My aim is to give high-quality materials a second life, celebrating their beauty through thoughtful craftsmanship. By shopping from my ‘Cabinet,’ customers make eco-friendly, mindful choices while owning something original. This is more than just product creation—it’s about building a deeper connection between people and the items they choose to surround themselves with

As a creative and brand strategist, I’m on a mission to create branding solutions that are ‘just right.’ I’ve earned my branding chops in the course of an eclectic and organic career (spanning journalism, publishing, creative services and brand), and having worked at big names like Schroders, Elsevier and PwC.

I’m also a statistic — one among the 80% of women who are diagnosed neurodivergent late in life. My particular flavour of neurodivergence is Autism, manifesting as a brain that is adept at spotting patterns, connecting disparate ideas, oodles of creativity, and a lifelong obsession with words and language.

I find that strategy is a field where there’s a lot of thinking required without giving in to action bias. It’s probably why I’m good at it — I (over)think therefore I am (a strategist).

I am available for hire as a recipe developer, food writer, and can lead cookery classes to people of all ages and abilities including for corporates. I occasionally take on small scale catering jobs, and have catered over 70 wellbeing retreats all over the UK and Europe over the last 10 years.

(I also work part-time as a food educator at the Garden Museum in London as Food Educator, where I am responsible for devising and delivering cookery workshops to families, community groups and the general public).

“Hi, I’m Florence. I organise and host yoga and wellness retreats – In the Uk, India and The Gambia.

I am passionate about bringing people together and creating a space for meaningful connections – I only welcome small groups so my guests can feel heard and seen. My retreats are mainly off the beaten path and always a bit of an adventure.

My digital detox retreats in Cumbria “”Retreat like it’s 1999!”” are very popular as we all need to switch off and reboot once in a while!

I am also a trained and accredited sound healer.

I absolutely adore dogs and I have 3 rescues. I’m very invested in helping to reduce the stray dogs/free roaming dogs population. I donate £25 from every place sold to various spay/ neuter campaigns worldwide.”

I’ve spent 13+ years helping women, non-binary and queer-founded small businesses get found on Google. Thousands of clients, 50+ talks, 30+ podcasts, and counting.

I believe education gives us more autonomy and more visibility gives us more opportunity. I’m passionate about women and NB people earning their own money, building their independence, and having the freedom that comes with running a business on their own terms.

I work in two ways. Kickstart is my one-off bespoke SEO strategy for people who want to understand their SEO and action it themselves. Shine is my done-for-you monthly retainer for people who want it completely off their plate.

I also host Pints and Purpose, which you already know about because you’re here, because community, connection and a good pub are wildly underrated business tools.

Hello! I’m Mair, a trusted and experienced humanist celebrant. I lead naming ceremonies, weddings and funerals across London and beyond.

I enjoy creating meaningful ceremonies that tell my clients’ unique story with a warm and authentic tone of voice. I’ll always meet the client a couple of times before writing their ceremony from scratch – and then of course I’m there to support them on the day.

Originally from Wales, I’m a proud Welsh speaker and I also speak French. 

Outside work, I love singing in my local choir. I live in Penge with my husband, young son and miniature schnauzer.
