Beginning as Emily Webb's GSCE Design and Technology project has now developed into multi use product developed, marketed and sold under the name of Oarsome Potential Ltd.

Emily from South Wales, was a pupil at Haberdashers Monmouth School for Girls when she created her product, now known as the Oarsome Potential Grip.

There are two elements of the product. The most versatile is the grip, which can be used on rowing machines, disabled sports equipment, crutches. The grips can also be used on sweep rowing oars where a rotating section is included.

The grips were launched in to the mobility market at the Charted Society of Physiotherapists Congress in Liverpool, 2010 and Naidex 2011.
