How it all started...
2007 - Present
Based in Maidenhead in Berkshire, AlcoSense Laboratories is a leading manufacturer of alcohol breathalysers. It all started back in 2005 after Hunter Abbott, AlcoSense’s Managing Director had a wakeup call…
“I was at a friend’s wedding and James and I had been drinking together at the reception, we were definitely merry but I wouldn’t say we were drunk. The following morning we left the hotel at about noon, James went his way and I went mine. I got home safe and sound but later that evening James called. He’d been stopped by the Police for speeding, got breathalysed and failed.
All of a sudden I realised that James and I had been matching our drinks, I too was probably over the limit when I was driving home from the wedding, completely unaware that I was. James lost his licence for 12 months, and then shortly after he lost his job as a result. The problem was that there was no way of telling when the alcohol had cleared your system, and because everyone’s different you can’t even calculate it.”
Hunter Abbott, Managing Director.
After 2 years of research and development AlcoSense was launched in September 2007.
Since then AlcoSense has stopped over 50% of its customers from unintentionally drink driving the morning after, saving countless lives in the process, something we are incredibly proud of.
