In a world where corporate burnout is prevalent and achieving work-life balance seems elusive, ‘Eighty’ stands out as a beacon of hope and success. Founded by Anna Mosley, who has transitioned from experiencing severe corporate burnout to becoming an award-winning mental fitness and high-performance coach, ‘Eighty’ has been making significant strides since its recent rebranding.

Anna Mosley’s journey is truly inspirational. Battling extreme perfectionism, overwhelm, anxiety, and a loss of confidence after a major breakdown in January 2017, she sought the assistance of an exceptional coach. At this pivotal moment, Anna chose a new path, becoming a coach herself after restabilising her life, deepening her foundations, and rebuilding her self-esteem. Today, she exemplifies the power of resilience and the effectiveness of professional coaching.

‘Eighty’s’ impact on its global corporate clients showcases its innovative and disruptive approach, uniquely bridging the gap between mental fitness and high performance. The company’s rebranding has introduced forward-thinking, edgy, and highly impactful coaching methods. Clients consistently praise Eighty’s impact, simplicity, and effectiveness, noting the high energy and engaging manner in which Anna delivers her ‘6 Simple Steps to Unlocking Full Performance Potential’.

Anna’s dedication goes beyond her professional achievements. As a mumpreneur to two young girls, she has successfully created a thriving lifestyle, proving that balance and high performance can coexist. Her approach dispels the myth that high performance requires excessive hard work. Instead, she teaches high achievers how to reach peak performance through a thriving mindset operating at the low end of the ‘Stressometer’, which Anna calls the ‘High Performance Zone’.

Anna teaches clients that discomfort equals growth and that vulnerability is a superpower, encouraging leaders and their teams to become comfortable with discomfort to drive commercial success.

Anna’s qualifications solidify her expertise. After earning a ‘Management with French’ degree from Nottingham University, she embarked on a successful global leadership career, starting with L’Oreal’s Management Trainee graduate programme. She further refined her skills by becoming a Mental Health Coach and a Master NLP Practitioner, aiming to upskill business teams to nurture a high performance culture.

Her work has identified issues of lacklustre leadership, low accountability, and poor mental fitness in the corporate world. She counters these through championing self-leadership, a growth mindset, and challenging norms to achieve the extraordinary.

These credentials have equipped her to coach a diverse range of clients, from children to CEOs, addressing anxiety, depression, and trauma with unmatched insight, energy, and empathy.

Eighty’s programmes, ranging from 3 to 12 months, have transformed many lives, particularly in the recruitment sector. Testimonials from global brands highlight Anna’s ability to simplify complex topics, make concepts stick, and embed long-term learning and cultural change.

Her upcoming podcast, ‘80% Perfect,’ will reinforce the belief that striving for 80% enables individuals to achieve 100% performance by maintaining balance and mental clarity.

Praising the services of ‘Eighty’, ghd’s former Head of People Nicole Farncombe said: “WOW, just wow, Anna Mosley your session today was outstanding…!”

Tom Dove, Founder of Fraser Dove International, remarked: “Without doubt the best training I’ve had in my entire career”.

Anna Mosley’s philosophy is encapsulated in the belief that “80% is enough.” By adopting this mindset, individuals can achieve clarity of thought, be present, and thrive in the ‘high-performance zone’. The unique 80% methodology promotes working smarter, not harder, leading to enhanced decision-making, increased creativity, and reduced stress.

Shika Wellbeing UK, established in 2021 by Bina Gungah, has rapidly emerged as an award-winning wellness business dedicated to promoting holistic health and wellbeing.

Bina’s extraordinary journey from nursing to entrepreneurship, empowered by her experience with a hidden disability, has resulted in a company that integrates wellbeing products into daily routines for a healthier, more balanced life.

Bina Gungah has lived with Spina Bifida, a condition she initially perceived as a weakness that might limit her progress. Few were aware of her condition as she pursued a career in nursing, working in a clinical environment due to her condition. However, the pandemic brought unforeseen challenges. Redeployed to a Skegness Hospital, Bina’s part-time work soon became untenable due to severe hip pain. This turning point led Bina to confront her struggles, ultimately transforming her perceived weakness into a source of strength and innovation.

“This pivotal moment of vulnerability became my catalyst for change,” Bina shares. “I learned to embrace my disability, which empowered me to turn my personal challenges into a thriving business.”

Whilst maintaining her nursing career, Bina founded Shika Wellbeing UK, focusing on products designed to calm the mind, boost mood, promote relaxation, foster inner healing, and improve sleep quality. Shika Wellbeing UK’s rapid success stands as a testament to Bina’s resilience and determination.

Bina’s journey began with an acupressure mat recommended by her massage therapist. The immediate relief from pain, anxiety, and stress was transformative, leading her to delve into acupressure, acupuncture, and other wellness practices. Combining these with yoga, meditation, hypnotherapy for sleep, and aromatherapy, she experienced significant improvements in her wellbeing.

With a Postgraduate Diploma in Nursing and a degree in Environmental Protection from the University of Bournemouth, Bina’s academic background underscores her commitment to sustainability and ethical production. Every Shika Wellbeing UK product reflects her passion for protecting the environment while promoting health.

“Through Shika Wellbeing UK, I transformed my adversity into a platform for helping others,” Bina reflects. “I found new strength in entrepreneurship, channelling my experiences into creating products that support holistic health.”

Shika Wellbeing UK’s achievements have been recognised with several prestigious awards. In December 2023, the company won the Startup Women Business of the Year at the Lincolnshire Regional Awards. Additionally, in 2024, Shika Wellbeing UK received the Most Commended Award from the Beauty Shortlist Wellbeing Awards and is now a finalist for the National Beauty Awards.

“As I focused on building my business, I became more resilient and positive,” Bina recounts. “I found fulfilment in helping others through Shika Wellbeing UK, and my own mental and physical health improved as a result. A year later, I proudly shared my growing business with friends, family, and colleagues.”

Today, Shika Wellbeing UK thrives on Amazon and beyond, driven by Bina’s passion for holistic health. She aims to inspire others to prioritise their wellbeing and embrace a holistic approach that nurtures every aspect of their being.

“I always thought my disability would hinder my success,” Bina reflects. “But I have learned that with the right mindset, true wellness is achievable. Shika Wellbeing UK embodies this belief, offering products that support a beautiful life through a beautiful mindset.”

Ben Wild Studios, the brainchild of the self-taught artist Ben Wild, has today announced a major rebranding to reflect its phenomenal growth and broader market presence. The studio will now be known as BWS, marking a new chapter in its vibrant journey since its inception in 2019.

Founded by Ben Wild, a local Manchester talent who ventured into the world of animation after leaving Sale High School at the age of 15, BWS has revolutionised the traditional animation industry.

Starting his career path without a university degree, Ben has been a beacon of inspiration, encouraging aspiring artists to pursue their dreams with determination and creativity.

Ben Wild, now 25, has rapidly progressed from an on-site storyboard artist for a film studio to collaborating with high-profile, global clients. This rebrand from Ben Wild Studios to BWS, personally crafted by Ben, symbolises the studio’s evolution and expanded capabilities, which now include a wide range of creative services beyond animation.

“Since our first project with co-founder and investor Andrew Morgan back in 2019, we’ve realised the potential to grow and adapt in this fast-paced industry,” said Ben Wild. “Rebranding to BWS reflects not just our roots but also our wings as we expand into new horizons.”

In just three years, BWS has not only doubled its team but has also built an impressive client portfolio featuring giants like the Premier League, Seren Kids, CBBC, New Balance and Amazon Prime, highlighting the demand for BWS’ high-quality, hand-drawn animations that evoke nostalgia yet break new ground in digital storytelling.

As BWS, the company is poised to take on even more exciting projects and broader creative challenges, driven by a team that’s doubled in size over the past year. This expansion is a testament to BWS’s commitment to excellence and innovation in the traditional animation sphere.
