NitNOT was founded out of years of frustration and a personal disaster that turned into a mission to shake up an industry. After using dozens of ineffective treatments and learning of the possible side-effects of many of the ingredients.
I researched natural products and what I assumed to be less harmful alternatives and was disappointed to discover many of these can also cause serious harm with potentially life-changing implications.
So I set myself on a mission to find an alternative – one that was safe AND actually worked. After three years of research, consultations and hands-on experience, I opened the NitNOT Head Lice Treatment Clinic, in Hertfordshire UK. When I opened the clinic and launched the product online the demand was huge! Parents clearly wanted a treatment that was 100% effective, whilst remaining safe (free from toxic and flammable chemicals) kind to skin, and good value for money.
I'm proud to have created NitNOT Anti Head Lice Treatment, which is hypo-allergenic and free from toxic chemicals, fragrances & solvents.

What do most business want? More customers!
There are dozens of channels to attract all these customers (social media, banner ads, pay per click, PR, advertising, etc), but most of them will have one thing in common: professional visual content.
AirBnB wouldn’t be where it is now, if they hadn’t offered free professional photography of all their properties. No one would want to rent an ugly looking flat.
You wouldn’t attend a conference, if all they had was dodgy highlights posted from the last year’s event.
And you wouldn’t order any food with Deliveroo, if a chef took photos for the app on his iPhone.
Nor would you hire a lawyer or an accountant, if their headshots were done by uncle Bob on his 1990s DSLR camera.
Why? Because:
PROFESSIONAL VISUAL CONTENT SELLS
Whenever and wherever you are - if you need professional visual content, Splento can deliver it for you faster, more reliably and with consistent quality.

Thursday was built out of our own frustration. Clunky work boots or delicate fashion boots? Cheap shoes that fall apart after a few wears, or shoes that were incredibly overpriced? It didn’t seem right that we had to make these trade-offs. There had to be another option.
We started Thursday to offer an alternative: ridiculously high quality footwear at honest prices that could handle our busy lives in New York City. We make modern classics that we deliver at the best possible value to our community. We believe in clean design, only using the highest quality materials, and integrity. When you put on a pair of Thursdays you will be ready for whatever the day brings your way. Learn more at thursdayboots.com.

Look After My Bills is the largest free energy auto-switching service in the country.
Currently to save money on gas and electricity bills people have to spend hours shopping around on price comparison sites and remembering to switch every year otherwise they get ripped off.
One, free, 2 minute sign-up to Look After My Bills sees users saving £262 on average on their gas and electricity bills. Look After My Bills automatically finds people the best deal and switches them on to it dealing with the whole process. When that deal ends they are automatically moved to another deal so they are always saving and never overpaying. Typically once consumers’ energy deals run out providers roll them onto standard variable tariffs, which are significantly more expensive. Look After My Bills members are always kept on a great deal and they are protected from rip off tariffs forever.
Launched in January 2018 we have pver half a million members who have saved well over £100 million and we continue to grow fast.
We've had investment from the world-renowned Silicon Valley start-up accelerator Y Combinator who have previously funded AirBnB, Dropbox, Stripe, Coinbase and numerous other successful companies.
Our team is growing fast so if you want to get involved message us and let us know.
Look After My Bills is a new service from consumer collective The Big Deal which has moved over £125 million of energy custom saving our users over £25 million.
