We're incredibly proud that our Managing Director, Antoni Dimitrov, was invited to represent Eco Drift at a roundtable hosted by the University of Portsmouth with Peter Kyle, Secretary of State for Business and Trade.

As a graduate of the Help to Grow: Management programme, Antoni joined fellow business owners to discuss entrepreneurship, business growth and the impact the programme has had on SMEs across the region.

Help to Grow has been an important part of Eco Drift's journey, helping shape many of the systems, decisions and long-term plans that continue to support our growth today.

With more than 270 businesses having completed the programme through the University of Portsmouth, it's fantastic to see the positive impact it's having on local businesses and the wider economy.

A huge thank you to the University of Portsmouth, Becky Lodge, Dan Lodge and the entire team for the invitation and for continuing to support ambitious businesses across the South.

Scrubbing for Good. Vol. 3. 🦪
Yesterday, 55 of us scrubbed 6,000 native oysters in a single day. Ahead of schedule by the end of it too.

This week’s mission: 20,000 oysters cleaned, packed, and released into Chichester Marina by Friday.

One oyster can filter up to 200 litres of water a day.
20,000 oysters = around 4 million litres of water filtered daily once established.

And over time, once they settle and breed, those numbers only grow.

This isn’t just a one-off clean-up. It’s the start of a living, self-expanding filtration system in the Solent.

A few hours of scrubbing oysters, catching up, having a laugh, and doing something genuinely good at the same time.

Huge respect to the teams making this happen:

🦪 Solent Seascape Project
🦪 Chichester Marina

If you ever get the chance to join a session, do it.
It’s messy. It’s hard work.
And it’s genuinely great.

Oysters for good. One at a time.

Commercial cleaning has a technology problem.
And we believe that is also part of its recruitment problem.

Today, Antoni joined Haigh on the FM
Technology Show to talk about AI, sensors, robotics, automation, data, and the future of commercial cleaning.

The UK cleaning, hygiene and waste sector employs around 1.5 million people, but only 9% are under 25, while 27% are over 55.

That should make the industry stop and think.
If we want younger people to see cleaning as a real career, we need to stop presenting it like an industry stuck in the past.

Technology can help teams respond earlier, reduce wasted time, and put effort where it matters most.

But the biggest point from today’s conversation was this:
Technology is not the hard part.

People are.

A big thank you to Natalie for the invitation and for making the topic so accessible.

Changing the technology is one thing.
Changing the stigma around the industry is the bigger job.

106,900 seeds went into the Solent this weekend.
And that’s only the start.

Last weekend, we were knee-deep in the Solent planting seagrass alongside an incredible group of volunteers.

50,300 seeds at Seaview on the Isle of Wight.
56,600 at Calshot.
106,900 in total — the biggest single planting effort this project has seen.

Why does it matter?

Because the Solent once had thriving seagrass meadows.
Now, almost gone.

Seagrass:
stores carbon faster than land ecosystems
stabilises the seabed
supports fish, seahorses, and entire food chains

All of that, nearly gone.

We’re now in our third year supporting the Seagrass Restoration Project with Hampshire and Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust.

Collecting seed. Sorting it. Planting it.
Then coming back to see what survives.

No shortcuts.
No instant results.
No guarantees.

A huge thank you to everyone involved — especially the volunteers who show up, get cold, and get it done.

We took our cleaning robot to an AI conference.

And it turns out a lot of people had questions.

On 24th March the Eco Drift team exhibited at Solent FutureScape, the Solent Growth Partnership's inaugural AI and technology conference in Hedge End.

We demonstrated Proximetrix, our own smart building sensor platform, and ran a live cleaning robot demo as part of a session on technology adoption in facilities management.

The question that came up most was not about the technology. It was about people. How do you bring your team with you?

How do you make sure automation elevates your staff rather than threatening them?

That is the question we care most about. Because the technology is only as good as the people using it.

Proud to be a local business representing the region at an event like this. And proud of the team who make everything we demo actually work every single day across nearly 100 sites.

Titan the robot was also there. There was a group hug. No further comment.

Thank you to the Solent Growth Partnership for a brilliant event.

Every hour your team spends on admin is an hour they are not spending on your customers. How many of those hours are you losing every day?
