About the Reusa-Can Project

About the founder Gerry Evans

Gerry Evans first started in business in 1973-1980 and formed the first company to get a government contract removing asbestos from buildings. He then set up his second company in 1980 designing valves and other equipment for the water industry, During that period he was runner up in the Tomorrows World Competition in 1987 for Innovation and Production and was runner up in the water industries Hydro Awards in 1995 for Outstanding Achievement in the field of Water Quality Improvement.

Having retired in 1996 and taking an interest in garden birds he gradually, over a period of three years, came around to the idea of refurbishing cans having put fat blocks in them for some time and thinking of different ways of marketing them. He believe s that this concept is the most important design of his career.

Gerry Evans acknowledges the help and support his long-standing friend Graham Cole Director of C&T Engr. Weston-super-Mare who has done all the basic engineering to prove that the project will work. Without his help the project would never have reached this stage.
