Harrison’s Mission

Starting with nothing more than a towel, a dream, and the frustration of sweating profusely while playing squash, Harrison began a journey he never expected would change his life. But Harrison didn’t just build a product he built a story. He documented every step of his journey on TikTok, sharing the highs, the setbacks, the late night grind, and the tiny wins that kept him going.

From Idea to Impact

2022

Problem with squash sweating in the summer

Harrison was 13, mid-match, sweating and overheating whilst playing squash in the summer heat. He looked for something to cool down fast. Nothing worked. That frustration was the whole idea behind the brand and he knew overheating wasn't just an issue in sport.

2023

The First Cooling Prototype

He got his grandma round to help create a proof of concept with a towel and an ice pack. He then spend months in his bedroom researching, ordering fabrics, and testing things that mostly didn't work. When something finally clicked, he snapped the towel in the air and felt it drop cold almost instantly. He knew it had potential.

2024

Viral sales and building business

A video. Then another. Then after months of consistant late nights and innovation thousands of orders came in from people who had never heard of Harrison Nott but needed exactly what he had built. He went from packing towels on his bedroom floor to managing a real business with his friends as employees fast.

2025

Winner of international business event

CoolTowel was selected to compete at the Alibaba CoCreate Event against 30 finalists brands with far bigger teams and budgets. Harrison pitched CoolTowel and won the grand cash prize. It was the moment the business stopped feeling like a side project and started feeling like something serious. It now has been the spark to international expansion and many more exciting things.

2026

International expansion and new product development

New colours, better materials, faster shipping and international expansion. The product Harrison built to solve one problem on a squash court is now helping people in gyms, on holidays, at work, and at home across the world.

Future

Global enterprise that's recognised for positively helping others

The vision was never just a towel. It was proof that if something genuinely helps people, it finds its way to them. CoolTowel is still early and Harrison is still building. His vision is to give back to those who need it most and help others.
