Pete Ancketill pitched a glass-crushing machine for pubs and bars that turned empty bottles into a saleable byproduct the company branded as Eco-Sand.

The short answer is no, based on formal company filings.

What The Corrected Terms Show

Ancketill's original ask was £200,000 for a 10 percent stake, and the record shows the deal that actually closed with Nick Jenkins was the same £200,000 for a larger 30 percent share.

That is a meaningful shift on the equity side, a bigger slice of the company changing hands for the same amount of money than the original pitch proposed.

Struck Off The Register

The company's own website outlasted the business itself, which is common enough, since nobody goes back to update marketing pages the day a company shuts down.

By previous accounts, that register shows the business entered creditors' voluntary liquidation toward the end of 2023 and was struck off entirely a couple of years later, in 2026, a paper trail that leaves little room for a different reading.

Note: Based on the public record; company situations can change, so treat this as a snapshot.
