B-tidy is the registered trade mark of Blackburn Associates. The B-tidy Home and Garden Tidy was designed by Peter and Barbara Blackburn out of a need to find a product that would solve two of the most common problems gardeners experience:
KEEPING A REFUSE BAG OPEN AND UPRIGHT WHEN FILLING IT WITH GARDEN WASTE
KEEPING GARDEN TOOLS TOGETHER AND NOT LOSING THEM AROUND THE GARDEN
NOW AVAILABLE WITH THE FOLLOWING ACCESSORIES – RE-USABLE SACKS IN PACKS OF 2, HAND TOOLS, SETS OF 3 & 5.
Barbara and Peter are first and foremost gardeners rather than inventors. The
B-tidy Home and Garden Tidy has been developed with the assistance of Wales Innovators Network of which Barbara and Peter are members. Their product was exhibited at the Geneva Inventors and New Products Exhibition in April 2006, at which they were awarded a Bronze Medal in their category. This has resulted in considerable public, media and trade interest in the product, both in the U.K. and in Europe.
The product started life as a simple frame that had been discarded from another item. It did the job of keeping open a refuse bag, but obviously needed to be refined in terms of design and materials used. It was the start of the concept
of the B-tidy range and after many months of building prototypes and using them in their garden, the B-tidy Home and Garden Tidy was developed.
The product has had extensive trials with consumers during its development and comprehensive Market Research indicated very positive potential consumer interest. Blackburn Associates have now developed a range of accessories that compliment the Garden & Home Workstation. These products were successfully exhibited at Glee 2006 and The Spring Fair 2007 with a growing number of companies selecting the products to feature in their ranges.
The B-tidy range has been manufactured to the highest of standards. Materials used are strong, robust and will withstand the rigours of climate changes.
