About ABetterMousetrap.co.uk
Peter Bissell (professor of mechanical engineering, UNESCO and World Bank consultant) and Graham Barker (copywriter and escaped English lecturer) first formed a somewhat improbable team in 1983. They were hired to run a pioneering innovation centre set up by a UK local authority specifically to help inventors. It was an instant hit with inventors but commercial returns were slow to materialise – a common dilemma for invention support initiatives.
