It started
back in 1995 when Highspeed showcased their new products at BTME in Harrogate.
The
company planned entering the turf maintenance sector, so BTME seemed the
logical solution. Results from that first attendance 24 years ago exceeded
expectations, generating excellent business.
Every year
the company exhibited at BTME and on each occasion new customers were found.
Over the years at BTME, many products and services, legislative driven, were
introduced. Initially, waste management services were established with hundreds
of golf clubs and others in turf management.
Fuel and
oil tanks were in great demand when new legislation was introduced and a range
of tanks were exhibited. Workwear and PPE followed but the biggest launch was
that of the ClearWater washpad water recycling system in January 2003.
Highspeed’s
directors decided a few years ago to consider retirement and sell the business.
They felt it necessary to find the right company, preferably operating in the
waste management sector, to develop the work and build on achievements.
ClearWater was seen to have great potential.
In Spring
2017, Acumen Waste Services Ltd acquired the company declaring a commitment to
the development of well-established ClearWater. To exemplify this, a separate
ClearWater Division, led by General Manager Matthew Mears, was set up.
Strong
promotion by Acumen of ClearWater is underway ensuring ClearWater’s growth and
success. Showcasing ClearWater is important at BTME and the Prize Draw (a free
ClearWater system) will run again along with attractive finance options.
There’s an
expanded presence of waste management services too; Acumen’s speciality.
