In the U.K. Sal’s School Shoes Fund distributes new school shoes and PE trainers to school children in need. Last year over 30,000 pairs were given out. The charity now also operates 11 Sal’s shoes shops’ nationwide, in existing community spaces, where low income families can retain their sense of dignity, enjoy a shopping experience and exercise choice, without having to pay for the footwear they need. As Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Sal’s Shoes, Camilla was awarded and OBE in the New Years Honours for services to Young People, to Education and to the Environment.

After finishing his A levels at Caterham, Adam attended Brunel University and it was whilst he was still at university that he founded his first business, iChooseRadio, which was a forerunner to Spotify and the first company to steam live music from the Glastonbury Festival in 2002.
