The King’s Award for Enterprise for Innovation comes just as 365 finance marks its 10-year anniversary. The London-based lender was honoured to receive the award in recognition of its innovative Rev&U™ AI-powered automated underwriting and funding platform, which significantly improves the speed and underwriting accuracy of funding for small businesses in the UK.
9Barista was founded by espresso fanatic and jet engineer William Playford. Combining his two passions, William started work on designing the 9Barista Espresso Machine back in 2013. A truly remarkable device, the 9Barista has the unique ability, using its patented twin- boiler technology, to produce professional quality espresso on a stove top, and is now being enjoyed by coffee aficionados all around the world.

So William used all his jet engineering expertise to develop a completely novel solution for creating high pressures and controlled temperatures in a deceptively simple home espresso maker. The result? Consistently delicious espresso with exceptional reliability and durability. Simple, but at the same time deliciously clever.
