Mick came up with the idea after visiting his son’s student digs at Oxford University.
He said: “My son’s shower was really small and all these bottles of shampoo and conditioner were at the bottom. I thought ‘What can I do to change this?’â€
Mick spent three years on the invention and carried out research asking more than 300 people what they thought about his prototype.
When the competition came up earlier this month he jumped at the chance having put the final touches to his product.
He said: “I went to shopping centres and a service station and asked people what they wanted.
“The reaction was unanimous – people said it was brilliant. What I’ve got is pretty damn close to what people are looking for.â€
