Working with educational institutes isn't just about experience for the students - it's about challenging yourself also!

Loving the work we are doing with University of Edinburgh, School of Mathematics and really excited at some of the things we will be doing together in the future!

We are delighted to be working with THRIFT on developing technology to simplify the online re-selling process; investigating what items are worth and how likely they are to sell. THRIFT will help people easily sell their unwanted items online, reducing waste and freeing up cash that’s tied up in their “stuff”.

Thank you to Mark O’Hara for this exciting opportunity and supporting the students with this project.
