Dyson

Amazon

Deliveroo

Deliveroo has become a recognised brand around the world with astonishing speed. In August, it secured another $275m to boost its expansion, and managed to settle a difficult dispute with its riders.

Italian Red Cross

Red Cross workers led an initiative to unlock private Wi-Fi networks in order to help rescue efforts following the Italian earthquake in August. Both pioneering and truly noble, this set a new standard for disaster relief.
