Luxury accessories from fire-hoses
In 2005, when the Founders of Elvis & Kresse learned that London's damaged decommissioned fire-hoses were headed to landfill, they set up their operation to save and recycle them. For over a decade none of London’s fire-hoses have gone to landfill and over 300 tonnes of material has been reclaimed.  In 2017 the Burberry Foundation partnered with Elvis & Kresse to tackle the even greater global problem of leather waste. This Five-year partnership is resulting in 120 tonnes of leather off-cuts from Burberry being re-crafted into new luxury items, designed and sold by Elvis & Kresse. https://www.elvisandkresse.com/pages/about-us-2

Sell2Dealers, your digital marketplace to get more value on used vehicles
COVID accelerated semiconductor constraints on vehicle production, increasing prices and wait times. According to Moody's Analytics, in 2021 used car prices jumped 21 percent, with an additional 3.6 percent increase expected this year. As the used cars market boomed and the automotive sector becomes ripe for digitisation, Desmond Sanborn launched Sell2Dealers – a digital automotive marketplace that allows Australians to sell used cars, motorbikes or trucks to registered dealers without buyers’ or sellers’ premium. Fast, low touch and affordable, Australians can now sell vehicles at higher prices, while dealers access greater variety and a new online platform to sell. https://sell2dealers.com.au/
