We have the pleasure of working with and doing business with the talented people and organisations listed below - we wouldn't have got this far without them. 

Huge thanks to:

  • Huw Watkins, as an original co-founder Huw has been pivotal to getting the business up and running - he has since taken a back seat but is still very much part of the family
  • Nick Hussey and Judith Tolley who generously shared their immense industry knowledge
  • Our  investors who have literally made this possible
