Live Better With's mission is to make everyday living better for people with long-term conditions, starting with cancer. Together with the cancer community, we have curated 500+ products that offer support beyond medical treatment. These products bring relief to symptoms and side effects from the tumour itself and from chemo and radiation, help equip (and monitor) the home and promote positive wellbeing. Uniquely, the site is organised by how someone might be feeling, e.g., “I can’t sleep” or “I feel sick”. The ecommerce side is complemented by a series of information guides and community-sourced tips, plus a growing and engaged online community (currently 10,000 people).

Yopa is an award-winning estate agency that provides a full service for a fair fixed fee. We’re backed by some of the biggest names in the property industry, and since our establishment in 2015, we’ve become one of the largest estate agencies in the UK.
Our customers get the same end-to-end service they would from a high street agency, with the added benefit of simple, useful technology that helps them see every step of their sale as it happens. Our service includes dedicated local estate agents, evening and weekend opening hours, help with everything from mortgages to conveyancing.
Helping customers have a smooth move during a potentially stressful life event is at the centre of everything we do. That’s why we’re looking for passionate people, from estate agents to customer care specialists, programmers to property experts, to help us make the world of estate agency a better place.
Working with Yopa
Our estate agents have complete control over their own diaries, working when and how they want, making it easy to fit work around family life and other commitments. As an agent you’ll own your business and be in charge of your own postcodes, but you’ll never be alone thanks to support from the Yopa team and regular meetings with other agents in your region. There’s no earning cap either, so your potential for success is unlimited.
Our non-agent/office-based roles offer the opportunity for growth and development at every level, whether you work in customer service, property advice, product development, marketing, or in another of our specialist departments. We’re passionate about helping you be the best in your role, from providing ongoing training to running a company-wide reward and recognition programme. We’ve been proud of our positive work culture from day one, and in 2017 Yopa was named one of LinkedIn’s top startup companies to work for.
If you’re looking for your next opportunity with a young and ambitious company, we’d love to chat. Get in touch today!

Hunza G was originally born in 1984, known then only as Hunza under the direction of Peter Meadows who created its signature, unique crinkle-stretch fabrication and high-cut leggy designs.
Hunza became instantly recognisable in the 90s after being worn by Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman – yes, that cut-out mini dress. In 2015, Hunza added the G when Georgiana Huddart relaunched the brand and became creative director after having an obsession with the fabrics throughout her 20s.
With modern nostalgia at its core, Hunza G has grown to become an iconic brand synonymous with the beach. Its 80s roots bring a cool and contemporary twist to beachwear in powerful hues. With a one-size-fit mantra made possible by figure flattering fabric that flexes to sculpt and support all shapes, the secret to Hunza G is to wear it how you want to.
Born in the UK, our signature crinkle is made with no deadstock fabric or wastage. Our one size stance is not only an effort to remain an inclusive brand, but also reduces the risk of over-purchased sizing on a commercial level. Ethical and comfortable, each piece will see you through a lifetime and all that it brings.
We strive to provide the most considerate and healthy working environment for all members of the team – from production and prep, to Head Office – it’s something that really matters to us. Fair trade and a consistently positive setting are key to providing the best end-product for our community of loyal customers.
