Meet Carv 2: A coach for every skier, on every terrain. Better skiers have more fun, but getting better doesn’t happen by chance. That’s why we built Carv 2. Tiny, yet powerful. Our wearable sensors clip to any boot, capturing your every turn to provide personalized tips, so you can take on harder terrain and look cool doing it.

GoHenry is the money app giving 6-18-year olds a head start in life as they learn to earn, save, spend and invest - all with parental oversight. Having pioneered a new category in financial education when it launched in 2012, over 2.2 million kids have now learnt money skills with GoHenry. With the ultimate goal to make every kid smart with money, GoHenry believes the best way to learn is to get hands-on experience with money. Its parent and child apps help kids to Learn (via in-app, bite-sized money lessons, Money Missions); Earn (via regular chores, one-off tasks and giftlinks); Spend (responsibly via its prepaid debit card and real-time notifications); Save (via savings goals and interest on savings); Give (via regular micro-donations to the NSPCC); and Invest (via GoHenry’s Junior ISA). As a mission-led business, GoHenry is leading the push for financial education to be made compulsory in all schools across the UK from primary age.

Mr & Mrs Smith (a nod to the classic check-in nom de plume for illicit stays of old) began life in 2003 and has evolved into a global travel club with more than a million like-minded members. Our carefully curated (and responsibly sourced) collection now includes hotels in the sky (if you’ve never woken up in a treehouse, we can change that), hotels in caves, hotels above water, hotels underwater (well, partially), hotels a million miles away, hotels on your doorstep… It’s no accident that the collection is so special. Entry is by invitation only and every hotel is visited by our team and anonymously reviewed by a diverse bunch of trusted tastemakers, including Stella McCartney, Philip Treacy and Dita Von Teese, to name a few. Our work doesn’t stop with considered curation, mind. We ensure that our members receive the very best service, support and inspiration. It’s what makes us the travel club for hotel lovers. And if every club has a purpose, ours is to knock your socks off – with help from the world’s very best bedrooms…
