Is it me, but if you drop a bottle down a chute into a bin in a basement, surely it will be in pieces without the aid of a machine. Plus I seem to remember a machine like this at TESCO recycling points many years ago and they kept breaking down

Wikipedia Nick Jenkins was never listed a shareholder so they believe the deal wasn’t completed

Jenny invested more than Sarah willingham, doug richard, kelly hoppen and piers linny combined

I don't want to invest today, on tomorrow's price. Amazing quote Jonesy!

what a smashing idea!

This guy now owns 7 brothels and a takeaway shop in Cornwall. Anythings possible

As someone who has been in the trade for 23 years (tho not for the last 5 months), glass disposal isn't an issue. Downstairs cellars aren't as common in bars anymore, especially in big city centres. The main problem is SPACE. Cellars big and small are packed with kegs and cooler systems and different machinery and for health and safety reasons space still needs allocated for safe manoeuvring by staff... that's why good old fashioned glass disposal as he demonstrated at the start is still used. Staff wear ear protection and safety glasses and most of these glass bins are kept off-street/alleys and away from customers. They're also collected and recycled. Yeah, it's a racket, but very rarely for customers that it's a problem.

His other pitch was for his own invention which was a glass hammer.

Most sensible person I’ve ever seen

The company still exists, and are ticking over, but did the deal with Nick go through? I think not.
