Trevor Baylis, the British inventor, is best known for inventing the wind-up radio. He invented the radio after seeing a programme about the spread of AIDS in Africa. His first working prototype ran for 14 minutes and in 1994 was featured on the highly rated Tomorrow’s World TV programme. Then a group of foreign investors came on board enabling him to form a company called Freeplay. In 1996 the Freeplay radio was awarded the BBC Design Award for Best Product and Best Design.
In October 1997, Trevor was awarded the OBE by The Princess Royal at Buckingham Palace. He has also been awarded eleven honorary degrees from UK universities.
Trevor has worked tirelessly to promote the concept of ‘personal power’ and to help all inventors take their ideas to market. To this end he established Trevor Baylis Brands, an organisation which provides inventors with professional partnership and services to enable them to establish the originality of their ideas, to patent or otherwise protect them, and to get their products to market.
