later shelved due to patent problems)
this served to highlight and publicise the benefits his own idea
to a massive TV audience.
Finally two years after the standby
idea's conception it has been developed to it's latest guise the
energenie standby shutdown®
we are now selling the product through this website
