Kettel Homes is the UKs first open market rent-to-own programme that helps first-time buyers achieve their goal of homeownership. Learn more at www.kettelhomes.com. The growth in house prices, the tightening of lending criteria and the stagnation of wages have led to young people across the UK being left behind when it comes to homeownership. The average age of a first-time buyer outside of London has gone up by almost 3 years since 2006, contributing to a 25% decline in homeownership for this age group. Were backed by supportive and socially minded investors at the Fair by Design Fund (Ascension), Nationwide Building Society (NBS Ventures) and Entrepreneur First.

Did you know that wine packaging hasn’t changed in over 200 years? No wonder it doesn’t suit the way we live our lives… At Laylo we source top quality wines - the sorts that would cost at least £12 in a fancy wine merchant - and put them into boxes customers can feel proud to have on their countertop. Here’s why… ⌛ Our boxes stay fresh for 6 weeks from opening so you can enjoy ‘just one glass’ 🌍 They are much kinder to the planet; they generate 90% less carbon than the equivalent volume of wine in glass bottles and are 100% recyclable ✨ We love telling stories about the wines, wine regions and people behind the juice. Boxed wine is the perfect blank canvas. Were hiring across all areas of the business... Fancy joining us?
