Foxcombe Bakehouse

Foxcombe Bakehouse has evolved over the years, it all began at my kitchen table on the family farm in rural Devon with me selling cakes at the local pannier market. Now here we are 25 years later selling Award-Winning Cakes, Biscuits and Sweet treats to many customers in the Southwest and beyond!

All of our delicious goodies are still made by hand using traditional recipes with only authentic ingredients and are packaged in eco-friendly packaging. Baking has been a passion of mine from a young age, and it is a pleasure to be able to share it with you.

Disability Together

Disability Together is the new name for Living Options Devon. We are a Devon-based charity working to create access and opportunity for Disabled people to live with more choice, control and independence. Over 10,000 people use our services every year – from wellbeing and peer support, to advice, training and advocacy.

The support and services we provide includes Countryside Mobility, advocacy, peer support, advice services, access auditing and disability, Deaf and autism training. Services are designed and delivered by people with lived experience of disability, so our employee and customer experience solutions are user-led.

With over thirty five years’ experience supporting businesses to become inclusive, accessible, disability aware, and Deaf-friendly, we can help you become more inclusive for everyone.

The Eco Laundry

As the UK’s first eco-friendly laundry service, we have worked hard to develop a process that delivers affordable and sustainable results. We are committed to providing our clients with clean, fresh and professionally-finished laundry and exceptional customer service. We ensure that laundry is delivered on time, smells beautiful and is always immaculately presented in a way that doesn’t cost the earth, meaning plastic free, minimal packaging.

We are so confident in the exceptional service we provide that if you are not entirely satisfied, we are more than happy to provide you with a full refund. No questions asked.

Owens Organic Coffee

Owens love coffee, especially sustainably sourced coffee. We started roasting in 2010 and from day one we have insisted on using the finest, 100% organic and Fair trade beans. Since then we have been perfecting our technique in our dedicated roastery in South Devon.

Our award winning coffee is always roasted to order in our Loring Roaster and we are meticulous about the freshness and flavour of each and every bean.  We love to work with businesses who care about fresh, sustainable produce.

T-Stats Solutions

T-Stats Solutions is the only dedicated custom-built online tracking system for the tourism sector. We work with destination management organisations and councils across the UK helping them understand what is happening in their visitor economies, enabling them to make better marketing, planning and policy-making decisions.

We built and operate the South West Visitor Economy Hub (SWVEH), which covers the entire county of Devon, tracking accommodation occupancy, visits to attractions, footfall, visitor profile, events, weather, and much more. The SWVEH also tracks visitors through an ongoing survey generating detailed insight into trip profile and expenditure of travellers to the county.
