Some leave during their professional life, seeking better work opportunities. Some leave in search of a superior quality of living. Often, it’s a mix of the three.

From the Ordinary to Octopus Energy: how are disruptive businesses injecting humanity into their strategies?
At its heart, business is about people. Or, more specifically, it is about people buying from other people. This might seem an obvious point, but it’s one that often seems to get lost amid talk of revenue, profits, innovation, productivity, social media campaigns, data analysis and the latest technological tools, not least artificial intelligence.

Support for life sciences startups is needed to translate world-class research into world-class companies
One of the UK’s real strengths is its life sciences engine, driving continuous innovation and a track record of breakthroughs. The key components are all there and whirring away: leading universities, talented people and an available pool of funding. However, the sector’s growth is not guaranteed. Support for our life sciences startups is needed if we are to continue translating our world-class research into world-class companies that can thrive within the UK ecosystem.

Building circularity-as-a service and making second hand tech cool
The demand for refurbished devices is skyrocketing and recommerce is essential, given the expected rise in e-waste to 82 million tonnes annually by 2030. This shift is no longer niche - it’s mainstream. But to fully realise this potential, retailers must rethink their approach to circularity. It’s about more than just offering trade-in programs; it’s about aligning every aspect of the business - from supply chains to customer service - around the principles of a circular economy.
