Stage Bus Scales up Manufacture<br />
A BLACK Country engineer with a passion for sustainability is<br />
disrupting the events industry with a new stage innovation.<br />
Andrew Teverson, who started The Stage Bus in 2006 with<br />
inheritance money from his grandparents, has used years of<br />
experience to develop the Stage Box, a stage platform that can<br />
operate from the back of a truck or as a detachable unit that selfdismounts<br />
using hydraulic legs.<br />
Built into a converted 20ft container, the entire stage is solar<br />
powered, can run for up to eight hours on a full charge, takes less<br />
than one hour to set up and comes with all the audio-visual and<br />
PA systems a band or organiser could wish for.<br />
It can be used for events or festivals attracting up to 5,000<br />
people and has already been chosen by Battersea Power Station<br />
to celebrate the King’s Coronation as well as by the London<br />
Marathon.<br />
With interest in The Stage Box going through the roof, the<br />
Halesowen-based entrepreneur is now looking to scale up<br />
manufacturing to provide the concept for longer-team leases or<br />
for sale in the UK and overseas.<br />
It is an ambition that could generate an additional £600,000 in<br />
revenue and create five new jobs at the firm’s Black Country base.<br />

Sale Division Launches<br />
TO COMPLEMENT the success of its thriving and UK wide shepherds<br />
hut washroom hire service, the directors of Nomadic Washrooms are<br />
now pleased to announce the opening of their new sales division,<br />
which will specialise in the design and construction of bespoke<br />
shepherds hut toilet and shower facilities for fixed and semi-fixed<br />
site venues.<br />
The team brings together years of experience in the provision<br />
of washroom facilities and bespoke design to recreate its trusted<br />
washroom concept for more permanent installations. Whether that<br />
be a shepherds hut toilet block for a fancy gastro pub garden, a<br />
bespoke shower facility for an expanding campsite or a couple of<br />
complete shepherds hut bathrooms for that more intimate setting,<br />
the team has got you covered.<br />
All Nomadic Washrooms retail shepherds huts are built on<br />
custom-made steel chassis with authentic-looking ‘cast iron’ style<br />
wheels. The units are, therefore, movable with a tractor or 4x4<br />
around a site for ease of installation and winter storage. Each unit<br />
is built in the same style as their own rental fleet, with a corrugated<br />
iron external appearance and wooden internal cladding to give that<br />
rustic look and feel.<br />

Demand for 6,000 use Zero Discharge Toilet<br />
NATSOL IS increasing sales of its stand-alone Zero<br />
Discharge (ZD) toilet. This is a pump-out toilet,<br />
not a composting toilet, and is very useful<br />
on busier public sites. Each toilet can take<br />
around 6,000 uses.<br />
This model of toilet was originally<br />
designed for large facilities such as architectdesigned<br />
buildings with numerous cubicles.<br />
But NatSol decided that it could be an<br />
excellent product for less busy sites where just<br />
one or two toilets are required.<br />
This led to the development of the ZD2. This is a<br />
wheelchair-accessible, non-composting toilet for remote sites where<br />
no mains sewage is available. Many of these sites do not have water<br />
either and hand cleansing is by alcohol gel dispensers.<br />
NatSol often supplies one of its own buildings for these sites.<br />
Shown in the picture are two such toilets supplied for a village<br />
green in West Sussex. Ventilation on this type of site is by passive<br />
ventilation duct. In larger facilities with numerous cubicles, the<br />
company is more likely to supply a fan-driven vent, but passive<br />
ventilation works well for individual cubicles.<br />
Emptying is infrequent and takes place by removal of the toilet<br />
pedestal.<br />
