Condor is a niche high-end frame and bicycle builders. When we’re looking for a company to produce a bespoke bike that captures all the qualities of our suits, Condor was the perfect partner. They sourced the best quality components available to create something truly unique.

The perfect site for antiques and decorative arts. The mix and range of merchandise is truly eclectic, from modern to historic, with prices starting at £500 going up to £100,000. It is a great way to window shop antiques without having to actually schlep round a market.

A charming site that gets my taste buds going whenever I log on. The cakes all look like cakes ought to, little islands of fun and fantasy. Whenever there is a special occasion (even when there’s not) in the company we try and buy cakes here.

Although I don’t consider what we as a company do as fashion, it is always helpful and interesting to see what is going on in the fashion world particularly in terms of design and colour trends. As well as the major designers it’s possible to see what younger and lesser-known designers are up to.

I very much enjoy modern art and the achievements of the British artists over the last 10 to 15 years is phenomenal. The White cube gallery represents most of these and the site has the work of all their artists and is the perfect way to see the evolution and progress of modern British art.

GQ is probably the best and most influential men’s magazine in the UK, this site is a good representation of that and if you are thinking of subscribing definitely worth having a look. For any young male GQ is a useful tool to help take advantage of what the world has to offer.

I am fortunate to travel a lot for business and I find this site very useful when looking to stay in smaller more special hotels or if extending a trip and looking to stay purely for pleasure. It eschews the obvious choices and quite often picks quirkier out of the way places.

Anyone who is raising money for charity can register themselves on this site, this is very inclusive and easy to use. This is a lot simpler way of collecting money; Inform family or friends and leave it to them to pledge what they want, no more hunting down distance Aunts and Uncles months after you have completed your run/cycle or swim.

Unfortunately I don’t surf as much as I would like, but whenever there’s a window of opportunity this is the first site I visit. Everyday they post the current surf conditions along with photos of beaches in Bude and a forecast for the coming days. This helps all those surf commuters decide on whether it is worth the long trip to Cornwall.
