Not just another pretty skincare brand. tbh Skincare is bringing to market a completely new patented technology that disrupts biofilm, the key to treating acne causing bacteria in the skin.
From a recent report by EffeMarket we know that more than 90 percent of world population is affected by acne at some point in their life, with several studies confirming acne has an impact on a person’s quality of life, self-esteem, and mood. In fact, a report by the British Journal of Dermatology showed those diagnosed with acne are 63% more likely to experience depression within the first year of developing symptoms.
tbh not only addresses the staggeringly high numbers of those suffering from acne with its new patented treatment, but is also tackling the emotional aspects involved. Through its website blog and social media pages, the brand is creating a safe space where sufferers of acne can go to support one another and get access to tools and techniques linked to confidence, body positivity and bettering their general mental wellness.
Launching 18 March 2020.

Le Bab is a contemporary, gastronomic kebab house. Starting the business in 2014, three friends Stephen Tozer, Edward Brunet and Manu Canales felt that they had something to add to the London kebab scene and so created their own modern type of kebab. Opening their first restaurant in Soho 2015, the trio have since opened restaurants across London; Covent Garden, Shoreditch and Battersea Power Station.Their dishes combine the traditions of charcoal-grilled kebabs with the finest British free range meats and organic vegetables.
Tucked away in the basement of Covent Garden Le Bab is Kebab Queen, a revolutionary fine dining experience. Breaking away from traditional norms, Kebab Queen offers Middle Eastern-inspired cuisine served directly on the counter, without the use of plates or cutlery. At the heart of the Kebab Queen dining experience is our meticulously crafted menu. Chef Pamirs seven-course-tasting menu revolves around immersion and connection. Drawing inspiration from humble origins, he skilfully elevates traditional Turkish dishes to create an unparalleled dining experience.

Pemba Capital Partners specialises in buy and build partnerships with the owners and managers of private businesses. We understand the challenges and complexities that come with a growing business, such as balancing the need for more capital with personal financial risk, family and management dynamics, as well as private ownership structures.
Many of Pemba’s most successful partnerships have involved an investment in a strong business followed by a series of smaller acquisitions that are integrated into the “parent” business. This growth strategy is sometimes known as Buy and Build.
Pemba Capital Partners is independently owned by its Managing Directors. Established in 1998, Pemba Capital Partners has made over 30 platform investments which have in turn completed over 100 add-on acquisitions as part of buy and build strategies.
Pemba take a conservative attitude towards debt and generally avoid highly geared businesses.
Prior to working with Pemba Capital Partners, we encourage new partners to meet as many current or former investee owners as possible to hear what they have to say about us. We often find that these references are a crucial part of the decision process for owners or managers who decide to work with us
