A Dundee-based start-up selling advanced rechargeable power packs has secured a substantial five-figure order as its first deal.

Powercases (Scotland) is the European arm of the Canadian Powercases brand, which since 2012 has created state-ofthe-art lithium-ion rechargeable packs and cases for devices such as phones and laptops as well as jump-starters for cars, motorcycles and boats.

The start-up, headed by sales coach Peter Waggott, has now closed its first deal – a distrib-

utor agreement and substantial five-figure order for three products with Staples Solutions UK. Powercases expects the relationship to grow into a seven-figure revenue stream over the next 12 months.

Waggott’s sales and management coaching company, Vertical Motives, will also offer sales and management training to Staples customers.

He said: “We’re naturally delighted our first European customer is the region’s biggest supplier of workplace products and services.”
