“I’m convinced that about half of what separates the successful entrepreneurs from the non-successful ones is pure perseverance.”

“Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower.”

Proof of Genuine Need for the iLotion

Although this advert has been produced in a comical manner it emphasises the genuine need for a product which enables the user to apply their own suncream.

An idea for a similar product was mentioned in an episode of the BBC Show The Apprentice. Unfortunately for that team they ignored the team member who raised the idea which would have surely secured them a win in that task.

Material Watch: Plytube

Plytube is a new way of tubing wood using the similar principal of making paper tube but with some more process to harden the wooden tube which I made. Plytube is accurate wooden tube, very light but strong, long lasting as for the value of plywood and acceptable with all kinds of tooling and finishing for wood. The diameter, thickness, colour, type of wood and even the section of the shape will be able to be customized. Ultimately, it could also be used for architectural material as well as for life goods.

SmartBox By Cobra Limited

Say hello to Smartbox

Meet Smartbox, the little ‘Pay-How-You-Drive’ box that makes our Young Driver Insurance a little bit different. Smartbox was created by Cobra Limited – experienced in-car technology specialists. When you take out a policy with us one of their network of professional installers will fit Smartbox into your car. You arrange an appointment when you buy your insurance and are sent an email or text reminder close to the time. There’s no need to worry though, it’s not a big job – in more ways than one…

Smartbox is small and compact.
It’s installed out of sight inside your vehicle.
It won’t interfere with the performance of your car in any way or affect the manufacturer’s warranty.
It’s compatible with most makes/types of car. We’ll inform you in advance if Smartbox cannot be fitted to your car.
It collects driving data and sends it to your online dashboard, which helps us review your premium.
Our customer promise means there are strict conditions on what we can and can’t do with the collected data. Smartbox is a little gadget, not big brother!
