BEST FAMILY-FRIENDLY RESORT - THE LOCH RANNOCH HIGHLAND CLUB – UK

Founded in 1976, the Loch Rannoch Highland Club is one of the oldest private clubs in Scotland. Nestled on the shores of Loch Rannoch, the club offers its members a variety of outdoor activities, including fishing, hunting, and hiking. Founder Frank Chapman bought the Loch Rannoch Hotel in 1974 and soon transformed the run down 2 star hotel to an upmarket tourist destination that employed 100 people and was served by a private helicopter. It was here that he kicked off the timeshare craze by offering year-round multi-ownership in newly constructed lodges, which were opened in 1976 by Scotland’s minister for tourism Alan Deveraux.

Situated in the Scottish Highlands, the Loch Rannoch Highland Club is a modern take on the 70-year-old timeshare concept. With its stylish pet-friendly lodges and top-of-the-line amenities, the club offers its members a luxurious escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Even better, the club is situated close to some of Scotland's most stunning landscapes, making it the perfect base for exploring the area's natural beauty. From hiking in the local Craig Varr or the famous Munro: Schiehallion to fishing on Loch Rannoch, there are endless opportunities for outdoor adventure. Whether you're looking for an active holiday or a peaceful retreat, the Loch Rannoch Highland Club has something to offer everyone.

The Rannoch and Tummel area of Scotland is a veritable playground for outdoor enthusiasts. From hiking and mountain biking to canoeing and climbing, there is something for everyone to enjoy. The area is also home to some of the most stunning scenery in the country, making it the perfect place to relax and take in the natural beauty. Whether you're looking for an adrenaline-filled adventure or a peaceful escape, the Rannoch and Tummel area is sure to have something for you.

The estate dates back to 1974 when Frank Chapman purchased the hotel. Since then, the club has been carefully restored and extended, ensuring that it retains its original character while providing modern facilities for guests. The club is now a popular destination for visitors from all over the world, and its grounds are also home to a number of wildlife species.

General Manager Richard Deak and the team work tirelessly to ensure this independent member’s club stays true to its members. Uniquely run by its members, they will reap the benefits for years to come. That’s why they aim to ensure these benefits are the best they can be. With affordable prices and options to suit, whether you desire a week away or favour a five year or permanent contract.

Owners are free to swap their week, to a later week within the year and as they are enrolled with several exchange providers, you can decide to switch your holiday with a week abroad instead. Not being tied down is another great perk, if you cannot make it one year, the helpful administration department will then help rent your apartment out.

The Highlands offer visitors a chance to experience some of the most stunning scenery in the world. From towering mountain peaks to pristine lochs, the Highlands are home to some of the most beautiful natural wonders in Scotland. In addition to its natural beauty, the Highlands also boast a rich history and culture. Visitors can explore ancient castles and ruins and learn about the region’s unique traditions.

Animal Charity of the Year 2023 - Paws2Rescue - UK

Paws2Rescue is a UK- registered charity, and every member of our 43-strong team is a volunteer dedicated to relieving the suffering of animals across the world.

Why Do We Do it? Nine o’clock in the morning and it was already -20C as we drove to the public shelter in a town in rural Romania. At least we knew that the 800 strays and abandoned pets caged in the most appalling conditions there would eat well today, thanks to the bags of food we had stashed in the boot. Our hearts broke as we passed dogs pitifully curled up against the biting wind; half-hidden inside holes they had dug in the snow just to survive. That's when we saw Ivy slowly walking along, silent in her pain, too cold to show fear when we approached. She was heavier than she looked, weighed down by heavy clumps of matted fur and her paws, frozen solid, made us cry. This is the everyday reality in Romania and Moldova where the lack of neutering has led to a huge stray population; where starving dogs scavenge before being cruelly rounded up by dog-catchers and taken to “shelters'' to be killed. Yet Ivy, and thousands like her, are now warm and fed because we refuse to drive by. For dogs like her, adopted into UK families, the days of frozen paws and empty bellies are over. Thousands, almost millions of pups have not been born into misery because we carry out neutering. Because we care. Our love for dogs does not recognise borders, and we cannot stand to see any dog in distress.

What do we do? Providing neutering services is at the heart of our mission as work towards our ultimate goal of ensuring every dog is a wanted dog. Currently, we neuter extensively in Ukraine, Peru, Columbia, and particularly the communities of rural Romania and we are grateful for the support of Battersea Dog’s Home in this. Each year, our vet scholarships enable young people to train in Veterinary Medicine at college or university in Romania. These student vets participate in neuter campaigns, in global research projects and will soon be staffing our new

Medical Center for Education and Animal Services in the south of the country. This unique project is the first of its kind in Romania where as well as providing medical care, we will expand the education programme we have already rolled out across seven counties in Romania. Additionally, our commitment to helping individual dogs in danger means that we are constantly facilitating the rescue of abused and injured dogs. Collectively, our rescuers have up to 3,000 animals in their care at any one time and we support them by fundraising to cover the cost of vet treatment, food, bedding and shelter. We also run an adoption scheme, enabling a number of animals to find a loving family in the UK. Sadly, some of our dogs are just too traumatised to be rehomed, and we provide a secure and comfortable environment for these animals through our Sponsor a Dog scheme and our new Sanctuary.

Every member of our team has a particular remit, from arranging home-checks to organising fundraising events and updating our social media channels. Our main efforts are focused on funding our projects, those areas where our input is most desperately needed and devise projects to meet those needs. Prepare for Winter is an annual campaign that starts in the summer. Donations raised are specifically held until the winter, when temperatures in Romania can drop below -25C and the snow drifts up to 8 feet or more. Every year, we are able to help up to fifty small rescuers and individuals who cry out for help for shelter, straw and food. This campaign is a real lifesaver for dogs, as our new Sanctuary will be. Working to architects’ plans, the build is of high quality, and of course, the costs are equally high and we are reliant on donations for each step of the project.

We are passionate about what we do, but we can’t do it alone. We rely on the kindness of supporters who are equally committed to alleviating suffering and who believe in our mission: ensuring every animal is a wanted animal.

Blake Baumann : A Mission to help individuals with autism to unleash their genius so they can live an extraordinary life.

ASPIE-R (pronounced as aspire) was started in 2018 with a focus on helping young adults with autism to launch into life successfully.

The reason for the company name is a play on words with Aspie being a person with Asperger’s Syndrome which is also known as high functioning autism and now just know as Level 1 Autism Spectrum Disorder. Then by adding the R to the end it turns it into ASPIE-R (aspire) which means to rise higher and directs ones hopes and ambitions towards achieving something.

Blake Baumann is the Owner and Head Coach and holds certifications as Professional Certified Coach (PCC) from the International Coaching Federation (ICF), Certified Professional Coach (CPC) and Energy Leadership Index Master Practitioner (ELIMP) from the Institute of Professional Excellence in Coaching (iPEC). He also has been an executive leader for over 20 years running Sales, Customer Service, Marketing, and Consulting teams.

Blake is also autistic himself and the parent of 4 young adults that are neurodiverse ranging from 18 – 24 years of age who have all launched successfully into life following the strategies Blake uses in helping coach young adults.

Blake has expanded his business to coaching individuals with other Neurodiversities such ADHD, of all ages, as well as expanded into executive coaching.

I believe in my company, after having coached individuals to success all over the world from Australia to Spain to Turkey to England to all over the United States from coast to coast. With each person I have coached, I have helped them to get further faster in life and achieve goals that will make a generational impact in their life that pay it forward.

My unique approach to helping clients separates me from other coaches and leads to the success I have with my clientele. Relationships with clients is I work as a coach, consultant, accountability partner, and in some .

cases as a mentor with everything being strictly professional

I have spent over $100,000 in self-development reading over 1000 books, attending events, completing training, and gaining certifications. I have coaching certifications of PCC by the ICF and then CPC & ELI-MP by iPEC.

I have been an executive leader for over 20 years and held positions such as EVP, VP of Sales, VP of Client Success, VP of Consultative Services, & General Manager, with this knowledge comes experience and offers a diverse taste into a range of roles.

I have helped people grow their careers and become leaders as well as helped people to launch into life successfully. Next year this time I will have launched several new programs with the first in route now called the Autism Independence Academy which is focused on helping high functioning teens and young adults to gain their independence.

After that the next phase is to replicate it for young neurodiverse professionals to gain the skills to help them excel in the workplace and become the next generation of leaders.

Ah, the elusive goal of health and wellness - something we all strive for but can often come with a decimating side of anxiety. The struggle to balance a nutritious diet with a successful career, all while maintaining motivation to break a sweat, can be overwhelming. But fear not, for in the midst of this challenge comes Shirley Billigmeier - a global leader paving the way for sustainable weight loss, health and a mindful work-life balance. Say goodbye to the stress and hello to a healthier, happier you.

For as long as she can remember, Shirley’s purpose in life was crystal clear - to unlock the answers to all the eating and weight struggles that constantly plague us. Shirley was deeply intrigued as to how and why we expend so much time and energy stressing over food, scrutinizing the scale, and valuing ourselves based on what we consume. Her mission and fervor for this issue has fueled her for years, and now more motivated than ever to tackle this head-on.

“So how has something as simple as eating become so complex? When one watches infants, they have a strong voice to tell you when they are hungry and want to eat. They also have a strong desire to stop eating when they are no longer hungry. The boundaries of eating – the start and stop to make the decision to start eating and to stop eating”.

Introducing Innergetics - the revolutionary approach to eating that taps into our natural boundaries and energy levels. Rather than imposing external regulations on what and how much we consume, Innergetics aims to remove the obstacles that have made us tune out our internal cues. It's time to take charge of our own dietary needs and let our bodies guide us towards a more satisfying and fulfilling way of eating.

Eating is easy, life is complex.

Shirley is an understanding individual who recognizes that we’re all unique beings with our own unique set of preferences and inclinations. She believes that there’s no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to leading a healthy lifestyle. Thanks to her extensive research and education, as well as the valuable insights gleaned from countless testimonials, Shirley has come to understand that the key to successful weight loss is to understand the process itself. She encourages all of us to take charge of our own health and wellness journeys and to chart a course that speaks to our individual needs and aspirations.

Embrace your body because it's uniquely yours! Only you can know what feels right and what doesn't. Nobody else can force you to take on a certain persona, it's up to you to determine your identity. And when it comes to your physical and mental health, sustainable changes are key - there's no need to rush to achieve a certain look.

Shirley has four certified coaches that she is exceptionally proud to have on her team. In addition to completing the process, they have done their own case studies which allows them to not only live it but to teach it. Shirley specifically

and enhancing your health. Believe it or not, your body is sending you messages 9 to 1 from your gut to your head versus your head to your gut. So, by neglecting the messages from your gut, you are cutting out 90% of your body’s signals – the wisdom of the body.

Since the publication of Shirley’s book,’ “Inner Eating”, she has gone on to help more than 10,000 clients and counting, with a newly launched self -paced online course. This allows her clients to connect with the Innergetics Process in their own time, with over 60 short videos. In these videos, each client truly feels like Shirley is right there with them. Also available is virtual coaching in a small group or individually.

“The answer is within every person. Innergetics simply takes out the interference so one’s natural boundaries can surface.”

It’s hard not to be inspired by Shirley, the revolutionary figure who is reshaping the landscape of weight loss through her innovative approach to fostering lifelong healthy eating habits and positive relationships with food. Behind this impressive woman, there lies an unwavering drive, sharp intellect, and impressive achievements - qualities that make her a true role model. With fierce business ethics and unwavering determination, Shirley is a force to be reckoned with.

Investors Cannot Afford to Miss Out on the Biggest Long-Term Opportunity in Financial Markets: Global Trends Investing

Which long-term investment opportunity today offers investors the most upside over the next 10 years?

We argue there is an opportunity, today, offering stronger long-term performance than any other asset class.

At Dominion we believe that investing in long-term structural growth trends offers investors a unique, industry leading investment opportunity.

This is not limited to just one or two themes. Emerging technologies, change in society, industrialization, the themes available to invest in are numerous. Through our investment funds, we offer exposure to all these major sources of change in the world, generating returns based on that change.

Our approach, which differs from most fund managers, means we are free to look for trends occurring at a global level and offering the best long-term opportunities.

These structural themes, which we call Global Trends, are reshaping our world. Missing out on this deprives investors of a critical long-term exposure to sustainable growth.

There are 2 million electric cars on the road today; by 2030 there will be 200 million, a 100x increase in market size.

Climate change requires trillions of dollars of investment in zero carbon energy infrastructure, energy efficiency and new technologies to supply future energy needs.

New healthcare technology is allowing all humans to live longer and more fulfilling lives, generating long-term growth in investment into healthcare services and research & development.

These are a few examples of the monumental changes underway in the global economy. All investors should have access to investment tools giving them exposure to these themes.

As the world continues to change, so does the focus of our funds, which ‘future proofs’ our investment exposures and allows us to invest in the Global Trends of the future, as and when they arise.

The investment team at Dominion is structured to create breadth and depth of knowledge. With more than 100 years combined investment experience, the team is often years ahead of the market in identifying structural themes and successful investment strategies driven by Global Trends.

TRUSTED ADVISERS, TRANSACTION ENABLERS

BEST BOUTIQUE CORPORATE M&A ADVISORY FIRM 2023 - AUSTRALIA

Founded in 2019, based in Sydney, SCD Advisory is an independent corporate and M&A advisory boutique. Focusing on people and IP-based businesses, the team at SCD Advisory have built an astonishing reputation as a premier provider of exemplary services in the field of corporate and M&A advisory.

When dealing with any transaction, you want to work with a firm that will consider your needs at all times. As a boutique organisation, the team at SCD Advisory specialise in end-to-end transaction advisory. From acquisition to exit strategy, from transaction preparation to deal execution, their skills hold considerable sway within this specialist sector of “people and IP-based consultancy.

Generally, SCD Advisory is called upon to assist private companies which generate from $10 to $100m of revenues on the 4 value-added services sectors: IT Services, Management Consulting, Marketing & Digital, Design & Engineering. Their work is not simply to sell the business on, but to help shareholders prepare for the change that is to come. Key to this is the development of a comprehensive exit strategy, working closely alongside prominent strategic players or PE funds.

Since its inception, SCD has facilitated over 25 major deals, selling businesses to Deloitte, DXC, Mercer, McKinsey, Nous, Capgemini, IBM, Alten, Rapid Circle or Cyient. Clients describe the team’s passion as contagious and its experience as invaluable. 3 core values drive SCD forward: trust, expertise and delivering outcomes.

Pierre is actively involved with managing both his team and the company’s clients. He tells us: “In current conditions, drive, focus and a lot of discipline are required to make a deal happen. Both parties need to know what they want. Our focus is to provide visibility for all stakeholders thereby gaining trust.”

We ask Pierre to tell us about the challenges the company has faced recently:

“The M&A markets are still in good condition, especially on the mid-cap segment. There are several reasons for this. Despite recent interest rates increase, there is still demand due to the post-COVID growth and the level of cash available. The sectors we work with are in demand and attractive to investors. In Australia we’re experiencing a shortage of talent due to reduced international mobility, recruiting the right people is challenging. Prioritising tasks and managing the expectations of clients and buyers has become more important than ever before.”

When asked which skills a successful M&A advisor needs, Pierre explains:

“It takes time to accumulate the experience needed. The work is technical, but client and deal management requires an understanding of psychology too. Dealmakers need to have good listening skills and be empathetic. It’s important to learn how to manage stress and how to not take things personally too. You can’t consider yourself a winner or a loser based on the positive or negative outcome of a deal. But the job could be binary: at the end of the day, a deal is either signed or it is not.”

Looking to the future the company plans to continue making deals in the People and IP-based sectors in Australia. The aim, to be recognised as a leader in this niche. Continuing to expand the team is on the agenda too. You can find a host of glowing customer testimonials on SCD’s recently updated website. If you’re looking for an expert in IP-based M&A, why not pay it a visit?

BEST INTERNATIONAL BANKING & FINANCE SME 2023 - MADHULIKA SYAL – GLOBAL

The one person, to whom I ultimately owe my success is my Mother, giving me the foundations I needed to reach for the top. Teaching me the importance of self-reflection and allowing me to find the confidence and comfort in expressing myself, an invaluable lesson to learn.

My friend Anuradha, an accomplished public speaker inspired me and taught me that as women we have an important choice to find environments and people that will support us in our careers, something we all need in our life.

I had to learn to truly believe in myself, once you find that inner strength you can influence and promote change. But above it all you don’t have to always fail to win, it is not a zero-sum game, this has stuck with me throughout my career. Forever aspiring to be a proponent of investing in others and helping lift them up, showing them, they too can get ahead without having to do it at the expense of someone else, we are all in this together.

One word of advice, is move forward, move with conviction and believe in yourself, don’t underestimate who you are, we can all achieve greatness if we just believe.
