. when my young daughter started to com­ plain of headaches when we went on holiday, I started to wonder about the quality of the air inside the car. I knew that most cars are fitted with a pollen filter and had a look at mine. It was blocked up and filthy! “I searched the Internet for a supplier ol


the latest filters, but I was frustrated when 1 couldn’t find a single stockist where I could buy direct. I could fit the filter myseF, ^ j knew it was a very simple job and I


wanted


to avoid the expense and inconvenience ol taking my car to the garage for them to order and fit a filter for me. Instead I got on


and set up the company!” Now Mr Anderson’s company imports


high-tech filters for over 160 different makes and models and sells them by mail order
