Half of adults want more effort from partners on Valentine’s Day

0

Valentine’s Day has been dubbed a waste of money with novelty mugs and cheap underwear amongst the worst presents.

More than half of the 2,015 adults polled, said their partner should make more effort, rather than splurge on presents they don’t even want.

Respondents reported the rubbish gifts they had received included ‘wrong’ perfume, socks, candles and even, a car mat.

But while most said the day of lovers is a waste of time, one in three said they’d be gutted if their better half did nothing to celebrate.

Travel together

The research by Railcard.co.uk, found that one in five said a trip away would be the best romantic gesture with the Lake District top destination in the UK.

Relationship expert and coach, Sarah Louise Ryan, said: “Couples who travel together often end up more fulfilled and happier in their relationship.

“There are many reasons for this; inclusive of the fact it encourages communication and can deepen feelings of commitment as they plan their trips ahead of time, looking towards the future.

“Travel allows more opportunities for romance and time outside of the day-to-day routine, meaning romantic sparks can be reignited.

“Where flowers and chocolates can play a part, this Valentine’s Day I’d encourage all couples to carve out some time to book and experience a romantic getaway, whether for a day trip or a long weekend.”

The study also found 36% had considered a trip together as a way to rekindle a floundering relationship.

Unusual Group Launches to Put People Before AI in New Agency Growth Model

0

Amid global debates over the rise—and possible overvaluation—of artificial intelligence, two UK entrepreneurs are doubling down on a people-first philosophy to redefine business growth.

Unusual Group, co-founded by Luke Tobin and Ali Newton-Temperley, enters the market as a forward-thinking “super-structure” built to support founder-led agencies through every phase of their journey—from scaling up to strategic exit. It unites consultancy, capital access, M&A guidance, and back-office systems, offering founders the benefits of scale without losing their autonomy.

The initiative was inspired by the idea that growth and exit planning are inseparable. Tobin, who successfully guided Digital Ethos to an eight-figure exit, collaborated with Newton-Temperley, an international strategist and the author of Agency Exits, after discovering they shared the same mission from differing angles.

“Growth without exit planning leaves value on the table, and exit planning without growth will fail,” Ali Newton-Temperley said.

Together with Daniel Rose and Paul Allen, they’ve built a “super-structure” model that combines consultancy, investment, M&A support and operational infrastructure, giving independent founders access to the same advantages as major holding groups, without losing control.

The launch of Unusual Group comes amid a 34% year-on-year drop in agency M&A activity (Trading View) in the first half of 2025, even as AI valuations soared to unprecedented heights – OpenAI at $500 billion and Anthropic at $170 billion. Some investors, like veteran fund manager James Anderson, have compared today’s AI frenzy to the dot-com bubble.

Luke Tobin, CEO and serial exit specialist said: “AI can supercharge tactical execution, but strategic thinking, cultural intuition, and relationship capital remain irreplaceable.”

Unusual Group’s strategy focuses on acquiring minority stakes in standout founder-led agencies and supporting them with capital, infrastructure, and expertise, helping them scale and prepare for higher value future exits.

Positioning itself as a new category in the agency landscape, Unusual Group is a modern holding company built for the age of AI. Members gain access to institutional-grade finance, legal, HR, and operations support, along with proven scale-to-sale playbooks and peer collaboration. Agencies can pursue three exit paths, trade sale, private equity roll-up, or IPO, all designed to maximise founder outcomes.

“Growth is harder, capital is tighter, and founders need more support than ever,” Tobin added. “Our model gives them leverage without losing independence.”

As AI transforms the industry, Unusual Group stands for a more balanced approach, one that blends technology with human ingenuity.

For agencies not yet ready to join the group, Agency Growth Pad by Unusual Group offers tailored consultancy to support early-stage scaling with whether or not they have the intention to sell one day.

New Platform Green Quote Makes Switching to Renewable Heating Simple and Affordable

A new UK-based service, Green Quote, has been launched to simplify the process of moving to renewable heating systems by linking homeowners with vetted local installers and guiding them through available government support schemes.

Backed by the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, which offers grants of up to £7,500, Green Quote enables users to take advantage of Air Source Heat Pump (ASHP) technology without the confusion or risk of unreliable contractors.

Founded by eco-sector entrepreneur Jack Purdie in Southampton, Green Quote operates as an impartial intermediary between homeowners and approved installation experts, ensuring every connection is verified for quality and compliance.

The free online tool requires only a postcode and short questionnaire, allowing homeowners to be matched with trusted installers within 24 hours. Green Quote’s mission is to empower households to adopt renewable energy confidently, cutting costs and carbon emissions at the same time.

“People are hearing all sorts of things about heat pumps, that they’re too expensive, that they don’t work in UK weather, that it’s not worth the hassle,” said Jack Purdie, founder of Green Quote. “But the truth is, the technology has evolved massively. With the right installer and the government’s £7,500 grant, a heat pump can be one of the smartest investments you can make for your home.”

As energy prices continue to fluctuate, many UK homeowners are still unsure where to start when it comes to modernising their heating systems. Despite government incentives, uptake of the Boiler Upgrade Scheme has lagged behind expectations, largely due to confusion around eligibility and a lack of trusted guidance.

Green Quote aims to change that by offering clear information, trusted local connections, and a fast route to funding.

“People want to lower their bills and do their bit for the environment, but they’re put off by all the mixed messages,” added Purdie. “Go Green Quote gives homeowners a single, trusted place to find the right information, the right funding, and the right installer, all in one go.”

Green Quote partners only with verified and reputable installers across the UK, ensuring that each homeowner is connected with a company that meets strict quality and service standards.

The platform also serves as a source of education, helping homeowners understand how modern heat pumps work, why the technology is now far more reliable, and how to make the most of government support.

How it works

 1. Visit www.gogreenquote.com

 2. Enter your postcode and answer a few simple questions

 3. Get matched with a trusted local installer, usually within 24 hours

 4. Learn if your home qualifies for up to £7,500 in government funding

The service is free to use, with no obligation, and aims to give homeowners clarity and confidence in a sector that’s often felt confusing or inconsistent.

Wextons Emerges from Wentworth Rebrand with Focus on Tower Hamlets Guaranteed Rent

0

An established East London letting agency, serving Tower Hamlets since 2006, has rebranded as Wextons letting agents. The company now positions itself as the borough’s leading guaranteed rent specialist, covering E1, E2, E3, and E14, with properties ranging from Elizabeth Line Zone 2 stations to the DLR across the Isle of Dogs.

The launch of their new website, wextons.co.uk, comes at a time of rising rental demand in Tower Hamlets. Many landlords are seeking professional management solutions in preparation for the Renters’ Rights Bill, expected to take effect in early 2026.

Previously, Wextons’ services were not fully showcased online. The refreshed website now prominently features their guaranteed rent offering, ensuring landlords across Tower Hamlets can easily access information about their specialist services.

Features of Wextons’ guaranteed rent service

  • Fully guaranteed rent for landlords – Wextons offer fully guaranteed, fixed rental income which is paid on time to landlords every month.  
  • Private tenant base – Wextons only rent to fully vetted, professional tenants, rather than renting to tenants under council schemes. 
  • 24/7 Property management & upkeep – Their service includes complete property management, from regular maintenance to 24/7 emergency callouts and internal property repairs.  
  • 3 Months’ rent paid in advance – Landlords receive 3 months’ rent in advance from Wextons for each of their properties let under the scheme. 
  • 1-5 Year leasing terms – Landlords can choose to lease their property to Wextons’ guaranteed rent service for between 1-5 years. 
  • Void period coverage – Wextons cover all void periods so landlords get their rent in full even if the property is empty.
  • Optimum rent rates & ROI – Wextons commit to beating any rent that landlords have been offered, subject to demand, ensuring a robust income. 

Landlords can find out more about Wextons’ rent guarantee service and what it involves here

As part of their repositioning, Wextons aims to reach a clearly defined base of landlords who will benefit most from their services. Their new website and guaranteed rent service aims to reach: 

  • First-time landlords who need significant guidance to help them navigate the rental market in East London as regulations tighten, and prefer professional oversight. 
  • Portfolio landlords and investors managing multiple properties across areas like Canary Wharf, Shoreditch, and Bethnal Green who want to attain a stable, long-term income across multiple units.
  • Build-to-rent developers focused on build-to-rent projects, who need to fill their units with reliable, long-term tenants and receive a guaranteed income (a recent example being the Elektron Tower development). 
  • HMO landlords who require specialist property management solutions and compliance guidance alongside a reliable rent guarantee service. 
  • Overseas landlords who intend to keep letting their properties for a steady income, but need to fully entrust management to a professional letting agent due to their location. 

Landlords should start with an in-person or online valuation here, kick-starting the process for joining Wextons’ guaranteed rent scheme. 

Eames Fine Art to Host Paul Catherall’s ‘Less Is More’ Exhibition This Autumn

Eames Fine Art Gallery is set to present Paul Catherall: Less Is More, a new solo exhibition running from 15 October to 9 November, marking the celebrated printmaker’s exploration of restraint and precision in design.

The show opens with a private viewing on Wednesday 15 October, from 6.00 to 8.30pm, at the gallery’s Bermondsey Street space. Attendees will be welcomed with drinks and the chance to meet Paul Catherall while experiencing his latest series of linocut prints for the first time.

With his distinct visual language of crisp geometry and rich tonal balance, Paul Catherall has long been recognised for capturing the spirit of Britain’s architectural icons. His works bridge technical craftsmanship with emotional depth, creating prints that resonate with both art enthusiasts and design lovers.

In Less Is More, Catherall re-engages with the minimalist ethos that has defined his career. The new works embody a focus on reduction and precision, expressing the artist’s belief that true power lies in simplicity.

“This show marks a return to a mantra I’ve found myself using time and again over the years,” said Paul Catherall. “To distil a subject to its very essence without unnecessary embellishment – that’s when a print truly comes alive.”

Among the highlights of the exhibition are new and reimagined prints of Battersea Power Station, St. Paul’s Cathedral, and the BT Tower, as well as fresh interpretations of Victor Pasmore’s Apollo Pavilion and a serene series of birch tree compositions.

Over the years, Catherall has collaborated with major names including Transport for London, British Airways, Marks & Spencer, Faber & Faber, and publishing houses such as Bloomsbury and HarperCollins. His pieces are held in prominent public and private collections, including the Southbank Centre and the Royal Shakespeare Society.

Hailing from Coventry and now based in London, Catherall continues to draw influence from the post-war modernist and Brutalist architecture of his upbringing, alongside inspiration from artists such as Edward McKnight Kauffer, Tom Purvis, Cézanne, and Sickert.

Collectors purchasing within the first week will be invited to an exclusive event at the gallery, where Catherall will discuss the ideas, inspirations, and process behind his latest collection.

Art Division Introduces ‘Amplify’, an AI Marketing Platform Designed for UK Estate Agents

0

Art Division, a leading UK web design and digital marketing agency, has unveiled Amplify, an AI-driven platform created specifically for estate and letting agents. The new solution enables users to instantly produce SEO-friendly blogs, social media updates, and branded newsletters, streamlining content creation while cutting both time and costs.

Amplify serves as an integrated system that automates key areas of marketing output. Exclusively available to clients with websites built by Art Division, the platform operates as a seamless ‘bolt-on’ enhancement to the company’s existing website services.

By connecting directly with an agent’s website, Amplify centralises the management of digital marketing activity—allowing users to create, edit, and publish blog content, social media posts, and email newsletters from a single, user-friendly dashboard.

“We created Amplify to solve three common challenges our clients face: lack of time, lack of content, and lack of consistency,” said Nelly Berova, Managing Director of Art Division. “This plan combines smart automation and AI technology to reduce what used to take hours each week into just a few minutes of your time each month – while still delivering a strong, consistent marketing presence.”

Key features of the new Amplify product include: 

AI-powered blog creation. Agents can create SEO-friendly blog posts on any property topic in 60 seconds or less at a length of around 1000 words using Amplify. They can select from a range of personas, from sellers and landlords to tenants and buyers, with unique parameters ensuring each article is tailored to their needs. 

Agents can also generate sales and lettings market updates for their chosen area, quickly highlighting any recent market changes, trends or significant stats. These blogs are directly pushed into a post draft in the WordPress CMS, with an SEO-focused title, URL and meta description – making it quick and easy to publish immediately.  

Amplify also allows agents to search for and select images from a range of free image libraries, and then automatically resizes, compresses and adds alt tags to them according to the website’s requirements.

Social media post automation. When a new blog post, property listing, testimonial or a five-star Google review is added to the website, Amplify automatically generates and pushes a social post across the agent’s connected channels in a format which suits their persona and branding. A typical social media post may take 10 minutes to craft, Amplify makes it almost instantaneous. 

Branded e-newsletters. Amplify also automates newsletter creation, collating the most recent blogs, property listings and 4/5-star reviews into a professionally branded, carefully structured email. This tool automatically sends the newsletter to the agent’s contact list each month, with new contacts who enquire on the website added automatically to the list.  

Agents can even provide additional contacts manually, whom they may have acquired elsewhere. This task can typically take 1 hour or more while content is collated manually, but using Amplify’s newsletter automation software, this is done instantly behind the scenes.  

Amplify has several advantages over standard AI chatbots. It saves time because it is directly plugged into the agent’s WordPress CMS, able to generate blog posts and instantly detect changes like new reviews or properties being added with 100% accuracy. This saves more time than an AI model; it detects web updates with far greater accuracy, has full access to the agent’s contact database, and is easy to modify because it sits within the existing web structure.  

In addition, Art Division have devised a specialist prompt structure ‘under the hood’ to ensure that the language, tone, topics, data and direction of all AI blog posts are suited to estate agents specifically.

“Many agents know they need to be consistent online, but they simply don’t have the time or resources to do it all. Amplify lifts that burden. It’s cost-effective, incredibly efficient, and designed with the property market in mind.” – Nelly Berova, managing director.

The Amplify plan is currently available at an introductory price of £265 per month. This offer is open to the first 10 agents who sign up, with existing clients able to upgrade at this rate until the end of the year – agents can make enquiries here

Jewson Croydon sponsors new trail at Quest Primary School

Jewson Croydon has proudly sponsored a new playground installation at Quest Primary School, helping to enhance physical development, encourage teamwork and promote daily exercise.

The brand new trim trail is a modular outdoor structure that acts as a key addition to the school’s OPAL (Outdoor Play and Learning) programme. It builds on other recent playground improvements which ensure all pupils at the school have access to enriching outdoor experiences. 

OPAL is particularly meaningful for children with special educational needs and those from disadvantaged backgrounds.

The installation was fully funded by leading UK builders merchant Jewson, as part of its community outreach strategy.

Jo Stawman, Principal of Quest Primary, said: “We are hugely grateful to Jewson for sponsoring our new trim trail. The children are buzzing with excitement at being able to have such a high-quality piece of equipment available to them during our OPAL playtimes and lunchtimes. It’s supporting them to develop their gross motor skills, resilience, and determination, as well as providing plenty of fun, laughter, and happy smiles!”

Kenny Hope, Regional Director at Jewson, said: “We are always looking for ways to support the communities around our branches and this seemed like the perfect opportunity to give something back to a school which is looking to truly enhance the experiences of its pupils.

The new trim trail looks fantastic and I’m sure it will provide enrichment for local schoolchildren for many years to come.”

oklanzarote.com unveils eco-excursions to protect Lanzarote’s ecosystems

0

oklanzarote.com has launched an inspiring range of guided eco-tours that highlight Lanzarote’s dramatic scenery while helping to preserve the island’s delicate ecosystems.

A leader in sustainable tourism, Lanzarote continues to push for responsible travel. Earlier this year, the island’s Cabildo and tourist board introduced a new campaign designed to promote ethical tourism that safeguards natural resources and enhances the wellbeing of local communities.

This commitment to sustainability will be in the spotlight on 2 July 2025, when Lanzarote hosts the 30th anniversary edition of the World Charter for Sustainable Tourism at the world-famous Jameos del Agua – further confirming its status as a global role model for eco-conscious travel.

The new tours from oklanzarote.com include small-group walks across volcanic routes, easing strain on busy paths, as well as eco-cultural trips that explore the island’s geological heritage and the enduring influence of artist and architect César Manrique.

Marine eco-tours also follow strict conservation rules set by the Chinijo Archipelago Marine Reserve, while supporting the island’s economy by collaborating with local family-run restaurants, boutique wineries and specialist guides.

British travellers can now experience Lanzarote’s natural wonders in ways that are not only memorable but also sustainable.

While the island attracted over 3.2 million visitors in 2024, local authorities have taken steps to manage tourism growth. Among these efforts is a pilot scheme introducing shuttle buses to the Volcanoes Natural Park to limit car use during busy periods – improving sustainable access to Timanfaya and nearby natural sites.

“Our new eco-tours allow visitors to enjoy Lanzarote in a way that safeguards its volcanic and marine heritage,” said Luis Manzano, founder of oklanzarote.com.

“British visitors are increasingly looking for holidays that combine sunshine with purpose. Lanzarote now offers not just beaches and resorts, but also eco-experiences that align with the values of today’s responsible traveller.

“We want travellers to experience the island’s magic while ensuring it remains unspoilt for generations to come.”

HWPL World Peace Summit Showcases Global Advancements in Peacebuilding

0

Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light (HWPL), the international peace NGO, has concluded its 11th HWPL World Peace Summit in Cheongju, welcoming 800 global leaders to highlight its achievements and present its vision for peace. The summit placed strong emphasis on strengthening cooperation between governments, civil society, and international organisations to advance peacebuilding efforts worldwide.

This year’s gathering underscored progress in three pivotal areas. In international law, HWPL’s Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War (DPCW) gained new momentum as the Latin American and Caribbean Parliament (PARLATINO), alongside 16 other parliamentary and governmental bodies, adopted resolutions in support of the framework.

Significant developments in peace education were also spotlighted. Zambia’s Ministry of Education has introduced HWPL’s Peace Education programme to all schools in its capital, Lusaka, with plans to expand nationwide. Mongolia has similarly incorporated the programme into its own educational system.

In the field of interfaith dialogue, the summit announced the establishment of the Solidarity of Religions’ Peace Committee (SRPC). Since 2023, HWPL’s International Religious Peace Academy has been operating as an interfaith learning initiative and has received formal recognition in multiple countries as a platform for leaders and citizens to engage in peace-focused dialogue.

Chairman Lee Man-hee of HWPL stressed the urgency of global cooperation, stating, “Conflict can never be good. Only the achievement of peace is truly good. If we fail to establish a peaceful world in our time, we will burden future generations with conflict. What we leave behind must be a world of peace, not one of conflict. The work before us today is to commit ourselves to acts of goodness.”

Offering his congratulations, the former President of Croatia, H.E. Ivo Josipović, remarked, “all of us must be aware that our activity for banning war throughout the world is more important now than ever,” highlighting that this year’s milestones demonstrate humanity’s capacity to work towards lasting peace.

The summit also addressed pathways for peaceful Korean reunification and reported a surge in HWPL’s global membership, which now exceeds 580,000. Following the main proceedings in Cheongju, satellite events will continue across 78 cities worldwide, including in Europe and the UK, drawing over 15,000 leaders to further discussions on peacebuilding strategies throughout October.

Terraforming: Mapping Space Through Pigment – A Frieze Week exhibition in London

0

Wari Art, in collaboration with CM Art Advisory, announces the launch of Terraforming: Mapping Space Through Pigment – International Artists Reimagining London, a striking exhibition that unites five international artists whose creative practices use pigment, texture, and material to construct vivid, alternative geographies.

Opening during Frieze Week, the exhibition highlights the power of colour as a radical statement of presence and belonging. By transforming London’s typically muted palette, the artists collectively reimagine the city through the lens of global migration and cultural convergence.

“These artists transform pigment into geography, making color not only a material but also a vessel for memory, change, and belonging. Their works trace conceptual terrains where global identities converge and resonate.” said curator and art advisor, Celeste Melgar.

Laura Grinberga, Acclimatising, 2024, Acrylic on Canvas 29 x 49 cm

The exhibition features new and recent works by Laura Grinberga (Latvia), Bissy Riva (Peru/Italy/USA/Kenya), Mariella Smilas (Portugal), Nelson Hernández (Chile), and Viktoryia Shydlouskaya Dijk (Belarus/Netherlands). 

Each artist weaves fragments of memory, displacement, and cultural hybridity into luminous cartographies of place, mapping their place in the citythrough pigment rather than boundaries. 

Located just minutes from the British Museum, an institution long associated with framing cultural identities through collected artefacts, Terraforming: Mapping Space Through Pigment. asserts a contemporary counterpoint. 

Where the museum reflects on the past, this exhibition situates London’s present: a pluralistic, multicultural city shaped by artistic migration, even as political rhetoric turns increasingly hostile to difference.

As Selects, each artist will benefit from a tailored six-month program that includes press features, curated exhibitions, studio visits, collector introductions, personalized mentorship, and ongoing visibility across our expansive network. 

The exhibit invites viewers to imagine pigment as geography itself, prompting reflection on how the forms of the cities it colours might transform. This is the central line of inquiry guiding the show.

Opening to the public from 16–19 October, with private viewings on the 16th, the presentation brings together artists from the inaugural Wari X CM Art Advisory Selects cohort. Their work, evocative and immersive, calls out to be experienced in person.

The exhibition also marks a significant moment for the program, which operates in six-month cycles to provide tailored support for emerging talents navigating the evolving landscape of the art world.

Nelson Hernandez, 2025, Oil on Canvas, 170 x 190 cm

As part of Selects, each artist receives a dedicated program that encompasses press features, curated exhibitions, studio visits, introductions to collectors, personalized mentorship, and sustained visibility across an expansive network.

It shows the following artists:

  • Laura Grinberga, a textile-based artist that creates environments which absorb cultural memory and reframe the interactions and consciousness presence in space. 
  • Bissy Riva merges textiles and painting to channel sensory landscapes from her travels across Peru, Italy, Kenya, and the United States. 
  • Mariella Smilas transforms language and memory into delicate painted palimpsests. 
  • Nelson Hernández constructs layered pictorial vocabularies from migration and cultural intersection, bridging Chile with London. 
  • Viktoryia Shydlouskaya Dijk distills fleeting impressions of the self in space and place into vibrant pigment and gestural abstraction. 

Together, their works transform London’s famed greyness into a resonant landscape of colour—where cultural identities overlap, collide, and ultimately enliven the city’s fabric.
