Monday motivation! It’s the start of a brand new week, is this the week where everything changes for you?
Here’s Neil reflecting on his experience, in a short interview for the Press & Journal.
We are here to help you and your people thrive! Get in touch if you’d like to know more about what we do, and how we do it.

Inverness businessman on a mission to unlock people’s innovation potential He says opportunity presents itself whenever you are ready after the business was set up two years ago.

We’ve been to many Pride events in the past, but there was something special about being a small part of this one.
As a small business working to ensure everyone can be their best self by being their authentic selves, it meant a huge amount to be able to sponsor, and volunteer at this important and significant event.
Hats off to the Highland Pride organising committee for really working magic, along with the hard graft from the volunteers, the other generous sponsors, and all who supported (police, local council, etc) it was a good natured community event ❤️🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🥳
There was a HUGE parade, and a wonderful party in the Northern Meeting Park afterwards.
So many good feels, and we can’t wait to be more involved next year!

This is a brilliant shop, we’ve saved money and stopped wasting plastic, give it a try ❤️

We are proud to sponsor this year’s @
