Millions of working people miss out on tax breaks worth up to £3,000 a year because the tax system is broken. The rules are too complicated, the admin burden is too high and HMRC are too difficult to deal with. Savys mission is to remove these barriers and help our customers to access the tax breaks that are designed to help them. Savy savers pay less tax every month. We manage the whole process for them for an affordable monthly fee, and we use AI, machine-learning and open banking to remove the admin needed for record keeping.

FreeUP enables water quality/water event monitoring and prediction. Historically the cost of in-water data acquisition has prohibited real-time water monitoring at large scales and precluded the generation of datasets required to predict events at scale. FreeUP has developed sensors low enough in cost to deploy through a subscription model, removing the high investment costs for monitoring water and giving users the ability to deploy and move sensor fleets as their needs change. We also make this data available in real-time to third party system through our API, or through our online dashboard, so no matter the technical level of user, you will be able to visualize and action the data however best suits your application. Our sensors can be deployed in rivers, lakes, estuaries, maritime environments, pipes and potable drinking water networks. Through this new approach, we aim to enable users from communities to large organizations to understand and predict water quality and events that are of importance to them.
