THE OPENING:
Elevate
Founded by former private equity professional Julia Baldet, Elevate was born out of her corporate burnout and frustration with the city’s so-called ‘healthy’ drink options, many of which are loaded with sugar and light on real nutritional substance. Having recently opened in Bank, in The City, the wellness-lab-inspired space is one for busy professionals looking for convenience without compromise. Everything on the menu has been designed in collaboration with a nutritionist and focuses on functional benefits – think digestion, muscle recovery and sustained energy – all served with full transparency.

THE APP:
Cleo
Cleo is an AI-powered financial assistant and money management app launching in the UK at the end of the month. Founded in London, the business has so far made 100% of its revenue in the US, where it’s won over millions of Gen Z and Millennial users. Now returning home in early 2026, Cleo will be available to UK consumers to help them manage their money. Instead of stale dashboards and long statements from big banks, Cleo uses witty “roasts” and playful nudges that make financial coaching stick. She steps in in real time to help people plan around payday, stay ahead of bills, spot risky spending patterns, avoid fees and gradually build better long-term habits.

THE TRAVEL HACK:
Sleepover By Airport Dimensions
For frequent flyers and long-haul travellers, Sleepover by Airport Dimensions is a genuinely smart new addition to the airport experience. Designed for rest and recovery on the go, the pay-by-the-hour sleep stations offer private pods or cabins, with optional extras like showers and personalised wake-up calls – ideal for long layovers or awkward connections. Now open at Dubai International, Hamad International (Doha) and Jorge Chávez International (Lima), Sleepover launched in the UAE in late 2025 and feels particularly relevant for wellness-focused travellers who want to arrive refreshed rather than frazzled.

THE COLLECTIVE:
In-House HQ
Designed to fill a long-overlooked gap in the industry, In-House HQ is a new collective created specifically for in-house communications and PR professionals. Intending to put an end to the isolation many experience outside agency life, it offers a space to connect, share ideas and support one another – whether you’re navigating the transition from agency roles, working within small teams or trying to demonstrate the value of PR internally. Launching with an event in Manchester on 5th February (with a London date to follow later in the month), the collective will host honest conversations, panel discussions and fireside chats, alongside more informal meet-ups via a growing WhatsApp community.

THE BOOK:
Almost Reckless By Amy Smilovic
In Almost Reckless: A Creative and Pragmatic Approach to Taking Risks, Tibi founder Amy Smilovic makes a compelling case for redefining success on your own terms. Drawing on her experience building a $70m fashion brand – and then deliberately rejecting the conventional playbook – she explores the power of intuition, principles and taking smart risks. Practical, honest and refreshingly anti-hype, it’s an essential read for anyone looking to build a career or business that feels genuinely aligned.
