The nutty professor

Posted by Andrew Mernin on February 28, 2008 1:31 PM | 

Are you a budding Edison or Einstein with an idea that will change the world? Good news. One of Britain's most brilliant inventors is coming your way.

Yesterday I met Trevor Baylis, inventor of the clockwork radio, over a plate of mince and dumplings at a science and technology conference.

And the man who told me "inventors are not anoraks or lunatics" wants to bring his empire to the North East.

He runs a company dedicated to helping inventors bring their brainchilds to market and is hoping to unearth the next big thing on our patch.

A video of Trevor at yesterday's event is available by clicking on the link below:

This is an insular, backward and xenophobic region. I find it comical that you business writers get excited about such trivial matters.
