ANTI-ODOUR PRODUCT FIRM CLEANING UP WITH SUPPORT FROM


YORKSHIRE BANK A Newcastle-based manufacturer of odour control products has moved to new premises and is more than doubling its workforce with support from Yorkshire Bank.


The company, 2Pure, obtained a six figure funding package from Yorkshire Bank’s North East Customer Banking Centre, with the deal delivered by relationship manager Andrew Grundy.


2Pure’s product range was developed using unique patented technology which destroys odours by changing the molecular structure of odour compounds. It also kills odour-causing bacteria, which helps to prevent odours from returning and keep treated areas hygienic.


The firm’s flagship product is OdorBac, a powerful cleaning liquid which was specially formulated for use in commercial environments. End users include NHS Trusts, Care UK, the British Museum, Newcastle United and London Overground.


Other products include pet care, car care, stain removers and air purifiers.


The Newcastle born-and-bred business, which spent 20 years developing its technology before gaining a patent in 2014, has tripled production over the past year. The company recently moved to bigger premises in Eltringham Works in Prudhoe to help meet demand and there are plans to create 14 new jobs. 2Pure, which currently employs about 10 staff, is a new customer of Yorkshire Bank.


Barry Donaghey, Managing Director of 2Pure, said: “It’s a very exciting time for us. Since gaining our patent a couple of years ago, we have worked hard to establish the brand. We’re now at a point where our products are used by many major UK organisations and we’re gradually being adopted by households across the land.
