How To Look

After Your Hair

This Spring

NATALIE FISHER

Natalie Fisher is founder at hed honey – a luxury shampoo and

conditioner brand which has been created for women suffering from

psoriasis, hair thinning, itchy and dry scalp or hair loss

Spring brings warmer weather,

increased humidity, and longer

days, which can have both positive

and negative effects on your hair.

1. HYDRATE YOUR HAIR

This time of year can bring a shift

from dry, cold air to warmer, more

humid conditions leaving hair

feeling dry and frizzy. Hydrate

your hair with deep conditioning

treatments and moisturising hair

masks to restore moisture and

prevent split ends. Use a leave-in

conditioner or moisturising hair

oil for extra hydration.

2. PROTECT HAIR FROM UV

DAMAGE

The sun’s UV rays can weaken

your hair, causing colour to fade

and increasing the risk of dryness.

Consider using hair products with

UV protection or wearing a hat

when you’re out in the sun for

extended periods.

3. SWITCH TO LIGHTER HAIR

PRODUCTS

In winter, you may have been

using heavier products to combat

dryness. As the weather warms

up, it’s a good idea to switch to

lighter, more breathable products.

Look for lightweight shampoos,

conditioners, and styling gels that

won’t weigh your hair down.

4. WASH YOUR HAIR LESS

FREQUENTLY

Washing your hair too frequently

can strip it of natural oils, making

it dry and brittle. Instead, try to

wash your hair two to three times

a week, depending on your hair

type, and use a dry shampoo in

between washes to keep it fresh.

5. BE GENTLE WHEN

DETANGLING

Hair can become more fragile

in spring, especially if you’ve

been out in the sun or dealing

with increased humidity. When

detangling your hair, use a widetooth

comb to prevent breakage.

Avoid brushing wet hair as it’s

more vulnerable to damage.

6. TRIM YOUR HAIR

REGULARLY

Spring is a good time to get rid of

split ends and refresh your look

with a trim. Regular trims every

six weeks will keep your hair

healthy and encourage growth.

7. LIMIT HEAT STYLING

Try to limit your use of hot tools

like blow dryers, flat irons,

and curling irons. The spring

humidity can add volume and

texture naturally, and by reducing

heat styling, you can prevent

further damage. If you do need

to use heat, always apply a heat

protectant beforehand.

8. MANAGE HUMIDITY AND

FRIZZ

Humidity can cause hair to

swell, frizz, and lose its shape.

To manage this, consider using

anti-humidity sprays or serums

that lock in moisture and prevent

frizz. You can also embrace your

natural texture by opting for a

simpler hairstyle like braids, buns,

or natural curls.

9. EAT A HAIR-HEALTHY DIET

Good hair starts from within.

Eating a balanced diet rich

in vitamins and minerals,

particularly those that promote

hair health (like biotin, vitamin E,

and omega-3 fatty acids), can help

your hair grow strong and shiny.

10. STAY HYDRATED

Drinking plenty of water is key

to healthy hair. When you’re

hydrated, your scalp and hair

follicles receive the moisture they

need to stay healthy, which helps

your hair grow well and maintain

its natural shine. By following

these tips, you can keep your hair

looking its best throughout the

spring season, whether you’re

enjoying outdoor activities or just

relaxing at home.

Revolutionary Skincare That

Restores Your Skin’s Full Potential

BIOJUVE is a revolutionary breakthrough that harnesses the

power of probiotics to restore the skin’s microbiome, optimising its

natural ecosystem for lasting, visible results.

In the ever-evolving world

of skincare, BIOJUVE is a

revolutionary breakthrough

that goes beyond surface-level

treatments.

Unlike traditional skincare

products, which often focus

solely on hydration and topical

nourishment, BIOJUVE harnesses

the power of probiotics to restore

the skin’s microbiome, optimising

its natural ecosystem for lasting,

visible results.

This innovative approach is

redefining skincare, offering a

scientifically backed, age-defying

solution that works from within.

A TRUE SKIN PROBIOTIC

REVOLUTION

BIOJUVE is built on patented

skin probiotic technology, backed

by over a decade of research and

clinical data.

At the heart of its formula

lies Xycrobe Technology, a

proprietary probiotic system

designed to rebalance the skin

microbiome and enhance overall

skin health.

Unlike traditional skincare,

which only targets the outermost

layers, BIOJUVE works

24/7, continuously delivering

essential antioxidants, proteins,

polypeptides, fatty acids, and

other vital nutrients.

With clinically proven results

in just eight weeks, BIOJUVE

restores skin to its full potential,

addressing a range of concerns

from redness and uneven texture

to fine lines and dehydration.

This complete biome care

approach ensures a healthier, more

resilient complexion that radiates

from within.


VISIBLE RESULTS IN JUST

EIGHT WEEKS

BIOJUVE is more than just a

promise—it’s a scientifically

validated solution. Clinical studies

improvements in key signs of

ageing and skin health, with users

experiencing:

90% improvement in skin texture

for smoother, refined skin with a

noticeable glow.

87% reduction in under-eye circles

for brighter, more refreshed eyes.

81% improvement in even skin

tone for a balanced, radiant

complexion.

71% reduction in under-eye

puffiness for reduced fatigue and a

youthful appearance.

52% reduction in fine wrinkles for

softer, younger-looking skin.

42% improvement in skin laxity

for firmer, more supple skin.

Reduction in redness for calmer,

healthier-looking skin.

Balanced oil production for ideal

hydration levels for all skin types.

These clinically proven

results highlight BIOJUVE’s

effectiveness in transforming the

skin from the inside out, making

it a game-changer in the world of

biome-focused skincare.

THE SCIENCE BEHIND

BIOJUVE

What sets BIOJUVE apart is its

unique ability to work with all

skin types and address various

skin concerns, including acneprone

and sensitive skin. The

non-comedogenic, cruelty-free,

paraben-free, and fragrancefree

formulation ensures it is

suitable for even the most delicate

complexions.

Unlike traditional anti-ageing

products that rely on harsh

exfoliants or synthetic actives,

BIOJUVE restores the skin’s

microbiome with a natural,

biological approach. By fostering a

balanced environment for healthy

bacteria, it optimises hydration,

strengthens the skin barrier,

and enhances resilience against

environmental stressors.

nature. Here’s how the morning and

evening rituals break down.

MORNING GLOW-UP

Start with the Conditioning Cleanse,

a velvety non-foaming formula that

gently removes impurities without

disrupting your skin’s natural

balance. Follow this with the Biome

Support Complex, a powerhouse

blend of microbe-derived proteins

and antioxidants to support skin

firmness and hydration. Lock it

all in with the Hydrating Barrier

Cream, available in two variants—

Normal to Dry or Normal to Oily—

offering lightweight hydration and a

smooth base for makeup.

EVENING REVIVAL

Wind down your day with the

Conditioning Cleanse to wash

away pollutants and prep your

skin for repair. Then, reach for

the hero product: the Living

Biome Essentials Serum. With its

proprietary Xycrobe technology, this

serum works overnight to restore

and rejuvenate. Then, spritz on

the Activating Mist to activate the

serum’s living microbe technology.

THE DETAILS

The BIOJUVE regimen is

priced between £300-£400 and

is exclusively available through

authorised healthcare providers..

The products are also available

online from GetHarley.com

SkinPen at Asthetik London Clinic

Located on the top floor of a boutique health club in the heart

of Notting Hill, Asthetik London Clinic is the epitome of

discreet luxury. Under the medical expertise of consultant

doctor Dr David Rouse (FFICM, FRCEM), the clinic

promises excellence in aesthetic treatments. With James

Bayne, the lead aesthetic practitioner, at the helm, I booked

a SkinPen microneedling treatment (£250) to experience its

transformative results firsthand.

WHAT IS SKINPEN?

Microneedling has become a buzzword in skin rejuvenation,

and SkinPen, the world’s first FDA-cleared microneedling

device, is a true pioneer. It creates micro-traumas in the

dermis to stimulate collagen and elastin production, unveiling

a smoother, more radiant complexion. Whether tackling

acne scars, pigmentation, or fine lines, SkinPen is a versatile

solution with clinically proven efficacy and was voted Best

Device of the Year at the 2024 Aesthetics Awards.

THE EXPERIENCE

My appointment began with James assessing my skin’s needs

and putting me at ease. An anaesthetic cream was then applied

to my face. After 25 minutes the numbing cream was removed

from my skin and James gently glided the SkinPen device over

my face. Despite the procedure’s technical nature, James’s

calm, confident approach turned it into a relaxing experience.

There was a sensation of light pressure from the SkinPen

without any discomfort. Post-treatment, my skin looked

flushed for a couple of days but after a week, it felt smooth and

refreshed. After 4 treatments spaced around 6 weeks apart,

one can expect smoother skin texture, more even skin tone,

increased skin firmness and minimised pores. There is also a

noticeable improvement in acne scars and hyperpigmentation.

Optimal results continue to develop for up to 3-6 months posttreatment

as collagen rebuilds.

THE VERDICT

If you’re seeking a reliable microneedling treatment that

delivers measurable results while indulging in a sophisticated

setting, SkinPen at Asthetik London Clinic is worth every

penny. Prepare to marvel at your own reflection.

Rethinking Potential:

Strategies for Women

Considering A

Career Change

LYNSEY HYSLOP

With over 16 years of experience

as a personal development

specialist, Lynsey Hyslop

has supported elite athletes,

Olympians, and individuals

navigating career transitions. As

the Senior Personal Development

Manager with the Rugby Players

Association, Lynsey helps athletes

manage their career development

both during and after their

sporting careers. She is also the

host of the globally recognised

career podcast When I Grow

Up, I Want to Be… The Careers

Podcast. Lynsey is passionate

about helping others explore

non-traditional career paths

and successfully manage their

second acts. Her work focuses

on empowering individuals to

identify their strengths, rethink

their career direction, and

confidently take the next step in

their professional journey.

Being ‘career

change curious’ often

leads to stagnation if

you’re unsure where

to begin

For many women, considering a

career change or pivot can feel

overwhelming. But whether this

change is driven by changing life

circumstances, shifting priorities,

or a growing sense that there’s

more within you waiting to be

discovered, take comfort that

reinvention is possible—and it

doesn’t mean starting over from

scratch. Second careers often

emerge from pursuing an interest

or recognising the potential in

a skill they hadn’t previously

considered marketable.

The truth is every experience

you’ve had—whether it felt

significant at the time or not—

has shaped who you are and what

you have to offer. By reflecting

on those experiences, using

the process of elimination to

understand what doesn’t align

with you, gaining clarity on

what does, and considering why

now feels like the right time for

change, you can begin carving

out a fulfilling second act.

Through uncovering your

transferable skills, exploring

fresh opportunities, and building

your confidence, uncertainty can

turn into possibility. If you’re

ready to take the next step, here’s

how to begin.

1. DISCOVER YOUR

TRANSFERABLE SKILLS

Every career, no matter how

niche, is packed with skills that

can apply to other fields. The

key is learning to reframe them

in new contexts. Skills like

communication, problem-solving,

and teamwork are valuable in

any industry. Plus, your unique

experiences provide a fresh

perspective on these common

skills, which is invaluable.

To uncover your transferable

skills, think beyond the obvious

and consider all areas of your

life where you’ve demonstrated

skills and strengths. This can be

experiences inside and outside

of work, including personal

responsibilities and community

involvement. Start by asking

yourself:

• What challenges have I

overcome in my career, and

how?

• What strengths do I naturally

bring to problem-solving or

teamwork?

• When have I successfully

juggled competing priorities?

• What parts of my role light

me up?

• What am I doing when I’m

feeling I’m at my best in a

work context?

• Which skills do I receive

compliments on from

colleagues or friends?

2. EXPLORE NEW CAREER

PATHS

Once you understand your

transferable skills, it’s time to

explore what direction you want

to go in and where your skills can

take you. This isn’t about having

all the answers straight away—

it’s about staying curious and

open to possibilities.

I have found a good starting

place is to write down everything

you enjoy: your interests, what

excites you, what you do when


you have a spare half-hour and the

activities that make you lose track

of time. This kind of “mind dump”

can help reveal themes that align

with both what you love and what

you’re good at. When you can see

it all in front of you, it makes it

easier to spot connections and start

to get a sense of where to focus.

• Research industries or roles

that have always intrigued

you—read up on them, follow

key people in those areas, and

be mindful of what stands out.

• Join online communities

or if you prefer in person

interaction, attend networking

events.

• Tune into podcasts or read

articles where people share

their career journeys. Pay

attention to which parts

of their stories spark your

interest.

• Use LinkedIn to your

advantage—find someone in

a role that interests you and

reach out for a virtual coffee.

Asking a simple question

like, “What does your dayto-day

actually look like?”

can provide so much valuable

insight.

3. USE THE PROCESS OF

ELIMINATION

Now that you have more clarity

on what excites you, the next

step is to focus on what doesn’t.

Understanding what doesn’t work

for you is just as important as

knowing what does—it’s like

piecing together a puzzle. Each

job, task, or hobby that doesn’t

light you teaches you something.

I often tell clients and podcast

listeners, “Process of elimination

is progress.” Trying different

things—whether it’s a short

course, a volunteer role, a side

project, or simply talking to others

in different roles —can help you

identify what doesn’t fit and bring

you closer to what does.

Think back to roles or projects

you’ve done and ask yourself these

prompts.

• What drained your energy?

• What didn’t align with your

values?

• What environment were you in

that least excited you?

Then, focus on what remains—

these are your clues for your

next move. Don’t be afraid to

experiment; even an experience

that doesn’t work out adds a layer

of clarity.

4. ASK YOURSELF: WHY NOW?

Career pivots often come from a

desire for more—whether that’s

more fulfilment, more balance, or

more alignment with the person

you’ve grown in to. But identifying

your “why” is crucial for creating

a plan.

• Are you feeling stuck or

unfulfilled in your current

role?

• Have your priorities shifted

due to life changes?

• Are you craving new

challenges or opportunities to

grow?

Knowing your “why” gives you

focus, helping you stay motivated

when things feel uncertain.

Take a few minutes to reflect on

what’s truly driving your career

change. Be honest with yourself

about your reasons—whether it’s a

desire for personal growth, better

balance, or something else entirely.

Then, identify one simple action

you can take today to move toward

that goal, whether it’s researching

a course, reaching out to someone

in a field you’re curious about, or

just imagining what fulfilment

looks like for you.

5. BUILD CONFIDENCE TO

TAKE THE LEAP

Confidence can often feel like the

biggest hurdle when considering

a change, especially after years

in the same field. But confidence

isn’t something you need to have

upfront—it’s something you build

through taking action.

Every job, project, and skill you’ve

picked up over the years isn’t just

random isolated knowledge; it’s

a layer that builds up, creating

a valuable foundation that’s

unique to you. Remember, it’s not

about waiting for confidence to

magically appear before making

a move—confidence grows with

every step you take. The more you

lean into your strengths, embrace

new challenges, and take action,

the more your confidence will

build.

TIPS FOR BUILDING

CONFIDENCE

1. Reach out to friends, family,

and mentors who believe in

you. Surrounding yourself

with positive influences can

boost your confidence and

provide the encouragement

you need to take the leap.

2. Break things down to small

manageable steps. Whether it’s

updating your CV or LinkedIn

profile, attending a networking

event either in person or

online, or taking a relevant

online course, these mini

milestones will build your

confidence over time.

3. Don’t forget to celebrate

every achievement, no matter

how small. Recognise your

progress and give yourself

credit for every step forward.

This will help reinforce your

self-belief, remind yourself of

your resilience and will help

keep you motivated.

4. Join a community of women

navigating similar transitions

because being surrounded by

others who are on the same

path reminds you that you’re

not alone and that others

have successfully walked this

journey too.

Remember, your second act

doesn’t have to be perfect from day

one. Allow yourself to experiment,

adapt, and grow along the way. It

isn’t about erasing your past; it’s

about building on it. Taking time

to explore opportunities that align

with your skills, passions, and

experiences is an important part

of your journey. Your second act

isn’t just about change—it’s about

evolution, and the path forward is

yours to shape.

Intervi


Sara Davies talks to Preneur World about facilitating

everyday inventions from paper to prototype in her

new BBC show The Big Idea Works

ew

New BBC One series The Big Idea Works

features everyday people who have come

up with a clever idea for a new product,

but don’t know where to start in getting it

made.

Step in Sara Davies, with her eye for

innovation and amazing concepts, she

brings together people with amazing ideas

and the brilliant makers who can turn them

into reality.

Can you tell me about how you started

P out and how your dad helped you

create a prototype of your envelope

idea?

When I was at university I did a work

S placement and in that year I worked

for a tiny craft company and it opened

my eyes to this amazing industry and led

me think I want to start a business here. So,

I researched the industry and met a load of

the customers and the big thing for me was

they were all into card making but nobody

ever had an envelope to match the card.

You could buy envelopes but in standard

sizes. There were tools out there for folding

different sizes and different shapes of card

so I thought why can’t you use it to fold

envelopes?

My dad, who is an engineer, managed to

work out how we could do it because you

had to turn the card at 45 degrees. That

was the lightbulb moment for me that I was

then able to pick that up and run with it and

use that to form the basis of the business. I

guess that’s the only thing with the show,

a lot of people have these ideas but aren’t

lucky enough that their dad is an engineer,

so let’s give everyone access to these

amazing engineers.

P

It’s a feel good show so can you tell us

about the idea of the series and why it

appealed to you?

I just love people and I love the

S excitement of being a part of

someone’s journey. Quite often for

me that’s in business and entrepreneurial

journeys but this is a little different because

this is inventors’ journeys, this is their

ideas and what I love about it is a lot of

people we’ve met have had these ideas for

years and have just been sitting on them

and not able to do anything with them

because they didn’t know how to get it

made.

They come along to us and you feel it

the first time they walk in and talk to

the engineers, you can see them getting

so excited. When I get to interview the

inventors, they feel grateful to me even

though it’s not me who is the one doing

it, it’s the engineers, they feel like I made

that dream a reality. To be part of that with

them is brilliant and I’m so chuffed to be

helping make their dreams a reality.

I’ve never hosted my own show before

and to be the presenter, able to ask all the

questions we all want to know the answers

too - it’s been really exciting.

Most people wouldn’t know where to

P go if they had an idea so how brilliant

is it to be part of a show that can bring

people’s ideas to life?

Phenomenal and I just know what a

S minefield it can be. When I want to

launch a new product we go to specific

product engineers and specialists all over

the world who do this but it’s taken me 20

years to build up that knowledge of how to

do that.

For a lot of people at home that would just

be overwhelming and expensive and they

don’t know what to do, so it’s so exciting

that The Big Idea Works can be that

facilitator. I also just think it will be so

fascinating for people at home because it’s

wonderful to connect with the inventors on

their journey.

P

Can you tell us about how great it was

to see the excitement of contributors

when their dreams were realised?

It was one of the greatest privileges

S I’ve had working in TV. For a lot of

them, we didn’t do what they asked

for, we did that and went above and

beyond. I loved filming the series and

seeing contributors reactions.

Can you tell us about how amazing

P your team of experts are and how

fascinating it was for you to learn from

them and draw on their knowledge?

PRENEUR WORLD 17

L-R: Sim Oakley, Eneni Bambara-Abban, Annie Chapter, Sara Davies, Felix Rowberry, Andy Fordham

If you don’t know much about engineering there

S are so many specialist kinds. Eneni is a robotics

specialist. Even when she isn’t leading on a

project, it’s the way she can help and contribute which

is just fascinating. Sim is a brilliant all-rounder, Andy

is an electronics engineer, he gets so excited about

some of the geeky elements to engineering.

Were there any moments in the series where you

P were blown away by what the experts created as

some of the ideas ranged from the outlandish to

the sublime?

I remember the first one wasn’t even something

S that looked that amazing but it was a baby

product and because I’ve had kids I totally

connected with the problem the inventor was trying

to fix. When the engineers showed me, I thought ‘that

isn’t physically possible’. I got my dad to come up to

set, he drove up to Newcastle and he was stunned. It’s

the simplest thing but it’s very clever engineering.

P

Were there any products that you felt you could

actually use yourself and would want to take

home?

Not every product we developed a prototype

S for is commercially viable. Some things I just

loved for the learnings and the engineering but

for the ones that are commercially viable I remember

thinking I hope they go and do something with it

because I would buy one of these tomorrow.

How has this series changed your views on the

P inventing world because Big Idea Works isn’t

about making products that can be commercially

successful?

The big win for me would be the day someone

S comes and tells me they were doing GCSEs and

the teachers made them watch an episode of The

Big Idea Works to understand how this works. That

would be a life-made moment. I just think it’s the sort

of one if you sit at home watching it you feel like you

become a smarter person and you feel like you’ve

really had to some value from watching it as well as it

being incredibly heart-warming and fun too.

P

Why will this series appeal to ordinary people

and what you think will be the biggest takeaways

for audiences?

You see yourself in it. Ordinary people at home

S will see people like them on screen. Hopefully

viewers will watch and think I’ve had an idea

and could apply to that show. It just feels really

normal and achievable.

P

How would you feel if someone from the series

appeared on Dragons’ Dens further down the

line after appearing on your show?

Absolutely thrilled, that to me would be full

S circle. Not all the products are capable of being

made into a business but there are several of

them which could be very commercially successful.

You never know, we might see some of them in the

Den.

P

Can you talk to us about the importance of

filming a show like this in the North East and

why your home region is so special?

The nations ad regions have so much to offer. We

S had some of the most talented cameramen and

women, sound guys, runners working on this

show with the production company, TwentySix03 and

people who just don’t get opportunities in our area to

work on TV. A lot of people have to travel outside of

the region to get work and I know how much it means

to me to be able to work in my home region.

P

What impact do you hope your new show The

Big Idea Works could have on viewers?

I really hope it can inspire people to be

S interested in engineering and to do something

with the ideas they have because there’s so much

potential and people just need to know where to go

and how to do this. And I hope that people enjoy

watching them, and want to binge more of them. It’s

been a fabulous series to work on and I can’t wait for

people to see the episodes.

AI Literacy: A Vital Skill for

Tomorrow’s Business Leaders

Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming the way

organisations do business. Newer, more advanced

models are capable of automating repetitive tasks,

generating content like sales pitches, or taking on

customer-facing roles – consider how many websites

are now equipped with a chatbot helper, including

AACSB earlier this year.

There are widespread concerns this may lead to job

losses, but the situation is complicated. A study by

McKinsey Global Institute estimates AI could help

to create between 20-50 million new jobs worldwide

by 2030, and experts at institutions like AACSBaccredited

Harvard Business School suggest in

many cases, AI will not replace humans, but humans

empowered with AI tools will replace those who have

not adopted AI.

Proficiency with AI is vital for students who will

be at the forefront of innovation as they enter the

workforce. AI can analyse vast quantities of data,

generating quick, cost-effective market insights

that enable leaders to identify gaps in the market.

Generative AI can also act as a debate partner,

suggesting aspects of a startup idea that need

further development, which can help strengthen an

entrepreneur’s pitch to potential investors. AACSB

actively encourages our member institutions to

explore uses of AI that can prepare students for the

future workplace.

HOW BUSINESS EDUCATION IS ADOPTING AI

Adopting AI is no longer an option. It impacts what

teach, how we teach, how we assess the progress

of learning, and also school management. Business

schools around the world are responding to the

growing demand for AI skills by creating new

programmes, from degree programs to online short

courses, and embedding technology into methods of

teaching and assessment. Faculty are utilising GenAI

to more quickly plan lessons and have more time to

give personal assistance to their students.

Survey data gathered by AACSB International

suggests these efforts are seen as a desirable option

for postgraduate study. The popularity of specialist

master’s programs in areas including, but not limited

to, tech and AI is a key reason for the steady rise in

applications to master’s programs across the business

education sector in the last six years.

HOW TO USE AI TO ENCOURAGE SELF-

REFLECTION

There are many different ways teachers can bring

AI into the classroom, but a common trend is to use

AI-powered business simulations. The advanced

language-processing capabilities of generative AI in

particular, lends itself to being used in this way. AI is

used to construct a real-world business scenario, and

the student learns by making a series of choices while

AI reveals the impact of their decisions.

This approach encourages student engagement, as

the simulation requires them to actively interact;

making choices. Simulations also provide students

with opportunities to tackle realistic challenges for

businesses in a safe and controlled environment.

After the exercise, they can reflect on their decisionmaking

process and identify how they may approach

the challenge differently in the future.

An ability to learn through self-reflection is an

essential skill for business leaders and is not

uncommon to have to return to the drawing board

multiple times in the process of launching a startup.

Students and future entrepreneurs need to be able to

iterate quickly, and business simulations offer insight

into how AI can be used to assist the process.

HOW TO USE AI TO SUPPORT LEARNING

AI can also be used to tailor instruction to the


LILY BI

unique learning needs of each student. Adaptive and

personalised learning became a reality. This utilises

AI’s advanced analytical capabilities to assess a

student’s performance how quickly they progress and

whether they would benefit from additional support.

Alternatively, the AI could offer assistance by

suggesting learning resources to bolster a student’s

understanding of a particular topic. A second option

would be for the AI to regulate how quickly students

are presented with new topics or learning materials,

ensuring each person learns at a pace that suits them.

The result is a personalised approach to education

that ensures no one is left behind.

HOW TO USE AI IN PROBLEM-SOLVING

A third approach to implementing AI in teaching at

business schools is to encourage students to use AI

for research, both in and outside the classroom. With

a teacher’s guidance and supervision, students can

learn to write detailed prompts, check the accuracy

of AI-generated content, and apply this content

in classroom debates, discussions, and written

assessments. This gives them the foundational skills

to use AI efficiently and ethically outside higher

education in the world of business.

Many schools make using AI for research purposes

essential for students in certain courses. Assessments

can move to how effectively students can employ

that knowledge to answer a question, argue a case, or

solve a challenge.

This focus on employing AI to assist with problemsolving

is highly applicable to entrepreneurship.

Startups maintain their competitive edge against

larger companies through agility. Entrepreneurs who

are well-versed in using AI to adapt quickly to new

challenges will create more resilient companies that

have a higher chance of achieving financial success.

HOW TO ENSURE BUSINESS EDUCATION STAYS

RELEVANT FOR THE FUTURE OF WORK

Against the backdrop of an international business

landscape being shaped by rapidly developing AI

technology, business schools are equipping graduates

with the skills to use AI efficiently and ethically,

while also teaching the human-centred skills of

critical thinking and emotional intelligence. We

support our accredited schools in advancing their

use of AI in the classroom because business schools

are vital in setting a strong foundation for learners

to develop an innovative mindset with AI at the

forefront.

AACSB produced a comprehensive report in April

“Building Future-Ready Business Schools with

Generative AI” which offers rich details, guidance

and advice which can support an up and coming

entrepreneur.

As the world’s longest-standing accrediting body

for business schools, AACSB’s mission is to foster

high-quality education that responds to the needs of

the global business community. This includes helping

students develop their proficiency with digital tools

like AI. Through our conferences, thought leadership,

and robust peer-review process, we will continue to

bring business schools and businesses together to

facilitate the creation of engaging, relevant degree

programmes that help students succeed in the age of

AI.

This Spring With

Help From Brabantia

TWAN VERDONCK

Twan Verdonck has worked

at Brabantia for over 10 years

investigating the challenges,

needs, and desires of consumers

in their homes. Alongside

examining macro, technology,

and market trends, and exploring

how consumers will live in the

future, Twan is also responsible

for providing creative direction

for Brabantia as the brand moves

towards 100% Circular Design

by 2035.

Since starting at the company,

Twan and his team have been

instrumental in establishing

Brabantia as a household name,

producing products which

are not only high quality but

also beautiful and sustainable.

The creation of the Bo Touch

bin, known for its chic design

features and colour ways, is their

proudest achievement to date.

Spring is a great

time to invest in

laundry essentials to

ensure you’re prepared

for more laundry days

UPGRADE YOUR KITCHEN

BIN

As the weather warms up, the

number of family gatherings

– both indoors and outdoors

– increases, and so does our

volume of waste. Investing in a

practical yet stylish waste bin,

with sufficient capacity will help

you stay on top of waste disposal

while adding a sleek touch to

your kitchen.

Opt for a bin with internal

buckets, such as Brabantia’s Bo

Touch Bin, to make light work of

waste separation and help with

recycling. Its touch lid provides

practical and hygienic benefits,

while the wide opening helps

minimise spillages. Plus, its

streamlined, space-saving design

fits closely against any wall or

conveniently in a corner to help

keep walkways clear.

LAUNDRY ESSENTIALS

With spring comes lighter

garments and more opportunities

to dry clothes outdoors. Spring is

a great time to invest in laundry

essentials – such as laundry

baskets, ironing boards, and

washing lines – to ensure you’re

prepared for more frequent

laundry days. This way, you can

prioritise enjoying time outdoors

with family and friends.

Opt for space-saving solutions,

such as Brabantia’s Table Top

Ironing Board or HangOn Drying

Rack, to help keep your space

clutter-free, especially as your

home becomes busier. These

designs will keep spring and

summer clothing looking fresh,

especially linen and lighter

cotton fabrics, which tend to

crease more easily but can be

conveniently stored away when

not in use.

If you have space in your garden

or on your balcony, a rotary

dryer is a worthy investment for

the spring and summer months.

It doesn’t need to be warm for

washing to dry on the line – a

dry, 5-degree day with a light

breeze is enough to dry clothes

and achieve that fresh-laundry

feeling. Plus, drying clothes

outside offers benefits beyond

saving money and energy. Using

a rotary line, such as Brabantia’s

Lift-O-Matic Dryer, is better for

your clothes, the planet, and your

wallet.

REFRESH YOUR PANTRY

A streamlined, organised pantry

makes food preparation a breeze.

As more delicious seasonal foods

make their way into our kitchens,

there’s no better time to give your

pantry a refresh. Sort through

your food supplies, ensuring

nothing has expired, and check

for produce that needs to be used

soon. Decant your everyday

essentials, such as pasta, rice,

and nuts and seeds, into labelled

storage containers to save space

and make them easier to find.

Opt for a clear, sealable design

that allows you to easily see the

The Happy Pear

Wellbeing


With 20 years of experience guiding the public to eat well,

feel good and live better, The Happy Pear (aka Steve &

Dave Flynn) share ten top tips on how to eat more plant

based and whole foods this year and reap the benefits!

1. START YOUR DAY WITH A HEALTH BOOST

Kick off your mornings with a vibrant green

smoothie packed with fruit and greens such as

spinach or kale. Getting those essential fruits and

vegetables in early in the day is a great way to fuel

your energy and vitality.

2. FILL HALF YOUR PLATE WITH VEGGIES

At every meal, aim for half your plate to consist of

colourful, fresh, or cooked vegetables. This simple

rule boosts fibre intake (90% of of UK adults

don’t eat enough fibre), as well as adding in more

essential vitamins and minerals.

3. PREP LIKE A PRO

Batch cook in advance. Cook soups, roast sweet

potatoes, or prep lentil-based curries to ensure

healthy options are always within reach to avoid

giving into the temptation of fast-food takeaways

or sugar-laden snacks when you are feeling

hungry. Prepping saves time and makes it easier to

stick to your goals.

4. THINK GLOBAL FOR INSPO

Explore traditionally veg-heavy cuisines like

Thai, Indian, or Mediterranean. These naturally

centre on fresh, plant-based ingredients and bold

flavours destined to tempt your taste buds.

5. STEER CLEAR OF ULTRA PROCESSED

Seek out recipes which represent natural,

wholefoods rather than eating purchased meals

with ultra processed ingredients, as these will not

only be healthier (there is increasing awareness of

linking ultra-processed foods to potential health

risks), but since ultra-processed foods are likely

to make you feel hungrier, you may find yourself

consuming more calories which can lead to weight

gain.

6. TRY MEAT-FREE MONDAYS

If you’re a real meat-lover, why not initially try

experimenting with just one plant-based meal

a week to make a more seamless transition to

incorporating more plant-based ingredients into

the diet.? Try a deliciously creamy mushroom

linguine or hearty lentil shepherd’s pie. You’ll love

how easy and delicious these can be and will soon

be swapping in more plant-based meals – which

are healthier for you and your budget!

7. SNACK SMART

Rather than reaching for nutritionally poor snacks

such as crisps and sweets, switch these out for

healthier (and more filling options) like carrot

sticks and hummus, or roasted chickpeas with

tamari and nutritional yeast. Simple swaps like

these will make all the difference and will soon

become a habit.

8. INVOLVE YOUR COMMUNITY

Share your goals with friends and family or join

a healthy living challenge. Accountability makes

sticking to changes much easier.

9. ADD SOME BEANS

Add tinned beans, lentils or chickpeas to a curry

to increase the fibre content. Beans are also high

in protein and a great source of energy so they are

a brilliant addition at mealtimes when following a

plant based diet.

10. MAKE VEGGIE SNACKS

Cut up vegetables at the start of the week and

store them in the fridge as an easy snack and

serve the with houmous or homemade guacamole

for added nutrients. Or another great snack ideas

is roast tinned chickpeas or beans in the airfryer

with tamari and nutritional yeast for ten minutes.

These make a delicious snack for any time of the

day.

You must be

consistent in

everything be that

in your attitude,

your effort and

your output

Intervi


Preneur World talks to Michelin starred chef Diego

Cardoso about his Argentinian roots, the defining

moments of his career and creating CHIMMY’S

ew

Diego, your culinary journey has been

P extraordinary. What was the defining

moment when you knew food was your

calling?

Hard to say, really. I remember always

D being fascinated by food. And not

just the cooking side of it, but what it

means. Getting people together, the whole

experience of a family lunch. Growing

up in Argentina, weekends were always

about having the family over and doing big

barbecues, or asados as we call them back

home.

My first ever paid job as a teenager, was

in a bakery, so food related, and then I

was lucky enough to know some people

that ran a restaurant in New York. My dad

organised for me to go and spend a day in

the kitchen. It was utter chaos. The kitchen

was tiny, it was a Saturday brunch, and

the service was intense... and I loved every

minute of it!

From working alongside Gordon

P Ramsay and Angela Hartnett to

earning a Michelin Star, what

key lessons did you take from those

experiences?

I was incredibly lucky to meet

D Angela very early in my career, and

to have worked with her for 12 years.

She opened many doors in my career. I

think the key lesson that I learned isn’t

a big secret, but super valuable, and it is

‘consistency’. You must be consistent in

everything be that in your attitude, your

effort and your output.

Plus, kitchens are a high-pressure

environment, so working as a team and

looking after the team is also key. It’s all

about the team.

How has your Argentinian heritage

P shaped your approach to food, and how

do you balance those influences with

British tastes?

Argentina has a lot of Italian influence

D in its food, and that’s the type of

cuisine that has always attracted me -

fresh ingredients, and in season. Angela’s

cuisine and menus were, and still are,

heavily influenced by Italian flavours

which suited me perfectly. The UK is very

cosmopolitan with people from all over the

world which makes then quite open minded

in their tastes and a great place to work in

food.

As the Global VP of Culinary for

P Rhubarb Hospitality Collection, how

do you stay inspired to create fresh and

innovative menus?

I am lucky to be surrounded by a great

D team of chefs across the group and we

bounce ideas back and forth. I also

love to travel, and I’m fortunate to be able

to do this; seeing and tasting new things

keeps the creative juices flowing.

What do you believe discerning

P diners value most in today’s fine

dining experience, and how do you

ensure those values are at the heart of your

culinary creations?

I think value for money is key, but

D it’s the whole experience that matters.

Going out for dinner, especially for

a fine dining experience, is generally not

cheap. So, the whole experience, from

arrival, to service, to food to drinks needs

to be exactly on point.

London is one of the most competitive

P culinary cities in the world. What do

you think sets the London restaurant

scene apart from the rest of the world, and

where do you see it evolving in the next

decade?

I think all of this is driven by people.

D London is such a diverse city, with

people from all over the world and

everyone brings their own authentic take

on food to the table. Also, we have great

access to ingredients, which is crucial.

I think London will forever be a super

exciting city for food and will continue to

change and adapt to consumer demands.

I think the focus on sustainability and

waste, which is a key focus now, will

continue to grow too.

P

What advice would you give to

aspiring young chefs hoping to follow

in your footsteps?

PRENEUR WORLD 33

Hospitality is a fantastic industry, full of

D passionate people. If you want to go down this

route, fully commit. It’s not an easy industry, but

a super rewarding one. We get to feed people, every

day, and make people smile. How amazing is that?!?

We get to work side by side with people that are all

passionate about food and service.

Finally, stay curious and keep on learning.

Launching CHIMMY’S with your wife must

P have been such a passion project. What’s the

story behind its creation, and what do you hope

people feel when they taste your sauces?

Absolutely! Although it was never meant to

D be a business. Chimichurri is a staple in every

household back home but when we moved to

London we couldn’t find it in any of the stores, so

we had to make it ourselves. Of course, we shared

it with friends when they came over to eat and

gradually more and more asked us to make some

for them to take home. Over time they encouraged

us to do something more commercial with it, and

eventually we decided to give it a go.

Sofia and I just want people to love our sauces as

much as we do and to get excited about the flavours

we are sharing with them. Experiment with them, be

it with meat, fish or vegetables, and discover what is

possible!

P

What entrepreneurial challenges have you faced

getting CHIMMY’s where it is today, and how

have you overcome them?

There have been lots of challenges along the

D way, as with any new business. Making a sauce

at home in small batches is very different to

producing a sauce at scale to enter the market.

We had to work through supply chain as well as

distribution issues, while trying to understand the

market was a huge challenge. We had to learn who

our competitors were and how to penetrate the

market as a new product with a very small marketing

budget. Slowly the CHIMMY’S brand has become

more recognised, and it is now available from Ocado,

independent stores nationwide and Selfridges as well

as www.chimmys.com

It’s been a challenging yet very rewarding journey so

far.

How do you manage the balance between being

P a high-profile chef & entrepreneur in the fastpaced

culinary world and being the best husband

and father you can possibly be?

I would say I’m not great at finding the

D balance at all, but I am incredibly lucky to

have a super supportive wife as well as two

amazing daughters. And I do know there is nothing

I love more than spending time with them. But it’s

definitely hard balancing home life with work life,

especially as my job also means a lot of travel. I’d

say finding the right balance is still a job in progress.

P

You’ve achieved so much already, but what’s

next on your bucket list—personally and

professionally?

Professionally, I am in a super exciting time

D in my career. My favourite part is the teams I

work with, working together to tackle challenges

while doing lots of work in the UK as well as abroad.

Personally, I want to continue to travel with Sofia and

the girls. Our daughters are growing up so fast, so

we want to make the most of the years that they still

enjoy hanging out with us.

Lastly, if you could invite any four people, from

P the past or present, to a dinner party hosted by

you and your wife, who would they be, and what

would you cook for them?

We are both from Argentina, so that’s an

D impossible question to answer! We would want

to host a meal for all our friends and family. Sofi

and I went to school together, so we have the same

group of friends, add to this our family, brothers,

sisters with partners and kids… that’s the ideal meal

for us. Lots of people around a table.

Food… I am a sucker for childhood memories. Great

salads, empanadas, charcuterie, followed by the

most amazing asado of different cuts of meat. Garlic

potatoes, and lots of sauces… chimichurri of course!


Diego Cardoso and his wife, Sofia

CHIMMY’S chimichurri sauces bring the flavours of Argentina to

your table. Developed by Michelin starred chef, Diego Cardoso and

his wife, Sofia, the Argentinian couple were keen to replicate the

classic sauce of their homeland and share it with a British audience

The result is a range of rich, russet-coloured sauces made from a

delicious all-natural blend of dried herbs and spices, combined with

red pepper, tomato and paprika. CHIMMY’S sauces use less oil than

is usual so they contain less fat and fewer calories, they are free from

artificial preservatives, additives, flavourings or colourings, as well as

all 14 allergens, and are vegan friendly. Ideal for BBQs, hearty family

meals, dips for bigger gatherings or simply replace your usual ketchup

or condiment with one.

CHIMMY’S sauces retail for around £5.45 and can be found online

at Ocado or www.chimmys.com, and in-store at Selfridges, Hilliers

Garden Centres and independent stores nationwide. They come in

three delicious flavours – Classic, Smokey BBQ and Spicy.

a lot of humour in that, but

there’s also a lot of raw pain.

NT Live: Frankenstein

Premieres on Sky Arts

Danny Boyle’s A Theatrical Event Not to Be Missed

Benedict Cumberbatch

as Victor Frankenstein

Lovers of theatre, rejoice! As

headline sponsor of National

Theatre Live, Sky Arts is bringing

Frankenstein — Danny Boyle’s

electrifying adaptation of Mary

Shelley’s classic — directly to

your living room this March. This

visually stunning and emotionally

charged production, written

by Nick Dear, has captivated

audiences worldwide and now

makes its highly anticipated

television debut.

For over 15 years, National

Theatre Live has been a pioneer in

sharing the best of British theatre

with audiences across the globe.

This groundbreaking initiative

has released over 100 productions,

reaching over 13 million people

in 74 countries. Now, Sky Arts

continues this tradition by

making world-class theatre more

accessible than ever.

Premiering on 4 March at 9pm

(Jonny Lee Miller as the Creature)

and 11 March at 9pm (Benedict

Cumberbatch as the Creature),

Frankenstein delivers a thrilling

theatrical experience. Directed by

Academy Award-winner Danny

Boyle (Trainspotting, Slumdog

Millionaire), this bold retelling of

Shelley’s masterpiece explores the

tragic and complex relationship

between creator and creation.

Phil Edgar-Jones, Executive

Director, Unscripted Originals

at Sky, said: ”We’re delighted to

continue our partnership with

National Theatre Live and bring

these phenomenal productions to

TV audiences for the first time.

The National Theatre never fails

to deliver world-class storytelling,

and these plays - featuring

some remarkable talent - are


no exception. We can’t wait for

our Sky Arts viewers across the

country to experience them from

their sofas.”

CHARACTER STUDY OF THE

CREATURE

Speaking about the Creature,

Benedict Cumberbatch said:

“The Creature wants to be part

of society. He wants to belong—

it’s a very endearing thing to

watch evolve. You really care for

him because he is a man-child.

There’s a lot of humour in that, but

there’s also a lot of raw pain. This

lost thing, as he’s called—this

unformed, highly sensitive, strong,

determined fighter.”

Cumberbatch went on to say:

“He’s not trusted at any point. The

only thing that forces him to exile

himself from what he longs to

be a part of is the hope of having

a companion—and that’s taken

away from him.”

CHARACTER STUDY OF

VICTOR FRANKENSTEIN

Speaking about Victor

Frankenstein, Cumberbatch said:

“Victor is a man trying to achieve

something otherworldly, Godlike.

He wants to conquer humanity

and stand aloof from it in his

obsession. He puts everything

aside until he achieves greatness,

while the Creature longs to be part

of society.”

The production explores the fragile

boundary between humanity

and monstrosity, told from the

Creature’s perspective. The play

is filled with kinetic energy, from

its haunting industrial set to its

dynamic lighting effects, creating

an unforgettable experience.

WHERE TO WATCH

Frankenstein will be available to

watch at 9pm on 4 and 11 March

on Sky Arts, Freeview, and

streaming service NOW.

Intervi


Preneur World chats to trailblazing champion jockey

Harry Skelton about racing glory, family legacies,

what motivates him and life beyond the racetrack

ew

P

Harry, you’ve had an incredible journey

P in your career as a jockey and compete

with some of the best. Who are your

idols or mentors in the horse racing world

and can you describe the sense of fulfillment

in knowing that your hard work has brought

you to this point?

My role models growing up were AP

H McCoy and Richard Johnson, there

were so many admirable jockeys when

I was younger, and I felt very lucky and

privileged to come into racing when I did and

race against the likes of AP and Richard.

I’d like to hope that I’ve put plenty into the

sport and I’ve got a lot back from racing. It

gives me great pleasure to put all the work in

and to see that it has been rewarded is a good

feeling. In life you only get back what you

put in.

You’re riding nearly every day, pushing

P yourself to new limits for titles like the

Jump Jockey Championship. What’s the

mental and emotional strength that gets you

through those long, demanding days? What

drives you to keep going, even when the

fatigue sets in?

For me it is the good horses that really

H get you through those long and hard

days and give you the mental strength

to keep going. I am lucky to ride a lot of very

talented horses which I thank my brother

Dan for, and I am never too far away from a

winner.

In any sport you have got to be tough because

you must take the beatings and come back

from. Ultimately, you get beat a lot more than

you win and as you get older you learn that

and grow from it.

With a father like Nick Skelton, and all

the success he’s achieved, how have you

learned to embrace his legacy while

carving your own path? In what ways does

his story inspire you, but also allow you to

define your own version of success?

My dad was very successful growing

H up, which become normal in our

household. He would be riding around

the country and often globally, a lot of the

time this would be at weekends. We would

see him on a Monday before we went to

school and asked him how it went; it would

either be good news that he won and if not,

we wouldn’t talk about it.

Following in his footsteps of such a

successful career, I always wanted to achieve

the best could. Winning was what it was all

about when we were growing up, as kids it

was all we ever wanted to achieve, we were

never happy with second. Even now much

further along in my career, I always want to

make him proud of what I achieve. It has

always been in the back of my mind as a way

of repaying him for what he gave us when we

were younger.

You’re undoubtedly at the top of your

P game, but when you think about a win,

what does it truly represent for you? Is

it more about the horse beneath you, or the

journey you’ve taken together, and the bond

you’ve built?

To have a winner is what it is about,

H ultimately it is my job to ride winners

for owners, all connections, and the

horse. There is no feeling like the kick

you get when you have a winner, and it is

fulfilling to pass the enjoyment on to the

owners who can enjoy it for a bit longer, but

for us jockeys we then have to focus on the

next ride. You could have eight rides a day,

with just half an hour between each, so it is

nonstop but very rewarding when you have a

good day.

You’ve got many other sporting

P passions from show jumping to cycling

and skiing. How do these activities

contribute to your overall well-being

and mindset? How do they enhance your

performance as a jockey?

I love cycling, it is a good release, and

H it takes my mind off the day job which

is important. It also makes you fresher

for a day’s racing if you’ve not a day off, a

change is as good as a break.

I really enjoy going away when I can,

especially skiing, it freshens up your mind

gets you in a strong headspace. After a few

days off I am always and ready to get back to

racing.

They say horses are a family affair.

P Being part of such a family with

your father and brother must bring a

unique sense of connection. How does your

relationship with Dan and Nick inspire your

own personal growth and approach to racing?

PRENEUR WORLD 41

My brother Dan and my dad have been very

H successful so I don’t want to let the side down,

they have put a lot of belief in me which motivates

me to do the best job I can, which helps me to achieve

everything I do on the track.

As a dog lover and owner of two whippets, how

P would you describe the universal bond between

man and dog? What advice would you give to

someone thinking about buying a new dog, especially a

whippet?

I own two lovely whippets, and I really enjoy their

H company. They are very laid-back characters in

the house, and they love affection. They are very

easy going and are short runners, so they get their

energy used up quickly after a run about. It is nice to

have them around, and at the end of a long day whether

it’s bad or good they are always happy to see you. I

would definitely advise anyone who loves dogs to get a

whippet!

With so much success already under your belt,

P do you ever find yourself reflecting on what truly

motivates you? Is it the thrill of the win, or is it the

sense of personal growth, mastery, and pushing beyond

what you thought was possible?

Without a doubt winning is the biggest motivation,

H but as I have progressed in my career, I find more

fulfilment in being able to deliver on the big days

and win more prestigious races, and it is now what I

really want to push for. There are always new goals,

and until you have won absolutely everything there is

always something else you can win!

Being married to fellow jockey Bridget Andrews

P must provide a special kind of support. How does

having someone who truly understands the highs

and lows of being a jockey help you stay grounded and

focused on your goals, both in and out of the saddle?

Being married to Bridget who was also a jockey

H means she truly understand the highs and lows.

However, it is very important to me now to just

move on and leave it at the racecourse and to not bring

it home and inside the house. There’s much more

important things to focus on at home, especially now

we have our little boy, Rory.

P

The David Power Jockeys’ Cup is a coveted

prize, but beyond the financial reward, what does

it represent for you? Is it a symbol of reaching


the pinnacle of your craft, or does it offer something

deeper—like the opportunity to inspire others and leave

a lasting legacy in the world of racing?

I think that the David Power Jockeys’ Cup is going

H to be a challenge for jockeys, you have to be able

to deliver on the big days as these races are on

ITV, which comes with added pressure.

To win the points there is going to be a lot of skill

needed in the rides which will bring out the best

in jockeys and hopefully the public can also enjoy

watching the competition and follow the sport with

more interest. It is an exciting prospect for the sport.

If you could invite any five people—dead or

P alive—to a dinner party, who would you choose

and why? What would you hope to learn from

them?

The five people I would invite to a dinner party

H would be Sir Alex Ferguson, John Magnier, Mark

Cavendish, Jessica Ennis-Hill and Roger Federer.

I would invite these people as they have all reached the

very top in their profession and have made everything

they have from underneath them over such longstanding

careers. Their discipline has also obviously

been second to none, and I would hope to learn a thing

or two from them.

P

We all have those moments that make us laugh.

What’s the funniest or most memorable thing that’s

happened to you in the paddock or at the stables?

One of the funniest things I have seen on a

H racecourse was at Newbury Racecourse when a

horse was going to the start, and it took off with a

jockey and jumped a steeplechase fence backwards.

P

H

What’s the last text message you received that

made you smile, and who was it from?

The last message that made me smile was from

Bridget, and it was a picture of our little boy Rory.

Beyond the world of racing, if you could take a

P month off to fully immerse yourself in any one of

your other interests or passions, which one would

you choose and why?

I would choose skiing; I just love everything

H about it and when you get the good weather is

it beautiful. I love the food and how you can do

as much or as little as you want, you can also see and

experience things and challenge yourself.

Perfect Pairings: Classic and

Unusual Matches for Champagne

Champagne is the ultimate gastronomic chameleon, capable of

elevating everything from delicate seafood to indulgent desserts. While

classic pairings never fail, exploring more unexpected matches can

unlock new layers of complexity.

CHAMPAGNE: THE ULTIMATE

FOOD COMPANION

Beyond luxury and celebration,

Champagne is a food-friendly

powerhouse. Its vibrant acidity,

delicate mousse, and complex

flavour profiles mean there’s a

style for every dish. Whether

indulging in classic pairings

or daring to try something

unexpected, one thing is certain—

Champagne belongs at the table as

much as in the toast.

Here are some classic suggestions

with a few unexpected twists.

NON-VINTAGE BRUT

The all-rounder of the Champagne

world, NV Brut thrives as an

aperitif but truly shines alongside

food. Its crisp acidity and biscuity

notes make it perfect for freshly

shucked oysters, crispy fried

chicken, or delicate white fish.

The contrast between the bubbles

and the richness of fried food is

particularly divine. For a leftfield

pairing, try it with truffle

fries—its acidity slices through

the richness while enhancing the

umami.

ROSÉ CHAMPAGNE

With its vibrant red fruit

character, rosé offers the perfect

bridge between delicate and robust

dishes. A seared sirloin steak finds

balance in its refreshing acidity,

while a red onion tatin enhances

its savoury-sweet contrast. Sushi

– especially salmon nigiri –

beautifully complements its berryrich

profile, while a surprising

match is Peking duck, where

the Champagne’s fruitiness cuts

through the crispy skin and hoisin

glaze.

BLANC DE BLANCS

This 100% Chardonnay

Champagne is all about

citrusy elegance. Its

lively minerality

pairs seamlessly

with zesty

ceviche,

while the fresh acidity cuts

through the creaminess of goat’s

cheese. For a sweet finish, a

classic lemon tart mirrors its

bright, refined character. Want

something different? Parmesan

crisps highlight its saline edge,

creating an elegant and moreish

snack.

BLANC DE NOIRS

Made entirely from black grapes,

Blanc de Noirs boasts richness

and structure. A bold surf and

turf dish plays to its weight, while

earthy mushroom risotto enhances

its depth. A platter of charcuterie

is another wonderful match,

allowing the wine’s complexity to

unfold. Even a rich truffle burger

finds harmony with its opulent

character.

VINTAGE CHAMPAGNE

Aged to perfection, vintage

Champagne pairs beautifully

with foie gras, lobster, and

shellfish. Its layers of brioche,

nuts, and honey also harmonise

with mature cheeses, creating a

decadent flavour symphony. A

lesser-known but equally sublime

match? Buttered popcorn, where

the wine’s toasty notes mirror the

savoury, caramelised richness of

the snack.

DEMI-SEC CHAMPAGNE

With its touch of sweetness,

Demi-Sec is a natural partner

for Asian sweet and sour dishes.

It also enhances fruit-based

desserts, making it a magnificent

match for tarte tatin or millefeuille.

For an alternative, try blue

cheese drizzled with honey—the

contrast of sweet and salty is truly

unforgettable.

As k The Ex p e r t

Unlock the True Potential of Wine

with the Science of Perfect Aeration

By Jonathan Kleeman, sommelier &

award-winning wine consultant

For centuries, wine enthusiasts have sought to

enhance their drinking experience through the

simple yet transformative process of aeration. At its

core, aeration allows wine to interact with oxygen,

unleashing its hidden complexities and softening

harsh tannins. Whether you’re dealing with a robust

red or a delicate white, the right approach to aeration

can elevate your enjoyment.

The traditional decanter is a staple for this practice.

A large vessel increases the wine’s surface area,

enabling oxygen to permeate the liquid quickly.

Pouring less wine into a larger decanter accelerates

the process but also increases oxidation, which can

be detrimental if overdone. The goal is balance:

allowing the wine to breathe without compromising

its integrity.

UNDERSTANDING THE OBJECTIVES OF

AERATION

Aeration is not a one-size-fits-all solution. Its purpose

depends on the type and age of the wine:

1. For Young Wines: Aeration encourages

development, softening astringent tannins and

highlighting fruit-forward characteristics.

2. For Mature Wines: Older wines, often labeled

“shy,” benefit from gradual oxygen exposure to

awaken subtle flavors and aromas hidden during

years of storage.

3. To Remove Sediments: Particularly relevant for

aged wines, decanting also serves a practical purpose

by separating the wine from sediments.

Avoid the common mistake of uncorking a bottle and

leaving the wine in it, hoping for adequate aeration.

This method is ineffective, as the narrow bottleneck

minimizes oxygen contact. Instead, consider

alternative methods to maximize the wine’s exposure

to air.

METHODS OF AERATION: FROM CLASSIC TO

CONTEMPORARY

Classic Decanting: As mentioned, the decanter

remains a reliable method. For best results, ensure

the wine flows smoothly along the decanter’s walls,

maximizing its oxygen exposure.

Double Decanting: Pouring wine into a decanter and

then back into its original bottle is a practical way to

aerate while maintaining the bottle’s aesthetic appeal.

Swirling in Glass: A simple, old-fashioned approach.

By swirling wine in a glass, you increase its contact

with oxygen. It’s particularly effective for personal

servings.

While these techniques remain effective, they’re

often time-consuming and labour-intensive. Enter

modern innovation, which has revolutionized how we

approach aeration.

CUTTING-EDGE AERATION SOLUTIONS

Recent technological advancements have introduced

devices designed to streamline the aeration process.

Traditional tools, such as handheld aerators with


perforations or swirling tracks, are effective but

can be messy. The latest generation of tools, like

contactless aerators, offers unparalleled convenience.

Take, for instance, the electromagnetic wave

technology employed by the Kairos Aerator. This

device delivers precise aeration in seconds rather

than hours, providing users with tailored settings

for different wine types. Such advancements have

redefined the boundaries of wine enjoyment, making

premium practices accessible to all.

PRACTICAL TIPS FOR PERFECT AERATION

1. Match the Tool to the Wine: Young, tannic reds

benefit from longer aeration, while delicate whites

require gentler exposure.

2. Use the Right Glassware: Tall glasses with

sufficient bowl space enhance aeration. Ensure the

wine surface is above the aerator’s operational level,

if using devices.

3. Experiment with Time: Adjust aeration times

based on your wine’s varietal, region, and vintage.

Devices with customizable settings make this

process intuitive.

4. Cleanliness is Key: Whether using a decanter or

modern aerator, ensure your tools are clean to avoid

contaminating the wine’s flavour.

Perfect aeration is both a science and an art.

By understanding the principles behind oxygen

exposure and leveraging the right tools, anyone can

transform their wine-drinking experience. Whether

you’re using a classic decanter, swirling in a glass,

or embracing modern technology, the ultimate

goal remains the same: unlocking your wine’s true

potential.

While I’m typically inclined toward traditional

methods, the advent of advanced tools like the

Kairos Aerator offers compelling advantages.

Combining precision with ease, it caters to seasoned

sommeliers and curious newcomers alike—proof

that innovation and tradition can harmoniously

coexist in the world of wine.

Remember, every glass has a story. Aeration helps

you tell it in its finest form.

A Parents’ Guide to Supporting the

Learning of Exceptionally Able Children

By Dr Martina Geromin, Co-Founder at School Beyond Limitations

and published academic author with 35 years in education and research

Giftedness should always be viewed as uniqueness,

and it is important to recognise that every child is

unique and gifted in some way. Spotting if your

child is exceptionally gifted whether academically or

creatively, involves observing several key behaviours

and characteristics. Exceptionally gifted or abled

children often display intense curiosity and a desire

to learn about a wide range of topics. They will

frequently ask probing questions that go way beyond

their age or school year. They might also grasp

new concepts more quickly than other children and

demonstrate advanced problem-solving skills, often

completing tasks and understanding material

much faster than their peers. Often, if a

child is ahead of their classmates

on a regular basis, this can

lead to boredom, emotional

sensitivity and even disruptive

behaviour so it is important

to pin-point why your child

might be behaving this way.

So, as a parent what signs

can you look out for at

home and in school that

might indicate your child is

gifted? Initially, there are five

key areas to consider

COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT

Your child frequently uses advanced

vocabulary and complex sentences when

speaking to others.

You notice they seem to learn quickly and

grasp concepts without you having to repeat the

information again.

You may also notice they have an intense level of

curiosity and always seem to be asking you deep,

probing and intense questions.

EMOTIONAL SENSITIVITY

Exceptionally able children often show heightened

empathy for others and can have a strong sense of

justice, fighting or arguing for what they believe in

regardless of their surroundings.

Able children can also be very emotionally intense

and sensitive around others. You may notice they

seem to cry at the slightest thing or become easily

upset. They are also often deeply affected by world

events and scenarios around them.

Having friendship issues in school or finding it

difficult to connect with other children can also be a

sign that a child is gifted and is struggling to relate to

their peers.

CREATIVITY AND PROBLEM-SOLVING

Gifted children will usually demonstrate original

thinking outside of what is expected for their age,

and they will often suggest innovative solutions to

everyday problems.

You might also notice that your child

prefers to explore multiple approaches

rather than conventional routes, i.e.,

they may not follow instructions

well, or take direction from

others. They will likely want

to find their own approach.

BEHAVIOUR

Does your child seem a bit

obsessive at times? A key

behaviour trait of a gifted

child can include having a

persistent focus on specific

topics of interest, sometimes to

the point of obsession.

You may also notice your child

seems to have high energy levels,

rarely seems tired or has difficulty

adapting to routines, especially if they feel bored.

Boredom is also a key trait for the gifted child. A

child that becomes easily bored in the classroom

and at home will likely showcase lively or disruptive

behaviour.

ASYNCHRONOUS DEVELOPMENT

Probably one of the lesser-known traits of an

exceptionally able child is uneven skill development.

For example, they may display advanced intellectual

abilities way above their peers, yet they also display

age-appropriate emotional behaviours and might have

trouble controlling their reactions and responses to

certain scenarios.

As well as these key areas, parents can also look for


more obvious early achievements in areas such as

reading, math, arts, or musical abilities that surpass

typical developmental milestones for their age.

Although having a gifted child can be challenging,

as a parent it is important to encourage exploration in

areas your child shows an interest in and to consult

your child’s teachers or if appropriate, a professional

psychological expert for formal assessment.

NAVIGATING TRICKY CONVERSATIONS

The danger for an exceptionally able child is that

they don’t feel seen or heard or their disruptive

behaviour or boredom is misinterpreted, which

may undermine the child’s emotional and academic

development. Another significant concern is the

potential for their child to lose interest in learning

due to lack of challenge or engagement which could

lead to disengagement from schoolwork altogether.

Additionally, there is the fear that the child’s

creativity and sense of fulfilment could be stifled. If

the school environment prioritises conformity over

individual exploration, exceptionally able children

may feel pressured to “fit in,” which can dampen

their innovative thinking and intrinsic joy in their

talents.

If you suspect your child is being held back in class

and is ahead of their peers, or you feel they are not

being adequately challenged in school, approaching

the school thoughtfully and collaboratively is

essential. As a parent you want to achieve the best

outcomes for your child, so putting them at the

centre of your discussions but in a diplomatic way,

is crucial. Here are some tips to help navigate these

conversations effectively:

1. SPEAK TO YOUR CHILD’S CLASS TEACHER

OR MENTOR FIRST

The first point of contact should be your child’s class

teacher or mentor, as they have the most day-to-day

interaction with your child. Share your observations

about your child’s talents and experiences and ask for

their advice. Opening the conversation with curiosity

rather than making assumptions, will create a positive

environment for mutual understanding.

2. FOCUS ON YOUR CHILD’S UNIQUENESS, NOT

SUPERIORITY

Emphasise your child’s unique talents without

framing them as being “better” than others. Highlight

that every student has their strengths and that your

goal is to explore ways to nurture your child’s

specific abilities while respecting the diversity within

the class. This perspective prevents fostering a sense

of entitlement or comparison in your child, helping

them appreciate their individuality as part of a

broader community.

3. WORK TOGETHER WITH YOUR SCHOOL TO

FIND CREATIVE SOLUTIONS

Work together with your child’s teacher to identify

ways to challenge them within the classroom setting.

Options might include, differentiated learning

strategies, enrichment projects tailored to your

child’s personal interests, group activities that allow

them to mentor peers or explore advanced concepts

and opportunities for cross-grade learning, such as

joining older students for certain subjects. You could

also look at exploring external opportunities, like

clubs, workshops, or mentorship programmes, to

complement the school’s efforts.

4. ENGAGE A BROADER NETWORK IF

NECESSARY

If your discussion with your child’s teacher highlights

broader challenges, consider involving other

professionals. This might include school counsellors,

gifted education specialists, or external mentors.

Building a network ensures your child’s unique

talents are recognised and nurtured from multiple

perspectives.

5. AVOID COMPARISON CULTURE

It is crucial to help your child understand that their

uniqueness is one of the many forms of talent within

the school. Reinforce the idea that everyone has

something special to offer and that their strengths are

a contribution, not a measure of superiority. Support

your child’s growth in a way that integrates learning

into everyday life without making it a “big deal.”

This mindset fosters a healthy self-concept and an

appreciation of diversity.

6. KEEP TALKING

Follow up regularly with your school to assess

progress and make adjustments as needed for your

child. Maintain a collaborative tone, emphasising

shared goals of supporting your child’s growth

while respecting the overall classroom dynamic. By

focusing on collaboration, creativity, and the unique

nature of all students, you can ensure that your child’s

talents are nurtured in a way that benefits them and

the entire school community.

Bridging the Nutrition Gap: A

Guide For Parents of Picky Eaters

For many parents, mealtimes

with a picky eater can feel like a

daily battle. If your child refuses

vegetables and whole fruit, or

only consumes small amounts

through juices and purees, it’s

natural to worry about their

nutritional intake. “In today’s

busy lifestyles, giving children

all the nutrients they need, every

day, can be challenging enough,

but it is even harder if your child

is a picky eater,” says Melissa

Snover, Founder of Nourished

and qualified nutritionist.

Fortunately, modern supplements

like the Nourished Kids Picky

Eater Stack can help bridge these

gaps. Designed to replenish the

nourishment typically found in

fruits and vegetables, this sugarfree,

3D-printed gummy is packed

with essential vitamins, minerals,

and nutrients to support overall

health and development. But what

can parents realistically expect

after three months of use, and

how can they further supplement

missing fibre and plant-based

phytonutrients? We explore the

science behind this innovative

product and some practical

solutions to ensure your child gets

everything they need for optimal

health.

THE NOURISHED KIDS PICKY

EATER STACK

This carefully curated supplement

contains 11 essential vitamins,

minerals, and nutrients that play

a vital role in a child’s physical,

mental, and emotional well-being.

Each sour cola-flavoured gummy

is designed to deliver key benefits:

1. Vitamin A – Supports normal

vision, immune function, and cell

growth.

2. Vitamin E – Acts as an

antioxidant, protecting cells from

oxidative stress and supporting

skin health.

3. Folic Acid – Aids in healthy cell

and tissue growth, playing a role

in energy production and DNA

formation.

4. Vitamin D3 – Essential for

bone and teeth development and

contributes to mood regulation.

5. Vitamin C – Strengthens the

immune system and supports

collagen production for healthy

skin.

6. Vitamin B12 – Supports red

blood cell formation, energy

metabolism, and neurological

health.

7. Iron – Helps oxygen transport,

cognitive development, and

prevents fatigue.

8. Zinc – Boosts immune function,

supports wound healing, and

contributes to healthy hair, skin,

and nails.

9. CoQ10 – Supports energy

production in cells and acts as a

powerful antioxidant.

10. Lycopene – A naturally

occurring carotenoid with

antioxidant properties that support

heart health.

11. Beetroot Powder – Provides

dietary nitrates that enhance blood

flow and stamina.

“It’s often difficult to introduce

enough fruit and vegetables

into children’s diets, yet it is

so important for them to get

a wide variety, as without

these they are missing out on

many essential nutrients,” adds

Snover. By incorporating this

daily supplement into a child’s

routine, parents can expect to see

noticeable improvements in their

child’s overall health and wellbeing.

WHAT CHANGES CAN

PARENTS EXPECT AFTER

THREE MONTHS?

A child who has been consistently

taking the Nourished Kids Picky

Eater Stack for three months may

exhibit several physical, mental,

and emotional improvements due

to better nutrient intake:

Increased Energy Levels – Iron,

B12, and CoQ10 help enhance

oxygen transport and cellular

energy production, helping

to reduce fatigue and improving

stamina.

Stronger Immunity – Vitamin C,

D3, and Zinc can support immune

function, potentially leading to

fewer colds and infections.

Healthier Skin, Hair, and Nails –

Vitamins A and E can contribute

to clearer skin, stronger nails, and

shinier hair.

Better Bone and Teeth

Development – Vitamin D3 and

iron can aid in bone growth and

help strengthen teeth.

Improved Concentration and

Focus – Iron, B12, and CoQ10

help enhance brain oxygen supply,

supporting better cognitive

function and learning.

Mood Stability and Emotional

Regulation – Vitamin D3

and folic acid help influence

neurotransmitters, potentially

reducing irritability and mood

swings.

More Consistent Energy Levels

– With iron and B vitamins

preventing deficiencies, mood

fluctuations related to energy dips

may become less frequent.

“You can always get a little extra


Melissa Snover is the founder of Nourished who make personalised

sugar-free vitamin stacks with patented 3D technology

support with the Nourished Kids

Picky Eater Stack, designed

to help replenish some of the

essential nourishments found in

fruits and vegetables,” Snover

suggests. While this supplement

significantly boosts essential

nutrients, it does not fully replace

the diverse benefits of whole

fruits and vegetables—especially

dietary fibre and plant-based

phytonutrients. So how can

parents further close the gap?

If your child refuses vegetables

and whole fruit, here are some

practical suggestions on how to

introduce fibre and phytonutrients

in a way they’ll accept:

FIBRE-RICH SOLUTIONS FOR

PICKY EATERS

1. Smoothies with Hidden Fibre

– Blend bananas, berries, or

mango with oat bran, chia seeds,

flaxseeds, or psyllium husk. A

small amount of nut butter or

vanilla yoghurt can help mask

textures.

2. Fibre-Fortified Foods – Opt

for cereals, pasta, and bread with

added fibre or wholegrain blends.

3. Powdered Fibre Supplements –

Inulin, acacia fibre, or prebiotic

fibre powders mix easily into

drinks, porridge, or yoghurt.

4. Legume-Based Crisps or Pasta

– Chickpea, lentil, or black beanbased

products add fibre without a

vegetable taste.

PHYTONUTRIENT-RICH

SOLUTIONS FOR PICKY

EATERS

1. Superfood Powders – Berry or

greens powders (like baobab, acai,

or spirulina) can be mixed into

juices, yoghurts, or homemade

lollies.

2. Freeze-Dried Fruit & Veggie

Crisps – More palatable due to

their crunch and mild flavour.

3. Flavoured Probiotic Drinks –

Kefir or fortified yoghurts often

contain plant polyphenols.

4. Flavoured Nut Butter Blends –

Some brands incorporate cacao,

dates, or hidden veggies while

tasting like a treat.

By combining innovative

supplements like the Nourished

Kids Picky Eater Stack with

these smart dietary strategies,

parents can ensure their child gets

the essential nutrition they need

without the mealtime battles.

NOURISHED KIDS PICKY

EATER STACK

The Nourished Kids Picky

Eater Stack is designed to help

replenish the nourishments

of those missed out fruits and

vegetables. This unique blend

is packed with 11 essential

vitamins, minerals and

nutrients. Each pack contains

Parents have new

responsibilities to help

their children use AI

responsibly and safely

According to a report from the

National Literacy Trust, 77.1

percent of UK students aged 13

to 18 used generative AI in 2024.

This increased from just 37.1

percent compared to the previous

year. Love it or loath it, AI is here

to stay, and its use in schools is

only going to increase as this new

technology advances and matures.

New AI applications come to

market everyday as corporate

giants and entrepreneurs alike

look to profit from innovation and

use AI to improve efficiency and

add value to their enterprise.

Children and young people

increasingly have access to

these powerful — and often

untested and little-understood—

technologies at home and in

school. Busy parents, teachers,

and school leaders have new

responsibilities to help their

children use AI responsibly and

safely. To keep young people

safe while they learn new digital

literacy skills for the Age of

AI, we must be transparent by

explaining the technology’s

benefits and limitations.

Here are my top five tips for

using AI in learning ethically and

effectively.

1. BE CAUTIOUS

Firstly, it sounds simple, but

the most important thing is

to remind your children to be

careful when using AI. Although

the technology is already in

widespread use, it is still new,

learning and evolving every

day. Ensure your children are

mindful of privacy; they should

not share personally identifiable

information. As everyone must

learn these days, if a service is

free, then we (information about

us) is the product and the price we

pay. Anything you or your child

share with public AI, such as your

address or financial information,

might be stored, used, and

potentially accessed and used by

others.

2. STAY HONEST &

ENCOURAGE YOUR CHILD TO

DO THE SAME

Learning how to act with integrity

is a life lesson that has new

dimensions in a world filled with

generative AI. Talk with your

children about how they are using

AI in their schoolwork. Learn

about school and exam board

policies for academic honesty and

the use of generative AI. Don’t

let AI undercut learning. Explore

what’s possible together, exploring

how AI can support learning

diversity, boost creativity, and

personalise learning. Discuss with

your child’s teachers how they

are ensuring that assessments are

authentic, effective, and fair. If

your child simply passes on their

work to AI, they fail themselves

and cheat the learning process.

Also, keep in mind that many AI

technologies have user agreements

that limit their use by children and


younger teenagers.

3. APPLY CRITICAL THINKING

AI accelerates the 21st century’s demand for critical

thinkers. Help your child discover that AI tools often

get it wrong, even if the answer sounds correct or

convincing. To vastly oversimplify an amazing new

technology, AI works by solving credibly complicated

statistics problems very quickly – it can not generate

new ideas and often presents out of date or factually

incorrect information. It also struggles to understand

context, background information, relationships,

and ethics. Help your children learn how to identify

synthetic media (AI generated images, audio,

and video) and be critical consumers of online

information. Individuals and societies will be

grappling even more with important questions about

what is real and what is true.

4. REMEMBER WHAT IT MEANS TO BE

‘HUMAN’

AI can be dangerous, even deadly. ‘Killer robots’

are still in the realm of science fiction, but AI has

already led to tragedy for vulnerable young people.

Please help your children understand that AI is

not human, and digital friends can be dangerous

and untrustworthy advisors. AI can mimic human

emotions, but technology sometimes escapes

from—or is not sufficiently encoded with—a moral

compass. In many case, AI technology (like other

online applications) is trying to keep you online

so that its designers can develop lucrative income

streams from data mining and advertising. And if

you are developing educational or popular resources

powered by AI, make sure you are keeping humans in

the loop.

5. EMBRACE THE TECHNOLOGY

Finally, my last tip is to experiment with these

new technologies and truly embrace the amazing

resources that generative AI can unleash for

education, business, and personal life. AI is here to

stay, with billions being invested in ways to increase

automation, creativity, and efficiency. Do not shy

away from AI. Explore it together with your family,

understand how it works, experiment with cautious

optimism, learn to use it responsibly to your child’s

advantage. Become an expert at prompt engineering.

Improve your world language skills. Save time at

work and in domestic administration that you can

invest in maintaining loving relationships with your

children and having fun with your family. When it

comes to AI, that’s the best use of all.

TWINPALMS BANGTAO

PHUKET TENTED RESORT

An brand new addition to Thailand’s luxury hospitality scene that redefines romantic tropical getaways

Located on the pristine sands of Bangtao Beach, this adultsonly

resort merges opulence with nature, creating a unique

luxury experience for couples looking for an idyllic escape


For couples in search of an idyllic, intimate getaway,

the newly opened Twinpalms Bangtao Phuket

Tented Resort – A Small Luxury Hotel of the World

– redefines romantic luxury on Thailand’s exquisite

Andaman coastline, just an hour flight from Bangkok.

Nestled along the serene, powdery white sands of

Bangtao Beach, this adults-only sanctuary is a haven

of bespoke indulgence, merging the nostalgic charm

of classic tropical exploration with modern opulence.

LUXURY IN HARMONY WITH NATURE

Set against the backdrop of the Andaman Sea, the

Twinpalms Bangtao Phuket Tented Resort is a haven

of luxurious tented accommodations that blend the

elegance of a bygone era with modern indulgences.

Designed by award-winning architect Martin Palleros

of Tierra Design, the 28 luxury tents are cocooned

within lush gardens or perched directly on the beach,

offering the ultimate blend of privacy and adventure.

Each tent features teak furnishings, soft neutral

tones, earthy textures and airy interiors that flow

seamlessly into the natural surroundings. Couples can

folding. Evenings come alive around a crackling

campfire, where expertly crafted cocktails set the

stage for deep conversation under a starlit sky.

For adventurous spirits, private Andaman cruises

offer a chance to explore Phuket’s crystal-clear

waters, vibrant reefs and hidden coves. Guests can

nearby islands of Phuket on a selection of prestigious
