Pluto was started with the mission to help fellow travel lovers make the most of every moment they get away. From our experience – and by talking to lots of people in the travel community – we realised that although travelling is great, sometimes stuff can get in the way of having a good time. The unnecessary hassle of organising a trip. The pains of deciding where to go and what to do. Stuff going wrong whilst you're away. It’s all *stress* that we don’t need. We exist to help you escape this bad stuff. So you're free to have a more mindful experience. With Pluto, you can plan a trip and find the best things to do in one simple, fun and beautiful app.

GoodBox is a pioneering tech-for-good company, founded on the insight that an increasingly cashless society is having a detrimental effect on the charity sector. With charities lagging on average 5 years behind the corporate sector in terms of digital, we are dedicated to bringing the newest and best technology to the sector, from custom-built contactless devices, to analytics software. Since our foundation in 2016, GoodBox has processed millions of pounds of donations for UK based charities, raised over £5m from 700+ investors (including Wimbledon champ Andy Murray), and won a host of awards for our ground-breaking solutions.

We provide an innovative and effective service which allows us to assist Local Authorities with the completion of the required works to achieve adoption. Our model enables us to secure the funds to achieve adoption on behalf of the Local Authority and their residents where a S38 or S278 Agreement is in place. This is all achieved at no cost or risk to the Local Authority. Our mission is to help every UK Local Authority to assist defaulting Developers in satisfying their Highway Adoption obligations as stated within a S38/S278 Agreement. Our vision is to ensure that all residents and homeowners benefit from living on an adopted road within the timescale stated in a S38/S278 Agreement. We work closely with our Local Authority Clients and have secured funding from Developers and Surety Providers which has facilitated £20M+ Highway Improvement Works benefiting circa 100,000 tax paying residents all at ZERO COST to the Local Authority.
