In this issue we meet a host of altruistic movers and shakers, such as Professor Stefan Allesch-Taylor CBE who discusses the modern way of doing business, focused on emotional intelligence, shared values, respect, responsibility and social impact.

We also talk to the three founders of London’s hottest new members’ club, who share a similar view as they talk about The Conduit, which has a name that perfectly describes its mission – to use its community of well-connected members as a pipeline for social change.

Elsewhere in this issue we meet the founders of six ventures in various stages of development, who never take no for an answer and who show that a light bulb moment can turn a simple idea into a funded and functioning undertaking.

Finally, alongside all this energy and goodwill, we also ensure there are sybaritic suggestions for yourself and your loved ones to bring tidings of hedonistic comfort and joy, from vintage champagne to luxurious leather, women’s tuxedo suits to men’s velvet jackets.

We hope you enjoy the issue.
