Made in Scotland... Patrick Brady

Patrick Brady is one of the UK's new breed of Hypnotists but that wasn't where he started.

In 1984 he was appointed as an Environmental Health Officer, completed his post graduate Masters of Business Administration Degree, formed ecos limited (a pest control company competing directly with Rentokil).

The company enjoyed early high growth and within twenty four months was covering 500 sites across Scotland. As a result of a focus on managing customer relations ecos limited took on additional facility management work on client’s premises as the business grew.

The businesses were sold as a result of the contracts being bought out. Patrick then started his own SEPA registered recycling scheme under the ‘ecos’ brand as a separate limited liability partnership. The ecopak recycling company was bought out in 2004 by an English based competitor, The Wastepack Group.

Not content with this success, Patrick completed a five year course of exams leading to the award of an LL.B (English Law Degree) in 2005 and acted as independent legal advisor to a number of global and UK based family-owned businesses.

Sir Pete Downes appointed Patrick as the University of Dundee’s first ‘Entrepreneur in Residence’ and the University awarded Patrick the title ‘Honorary Fellow’ at the University in 2013.
