We’re celebrating 15 years of James Barrett at Ecospill. From managing our original warehouse to helping establish manufacturing and now looking after our logistics team, James has played an important part in the business’s growth.
We sat down for a cuppa with the king of the office brews himself, James, to hear about his favourite moments, the changes he has seen and what might come next.
What has been your favourite moment so far?
There have been so many favourite moments over the years. From setting up racking and building machines to collecting new vehicles and meeting the people who come through the business, there has always been something different to get involved in.
The warehouse moves really stand out. When I started, we had just 130 pallet spaces. Moving into a 16,000 sq ft warehouse felt like a real “wow” moment. Then, six years later, we moved into 40,000 sq ft with 1,300 pallet spaces. Seeing that growth first-hand has been incredible!
What’s one thing you’ve learned during your time here?
Be open to trying something new. I’ve worked across warehousing, sales, manufacturing and logistics, and each role has given me the opportunity to learn and develop different skills.
As Ecospill has grown, there have always been new challenges to take on and new ways to put those skills to use. You never quite know what’s around the corner, and that keeps things interesting!
What are you most proud of achieving?
There are too many things to pick just one! I’m proud to have played my part in Ecospill’s growth, from our early warehouse days to the business we are today.
Back then, it took plenty of hard work, sometimes well into the evening, to get everything done. Seeing how far we’ve come, and seeing people grow within the company along the way, makes it all worthwhile.
Helping set up manufacturing was another big part of that journey. I was tasked with understanding the processes, finding ways to improve them and making them work under our own roof. That meant building machines, recruiting operatives and running day-to-day production.
It’s been rewarding to get involved in so many different parts of the business and help make things happen.
What was your role in the beginning, and where are you at right now? Can you compare then and now?
I joined as Warehouse Manager when Ecospill was a much smaller operation. I then spent a few years in sales. My strengths were more on the practical side, but I gave it a go and learned plenty before moving into manufacturing.
Today, I look after our own logistics team, keeping our vans on the road and delivering to our customers.
Being here for 15 years doesn’t quite seem real. I’ve watched Ecospill grow from humble beginnings into the business it is today, but the directors have never forgotten where they started or the people who helped them along the way.
Who knows what’s next? As Ecospill continues to grow, I’m sure there will be new challenges to take on.
I’d say “here’s to another 15 years”, but hopefully I’ll be sitting on a beach somewhere by then!
At Ecospill, we’re helping our distribution partners and their customers understand the risks associated with lithium-ion batteries and identify appropriate storage and charging solutions.
Since announcing our partnership with LOXXER, one question has come up regularly: “How many minutes of fire resistance does a cabinet provide?”
It’s an understandable question. Ratings such as 60 or 90 minutes are familiar measures of fire protection. But when a lithium-ion battery enters thermal runaway inside a cabinet, the time rating alone doesn’t tell the whole story.
Here, we explain why LOXXER looks beyond minutes, and what businesses should consider when comparing lithium-ion battery cabinets.
LOXXER explains that traditional classifications, such as EI60 and Type 90, address specific fire scenarios, including fire outside an enclosure. They measure performance over a defined period.
A lithium-ion battery fire can start inside the cabinet. Thermal runaway can spread between cells, cause repeated ignitions and continue for hours, with the possibility of reignition.
The distinction matters: a rating for exposure to an external fire does not, by itself, demonstrate how a cabinet will manage an internal battery incident.
LOXXER highlights the VDMA 24994 methodology, which tests cabinet performance during lithium-ion battery thermal runaway.
The assessment examines whether:
LOXXER explains that testing continues until the process is under control and temperatures decline. The focus is therefore on the cabinet’s behaviour throughout the tested incident, rather than simply reaching a set number of minutes.
LOXXER develops products specifically for lithium-ion battery storage and charging. Selected cabinets are certified to VDMA 24994.
Depending on the product and specification, features can include smoke and temperature detection, active ventilation, automatic charging shutdown and connections to existing fire alarm systems. Optional aerosol suppression and external monitoring are also available on selected products.
When comparing cabinets, we encourage customers to look at the evidence behind the specification. What fire scenario was tested? Does the certification apply to the model being considered? Which safety features are included?
These questions help turn a headline rating into a more useful conversation about workplace protection.
Our partnership with LOXXER gives Ecospill’s trusted distribution partners access to specialist and dedicated battery safety products, backed by practical knowledge and ongoing support.
It builds on our commitment to protect and care for the environment, industry and its people, helping customers address emerging workplace risks.
To discuss lithium-ion battery storage and charging requirements, contact your Ecospill Regional Business Development Manager or email sales@ecospill.org.uk.

Ecospill’s partnership with LOXXER
Ecospill is proud to announce a new partnership with LOXXER, a European specialist in purpose-built lithium-ion battery storage and charging products.
The partnership will give Ecospill’s trusted health, safety and PPE distribution partners access to a comprehensive range of products designed to help businesses manage the growing risks associated with lithium-ion batteries.
Research from QBE shows that UK fire services attended 1,760 lithium-ion battery-related fires during 2025. This is equivalent to one incident every five hours and represents an increase of 147% since 2022.
Lithium-ion batteries are now part of everyday working life. They power everything from laptops and mobile devices to e-bikes, power tools and industrial equipment.
Although lithium-ion batteries are generally safe when used correctly, damaged, defective, uncertified or non-compliant batteries can enter a process known as thermal runaway. This is a self-reinforcing chemical reaction in which rising temperatures create further heat, potentially resulting in fire, explosions and the release of toxic gases. The reaction can also spread from one battery cell to other nearby batteries.
Ecospill’s Sales , Product and Purchasing team meeting with LOXXER’s Johan Pillen.
“Our trusted distribution partners are increasingly being asked to help customers manage risks and safe Lithium-ion battery storage is an ever growing request. This partnership gives them access to a specialist lithium-ion battery safety range, backed by the practical knowledge and ongoing support they expect from Ecospill and LOXXER
“By partnering with industry leaders LOXXER, we can help our partners respond to this growing challenge, strengthen their relationships with customers and create new opportunities across a wide range of industries.”
Darren Purdy, Group Head of Sales
For more than 15 years, Ecospill has worked alongside the UK’s largest health, safety and PPE distributors, helping their customers protect the environment, industry and its people.
The company has built its reputation around spill prevention, containment and other spill solution products, supported by added-value services including Spill Site Surveys, Spill Training and Inventory Managed Services.
More recently, Ecospill has expanded into wider areas of workplace risk management, introducing a flood defence range. The partnership with LOXXER represents the next step in that development, addressing one of the fastest-growing safety challenges facing modern organisations.
LOXXER develops products specifically for the safe storage, charging, transportation and management of lithium-ion batteries. LOXXER’s units are already widely available across Europe.
Unlike cabinets adapted from products designed and being retro-fit for lithium-ion battery charging, LOXXER’s range has been developed around the specific risks presented by lithium-ion batteries, including thermal runaway, extreme temperatures, smoke, fire and cell-to-cell propagation.
Selected LOXXER cabinets are certified to VDMA standards. These standards establish test requirements for fire-protection storage cabinets containing portable lithium-ion batteries in the event of thermal runaway.
The wider LOXXER product range includes:
Depending on the product and specification selected, systems can include smoke and temperature detection, active ventilation, automatic charging shutdown and connections to existing fire alarm systems.
Selected products can also be equipped with an optional certified aerosol fire-suppression system. When smoke or a dangerous rise in temperature is detected, the system activates inside the cabinet to help control the incident and limit the risk of fire spreading to surrounding batteries.
Optional M2M monitoring modules can provide external alerts and help integrate the equipment into an organisation’s wider fire-safety arrangements.
The partnership strengthens Ecospill’s ability to help its distribution partners and their customers address emerging workplace risks with specialist products, practical knowledge and ongoing support.
As businesses become increasingly dependent on lithium-ion batteries, safe storage and practical safe charging will become an increasingly important part of workplace risk management and site safety surveys.
Ecospill and LOXXER are excited on continuing their work together to help UK organisations understand those risks and identify appropriate products for their sites, equipment and working environments.

Ecospill is pleased to announce that the full Dirteeze industrial wipes range is now available through Inventory Managed Services (IMS).
Following the recent relaunch of IMS, distributors and their customers can now access the complete range of Dirteeze wet wipes and non-woven wiping solutions as part of their managed consumables programme, helping ensure the right products are always available when and where they are needed.
This latest development further strengthens IMS as a complete workplace consumables management solution, combining absorbents, spill response products and industrial wipes within a single managed service.
IMS helps businesses maintain control of essential spill response and workplace consumables through a managed replenishment service.
Available in robust steel or sustainable correx formats, IMS stations provide a visible, organised location for absorbents and wipes, helping improve housekeeping, reduce waste and ensure critical products are always available when required.
Steel stations can be configured as single or dual-roll units, allowing customers to combine absorbent products and industrial wipes within one convenient location.
Every IMS installation begins with a site survey carried out by one of our experienced assessors.
The assessment identifies areas at risk from spills and contamination, helping businesses understand the potential impact on the environment, operations and employees.
The results allow us to recommend the most appropriate absorbents, spill response equipment and wiping products for each area of the site, ensuring the correct products are available exactly where they are needed.
The survey also provides valuable insight into site processes, helping organisations improve spill preparedness, environmental protection and workplace safety.
The Dirteeze range has been developed for real-world industrial environments, designed to solve genuine cleaning and maintenance challenges rather than follow trends and has a reputation within the industry and a strong reliable wipe brand.
Whether cleaning hands, tools, machinery, surfaces or responding to spills, every Dirteeze product has been engineered with performance, durability and ease of use in mind.
Dirteeze Wet Wipes combine purpose-built substrates with carefully formulated cleaning solutions to deliver reliable cleaning performance across a wide range of industrial applications.
Unlike many industrial wipes that use polypropylene substrates, many Dirteeze wet wipes utilise spunlace technology, helping improve liquid release and cleaning performance while reducing the tendency to simply push contamination across surfaces.
Dirteeze Non-Woven Wipes use innovative fibre compositions to deliver optimum wiping performance, from rag replacement through to technical process wiping.
The range is also structured to make product selection simple, with clearly defined solutions and colour-coded packaging that helps users choose the right wipe for the right job.
Our mission is simple: to solve real people’s problems with the right wipe for the right job. Reliable, tough and built for the real world, without compromise.
Wet Wipes Range
The Dirteeze wet wipes range is available in a variety of formats including flowpacks, tubs, buckets and giant wipes, depending on the product selected.
The range includes:
These products provide effective cleaning solutions for everything from heavy-duty grime removal and workshop cleaning to specialist glass, plastic and surface preparation applications.
Non-Woven Wipes Range
The Dirteeze Non-Woven range includes products suitable for rag replacement, low-lint applications, food production environments, solvent use, oils, lubricants, spill response and technical process wiping.
Products include:
For customers operating dual-roll IMS stations, SONTEK65 is particularly suited to installation alongside absorbent roll products.
This creates a practical combination of spill response and everyday maintenance wiping from a single station, ensuring employees have immediate access to the products they need while maintaining a clean, organised working environment.
Historically, IMS stations have been stocked exclusively with the Ecowipes range.
While existing Ecowipes stock remains available, customers looking to transition to Dirteeze products can speak with their Regional Business Development Manager to identify suitable like-for-like alternatives and determine the most appropriate solution for their application.
Our team will be happy to guide distributors and end users through the available options and recommend the best products based on site requirements and usage patterns.
The addition of the full Dirteeze range further strengthens IMS as a complete workplace consumables management solution, giving distributors and end users greater flexibility, improved product choice and simplified stock control.
By combining spill response products, absorbents and industrial wipes within a managed service, IMS helps businesses improve operational efficiency while ensuring essential products are always available when needed.
To find out more about IMS, arrange a site survey or discuss the Dirteeze range, contact your Regional Business Development Manager today. Or fill in the form today to request a sample.
Every workplace that stores, handles or uses liquids faces some level of spill risk. From manufacturing facilities and construction sites to warehouses, workshops and distribution centres, even a small spill can quickly become a costly incident if it is not properly controlled.
Oil, fuel, chemicals and other hazardous substances can cause environmental damage, create slip hazards, disrupt operations and expose businesses to potential regulatory action.
That is why understanding your spill risks before an incident happens is so important.
What is a Spill Site Survey?
A Spill Site Survey is a professional review of how liquids are stored, handled and managed across your site.
At Ecospill, our experienced team works with businesses to identify potential spill hazards, assess existing control measures and highlight areas where improvements may be needed.
Rather than simply focusing on spill response, a Spill Site Survey looks at prevention, containment, drainage, environmental protection and overall site preparedness.
The result is a clearer understanding of your risks, supported by practical recommendations to help reduce them.
Why Spill Site Surveys Matter
Spills can happen in any workplace, regardless of size or industry.
Containers can leak, drums can be damaged, transfer processes can fail and liquids can escape during everyday operations. Without the right controls in place, spilled liquids can enter drainage systems, contaminate land or watercourses, create safety risks and interrupt business activity.
A Spill Site Survey helps identify these vulnerabilities before they become incidents.
Taking a proactive approach can help reduce environmental risk, support compliance objectives and improve how prepared your site is in the event of a spill.
What Does a Spill Site Survey Cover?
Every site is different, so each survey is tailored to your workplace. Typically, an Ecospill Spill Site Survey will review:
By looking at how liquids move around your site, the survey provides a practical picture of where risks exist and how they can be managed more effectively.
Supporting Compliance and Environmental Responsibility
Environmental responsibilities continue to grow across many industries, with greater focus on pollution prevention and risk management.
A Spill Site Survey can help your business understand where gaps may exist and what practical steps can be taken to reduce risk.
Beyond compliance, preventing spills shows a clear commitment to protecting employees, local communities and the environment. It can also help reduce the chance of incidents that may affect operations, reputation and customer confidence.
For businesses working towards environmental standards such as ISO 14001, a Spill Site Survey can provide valuable insight into current practices and identify opportunities for continuous improvement.
Turning Insight into Action
One of the biggest benefits of a Spill Site Survey is the clear, actionable information it provides.
Following the survey, Ecospill can provide a written report outlining the findings, highlighting any identified risks and recommending practical improvements.
This may include changes to storage and containment, improvements to spill response equipment, additional employee training or measures to strengthen overall spill preparedness.
Rather than simply highlighting problems, the report provides a practical roadmap to help businesses prioritise improvements and make informed decisions about managing risk.
Taking the Next Step After Your Spill Site Survey
A Spill Site Survey does more than identify risks. It provides a foundation for improving how spills are prevented, managed and responded to across your organisation.
For many businesses, the findings from a survey often uncover opportunities to strengthen spill preparedness through additional services and support.
Keep Your Spill Equipment Ready with IMS
A common issue identified during site surveys is that spill kits, absorbents and response equipment are poorly located, incomplete or not routinely checked.
Ecospill’s Inventory Managed Service (IMS) helps ensure your spill response equipment remains fully stocked, accessible and ready for use. Through scheduled site visits, our team monitors stock levels, replenishes used products and helps maintain compliance across your facility.
By combining a Spill Site Survey with IMS, businesses can move from identifying risks to actively managing them on an ongoing basis, ensuring critical spill response equipment is always available when it is needed most.
Build Confidence Through Spill Response Training
Having the right spill response equipment is only part of the solution. Employees also need the knowledge and confidence to respond effectively when an incident occurs.
A Spill Site Survey may identify areas where additional training could improve response times, reduce environmental impact and strengthen workplace safety.
Ecospill’s Spill Response Training equips employees with practical skills and real-world knowledge, helping them understand how to assess, contain and manage spills safely and effectively.
Training can also help organisations demonstrate their commitment to environmental responsibility while improving confidence across the workforce.
Creating a Complete Spill Management Strategy
When combined, Spill Site Surveys, IMS and Spill Response Training provide a comprehensive approach to spill management.
Together they help organisations:
Create a Safer, More Prepared Workplace
Effective spill management starts with understanding where risks exist.
Spill kits and emergency response plans are essential, but they are only one part of a wider spill prevention strategy. A Spill Site Survey helps organisations take a proactive approach by identifying potential issues before they become costly incidents.
By understanding how liquids are managed across a site and where improvements can be made, businesses can strengthen environmental protection, support compliance objectives and create a safer workplace for everyone.

This May, Jane marked an incredible milestone: 15 years at Ecospill. Over the past decade and a half, she has played a major role in the growth of the business, as well as being one of its very first employees! From joining as a Sales Administrator to now managing the accounts across the full group of companies.
We caught up over a coffee, where Jane shared some of her personal favourite moments and what has made her most proud over the last 15 years.
What has been your favourite moment so far?
Being involved in the growth of Ecospill from the very beginning and seeing how it has grown, changed and developed over the years. Also, moving into our new larger Accounts Office last year is one of my personal favourites, showcasing how the business has grown and the important role a strong accounts team plays within the business.
What’s one thing you’ve learned during your time here?
Every day is a school day. I learn something new every day in the accounts department. There’s always a challenge or situation that makes you think outside the box. It keeps us on our toes.
What are you most proud of achieving?
Building up the accounts team and developing all the procedures and systems over the years.
What was your role in the beginning, and where are you at right now? Can you compare then and now?
I joined Ecospill as one of the first employees when the business began trading, joining as a Sales Administrator in May 2011. I was promoted to manage the accounts for Ecospill when we relocated to Hellaby, Rotherham, in May 2012. Seven years later, we outgrew those premises and moved to our current larger site here in Aldwarke, Rotherham. As the company’s portfolio of businesses has increased, and all the businesses have grown, I’ve established an accounts team to support those growing needs. I’m now Group Head of Finance for the full group of companies.
When I think back to starting in 2011, I knew the Marks had big aspirations, and it’s been a pleasure to play my part in that journey. What an achievement for the Directors and for all the staff involved over the years.
I still smile when I think about our humble beginnings and where we are today. Even after 15 years, I’m still looking forward to the next chapter here at Ecospill and the exciting developments we have planned for the future.
If your business handles oils, chemicals, fuels, or liquids of any kind, spill control is not optional. It is a critical part of your health, safety, and environmental responsibilities.
A common question we hear is:
The answer is not always one or the other. It depends on your environment, risk level, and how your operations function day to day.
In this blog, we break down the differences, use cases, and how to choose the right solution for your site.
A spill kit is a portable spill response solution designed to be used immediately at the point of a spill.
Most kits include:
