Happy Mandarin 快乐中文 is the brainchild of Karen Cheuk, a Cambridge-educated mother, ex-business consultant and entrepreneur. With her business now in its 9th year, and with growing demand for online and face to face classes, Karen has opted to invest in Pebble, an award-winning booking management software for children's activity providers.

Paul Wilcox, founder of children’s club We are Adventurers, spent his childhood climbing trees and building dens in the woods behind his house. His passion for the outdoors never waned and, in 2013, he launched his first We Are Adventurers session to a group of five children. Just over a decade later, more than 10,000 children a year attend sessions run by Paul and his carefully selected team. To reduce the burden of administration, and to ensure compliance with Ofsted requirements, Paul has recently signed up with Pebble, a software provider focused on simplifying the process of booking activities for children.

When Char Marland launched Cheshire Messy Play in January 2024, she had no idea how quickly the business would grow. Having signed up to Pebble from the outset, Char had the foundations in place to scale the business fast - quickly growing it from a few classes a week to a full-time business in a matter of months.
