Picking her moment: Glasgow entrepreneur launches safety devices
Rebecca Pick, the entrepreneur behind personal safety alarm start-up Pick Protection, today launched her first devices after raising almost £1 million to take them to market. Pick, a graduate of the University of Strathclyde Business School, set up her firm, which has secured backing from manufacturer Unipart, after a neighbour was attacked. “I believe that everyone should feel safe at work,” said Pick, who is targeting the products at the eight million people in the UK who work alone or without direct supervision.
