    Walk-in Clinic Returns to the City of London

    Walk-in Clinic, a provider of private GP and testing services, that has supported Londoners and visitors to London since 1998, is delighted to announce that it is returning to the City of London with a new branch located near Liverpool Street and Bank stations.

    Walk-in Clinic is best known for its unique self-referral testing pathway that gives patients the power to order their own blood tests while ensuring their safety with a GP result review process. Over 6,000 patients self-referred for their blood tests last year alone.

    It’s also one of the first private providers of affordable same-day GP appointments, a range of health screenings, sexual health and corporate health services.

    CEO Alya Shakir commented, “We are delighted to be back in the City after a break due to the pandemic. Our flagship in W1 is wonderful but a little out of the way for our patients who work in the City or live within easy commute of Liverpool Street and London Bridge.

    This time around, we’re armed with a no-fuss online booking platform and great local partners for imaging and fast-tracked specialist referrals.

    We’re also excited to connect with local firms and offer an alternative personalised service for employees.

    We look forward to supporting existing and new patients and clients.”

  • Get a year of motoring for less than £130 with Ohme

    Get a year of motoring for less than £130 with Ohme

    With electricity prices reduced from 1st April, EV drivers will be able to charge their cars for less says Ohme, the UK’s largest dynamic smart charging company.

    As the Standard Variable Tariff drops to 24.5p/kWh on 1st April, the lowest price in two years, drivers of electric vehicles will be able to enjoy greater savings when charging at home.

    However, while that will be welcome news for EV drivers keen to reduce their charging costs, Ohme is encouraging those same drivers to make even bigger savings by switching to a smart EV tariff.

    “As more people are trying to lower their household bills, this reduction in the price of electricity will be welcome news for drivers of EVs,” said David Watson, Ohme CEO. “However, they could easily lower those bills further by finding out if their electricity supplier offers a special tariff for EV drivers. If not, then they should consider switching to an energy provider that does to enjoy even bigger savings of running an EV.”

    Ohme’s dynamic smart chargers can connect with the grid in real time, automatically adjusting to optimise the cost of charging and accessing all the times of the smartest, greenest and lowest cost energy tariffs.

    Charging on the new Standard Variable Tariff in a typical EV for 6800 miles of driving (the UK annual average) would cost £417.00. On a smart EV tariff such as Intelligent Octopus Go* however, the same mileage would cost just £127.50. The same distance in a petrol car would cost more than £1100.

    Ohme is the official charger provider for Mercedes-Benz and Hyundai in the UK, as well as Polestar and the Volkswagen Group in the UK and Ireland and customers on the Motability scheme, the largest fleet operator in the UK. Ohme has been named as Fast Track Company of the Year in the 2023 UK Green Business Awards as well as Best Chargepoint Manufacturer in the 2024 Irish EV awards

    Moreover, not only the startup aims to promote the company into becoming more of a global brand, by starting already the process in 2023 (which sees the presence of the firm in countries such as Italy, UK, Spain, Portugal and Brazil), but the aim is also to continue to invest in the JOINRS AI, an AI tool developed by the company that is able to read on behalf of the users the job descriptions.

Thus, with the recent funding we have received, we have the intention to consolidate this position at an international level” Says Gabriele Giugliano, co-founder and CEO of JOINRS. “In a few months we managed to attract over 150,000 new users. We are determined in continuing in growing our platform and community by improving and making easier and more efficient the process between the users getting into the world of work, and, at the same time, allowing corporations in finding the best junior talent.

    Joinrs is a start up that has the intention to be the point of reference between the digital meeting of students, recent graduates and young professionals with companies, active in Italy, UK, Spain, Portugal and Brazil.

    Currently JOINRS is being used by over 130+ corporations including AXA, Danone, Heineken, Unilever, PwC, Accenture, Siemens, Mazars, Generali and LIDL, which all have the possibility to innovate their process of Talent Acquisition by getting suitable candidates on their job postings thanks to the compatibility match provided by the Joinrs AI.

  • APS launches itson batteries for young and urban demographic

    APS launches itson batteries for young and urban demographic

    As of 2024, Advanced Power Solutions (APS) introduces itson batteries, targeting a younger demographic and reshaping the landscape of the mobile energy industry. With a focus on local production and renewable energy, itson is not just a battery. It’s a lifestyle choice for the environmentally conscious, aligning with the evolving preferences of today’s consumers.

    Embracing a conscious lifestyle is no longer just a trend, but a fundamental choice for many. Especially among the younger, urban demographic. This conscious living involves actively seeking ways to reduce environmental impact, such as local shopping, minimising car usage, and avoiding plastics.

    Despite batteries being an integral part of our daily lives, finding eco-friendly options has been challenging. Enter itson batteries: “From everyday household applications to on-the-go products like hearing aids, headphones, and cameras, batteries can now support a more sustainable lifestyle,” says Izabela Blaszczyk-Janicka, Marketing Director at APS.

    A conscious choice

    As part of the brand’s sustainability efforts, both its alkaline and hearing aid batteries are crafted and sourced within the EU. While many batteries rely on resources from across the globe, the brand’s commitment to local production significantly shortens the supply chain, contributing to a reduced carbon footprint.

    “This is a meaningful step forward in our industry’s journey toward sustainability. By keeping production and distribution within the EU, we cut our supply chain length, resulting in up to three times fewer CO2 emissions than transcontinental supply chains,*” states Sebastian Schulte, Sustainability Manager at APS.

    In addition to a shorter supply chain, the brand emphasises the use of renewable energy in its battery production. itson’s alkaline batteries are manufactured using 100% renewable energy, sourced from solar and wind power. Following the same principle, itson’s rechargeable batteries are pre-charged with solar energy.

    Simplifying decision-making

    Besides its sustainable initiatives, the brand strives for simplicity. itson offers a focused and lean product range of alkaline, rechargeable and specialty batteries, presenting consumers with two distinct options: batteries for low- to mid-drain or high-drain devices, emphasising functionality over unnecessary complexity. The packaging of these two options employs simple language and practical use cases to further simplify consumers’ decision-making. 

    A vibrant approach to sustainable living

    With sustainability as one of the brand’s primary differentiators, itson sets itself further apart from other mobile energy brands by incorporating vibrant colours and engaging communication, making the products stand out on the shelves among other brands. This deliberate choice is rooted in their commitment to visual storytelling: “Our core audience, predominantly young and urban, inspired a playful and bold communication style, aligning with their positive impact mindset,” explains Blaszczyk-Janicka.

    The brand’s tone of voice, characterised by positivity and fun, reflects itson’s belief that sustainability and excitement can go hand in hand. This way, it seeks to inspire not only consumers, but all industry stakeholders. “We feel that the battery market hasn’t changed much in the past decades. We hope that our choices inspire the industry to innovate and rethink their ecological footprint.” With a clear vision of encouraging positive change, itson is determined to reshape the landscape of the mobile energy industry.

  • Virgin Flies Atlantic On Sustainable Aviation Fuel

    Virgin Flies Atlantic On Sustainable Aviation Fuel

    What’s all the fuss about a Virgin Atlantic Boeing 787 flying from London Heathrow to New York JFK, after all this is something that happens every day! However, today Flight100 is very different from all of the other flights for one reason it uses Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) instead of the usual fossil-derived aviation fuel.

    The Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) is made from 88% HEFA (Hydroprocessed Esters and Fatty Acids) made from waste fats and 12% SAK (Synthetic Aromatic Kerosene) is made from plant sugars. The object of the flight is to prove that firstly it is practical and secondly a viable replacement for the current aviation fuel as the industry aims for Net Zero 2050.
