Geco Industries, incorporated the same day as my last exam in university, was set up to make alternative energy affordable and accessible. Fuel4, manufactured in Sheffield, was the first exciting product from Geco Industries and in its first year secured an exclusivity deal with the fastest growing and largest outdoors retailer, Go Outdoors.

Created to overcome the challenge of 2 million deaths a year from indoor air pollution, our bioethanol gel is smokeless, non- toxic and an ultimately safer fuel for cooking and heating versus substitutes. With plans for new products, we aim to eradicate unnecessarily harmful fuels.

We are pleased to have replaced all methylated spirits within the Outdoor industry and with partners (AMG ltd) have become recommended by the Scouting Association and the Duke of Edinburgh awards. We have increased our business turnover by more than 100% every year since starting and plan to turnover £1m over the next 12 months. Our new brand and products for 2015 will see us enter Europe, Grocery multiples and Large home and leisure retailers. All of this will help us drive our mission to make fuels safer and cleaner across the globe.
