Episode 3: Building Weebert’s World – Soldiering on with Soldering and Scrapbots

“This isn’t a cottage industry. This is imagination, industry and impact.”

At 61, Lotty and her husband Andy didn’t retire quietly – they built a universe from scrap.

Literally.

In this episode of The 99% Club, Enterprise Nation’s Aaron Asadi meets Lotty of Weebert’s World, a growing brand of hand-built robot sculptures and children’s stories, all created from discarded objects and a wildly creative spirit.

Born from a difficult moment, the business is now a cross-generational, heart-led venture inspiring kids (and grown-ups) to imagine, create and care.

This conversation explores:

– Building a business from a garage with no prior experience

– Why digital detox starts with storytelling

– The dream of turning Weebert into a children’s TV star

– The frustrations of being excluded from funding as a rural business

– The power of family, legacy, and late-in-life creativity

– And why small businesses should be seen as more than “cottage industries”

From resin sheep to House of Lords appearances, this is a one-of-a-kind journey – and a love letter to making something from nothing.
