Syed Ahmed, founder and the driving force behind SAVortex, a UK based technology company brought together leaders in the Indian and Bangladeshi Restaurant Industry to discuss the importance of cutting operating costs significantly within their restaurants by implementing sustainability and energy efficient products.

Syed added “Our Eco-Smart Vortex hand dryer uses only 550w to dry hands in just 10 seconds and is designed to last a life time. It saves around £171,00 per year against a conventional 2400w dryer and brings a new dimension to eliminating hidden costs and dramatically reducing the total cost of ownership over the life of the product which are simply not available with other leading hand dryers.  The Vortex is cost effective to install, with easy retro-fitting and has no new wiring requirements, and most importantly – it dry’s your hands!”

Lutfur Rahman, Major of London Borough of Tower Hamlets was a guest. He said: ”It is a privilege to be here and I congratulate you, Syed on your motivation and applaud your vision to develop a sustainable company and production in the UK.  I welcome you Syed from our community to bring the vision we need for today and tomorrow. What you have done is a testament to your courage and commitment.”

Pasha Kondokhar, president of the BCA said: “You are doing something innovative and really different and I pray for you and I know you will do it. You have to cut spending to get through this recession and this product can help you do this. By buying this product you can save money and make a difference”.

Shamin Hoque CEO Curries Online added, “The industry does need this and we all need to work towards sustainability and the environment. Your Customers will also appreciate it if you are doing something for the environment.”

SAVortex clients include McDonalds franchises and the London Muslim Centre. By way of a testimonial Usamah K. Ward, Facilities Manager at the East London mosque & the London Muslim centre said: “We have been delighted with the performance of our new Vortex Eco Smart Hand Dryers over the last few months. They are subjected to periods of intense use on a daily basis, and they dry hands much faster than the traditional dryers they replaced. Yet they use much less electricity, which not only saves money but also helps reduce our carbon footprint.”
