PB&B
Anthony Aho
PB&B is a specialty Swiss Life Sciences company founded by bioengineers working with plastic surgeons to test and bring to market a new patented injectable technology for the remodeling of soft tissues of the face and body.
As the face ages, fat loses volume causing facial sagging and wrinkles. Our injection superfeeds fat with lipids to reverse facial aging. Injected at large volume, breasts/buttocks can be enhanced naturally and without surgery.
PB&B is set to enter clinical testing to gain FDA approval and CE mark to enter the US and EU market in 2023.

Isle of Wight Distillery
Founded in 2014 by Xavier Baker, a brewer and Conrad Gauntlet, a winemaker, on the Isle of Wight. In 2017 brand development consultant, Vincent Nolan joined. Mermaid Gin was relaunched with award winning new packaging in 2019. The relaunch delivered new distribution with on-trade suppliers and retailers in the UK and internationally. Sales grew rapidly, without paid for media, strengthened by the launch of Mermaid Pink in June 2019. More innovative new products are in the pipeline.
Growth has continued despite interruption to the on-trade, with retail and on-line sales performing well. Mermaid was designed as a recession beating brand, providing consumers with affordable luxury. Being plastic free and soon Net Zero, Mermaid is the ethical choice for the discerning premium Gin drinker.
