Warrington firm EndoEnterprises grows South West presence with RBS trial
Environmental tech firm EndoEnterprises has won a competition with the Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) to run a trial of its core product in the South West.
The Warrington-headquartered company’s EndoTherm product, a central heating additive designed to save energy by helping radiators to heat up more quickly and remain warm for longer, will go through a 12-month trial in Bristol.
EndoTherm is one of 12 eco-products to be tested at the RBS base, as well as NatWest’s Fishponds bank in the city, that were submitted for consideration as part of the RBS Bristol Innovation Gateway launched in the summer.
Matt Hatcher, NatWest’s Bristol-based director of commercial banking, said: “Taking part in the Bristol Go Green initiative was the perfect opportunity to introduce the RBS Innovation Gateway to the city and to launch a search for new, exciting and innovative ways to improve resource efficiency across our properties in Bristol.
“We had 93 applications and it was a tough task to select the final 12 to be trialled. If those innovations prove to be successful in our Bristol properties we hope to introduce them across the entire RBS estate to help us achieve our targets around sustainability.
He continued: “This test-bed also gives us an excellent opportunity to learn which innovations may be of use to our customers.
“It’s a win-win for the companies who now have the chance to trial their products in our buildings and for our customers who will benefit from what we learn.”
