- So, we started our business in a shed,
in my mum and dad's garden,
and we had 200 quid,
and we decided we were gonna
redesign the fashion industry.
We wanted to use natural materials,
like organic cotton.
We wanted to use renewable energy,
instead of fossil fuels.
We wanted to have a factory
that was not very wasteful,
and we wanted everything
to be quite accessible.
What's crazy, I think, about it,
is when we tried to do
each one of those things,
everything got more expensive.
And the solution wasn't just like,
why don't we ask everybody
to kinda do a bit less,
or pay a bit more?
And we realized quite quickly,
that we could use technology
to solve some of these problems.
And along the way, we were needed
a real low-cost option for us to
be able to get computing
in and around the place.
And then someone said, "Oh, you should
"check out Raspberry Pi."
What's that?
"It's a computer, and it
costs 20 quid or something,
and it's the size of a credit card."
I was like, "Okay, that can't be true.
"Only two of those things can be true,
"Which two is it?"
We got one, and it just blew our mind,
because there's no limit to
what we could do with it.
So today on site, I
think there's well over
a hundred Raspberry Pis on site,
and they do all sorts of different stuff.
Control displays, act as servers,
control lights, process raw data,
control machines, interface with people.
You can use a Raspberry
Pi, and just get computing
in a place very very efficiently.
In the world today, there's a lot
of issues around the
environment and sustainability,
which feel like compromises.
You wanna do your bit, but it costs more.
What this kind of
technology allows us to do
is make things cost less,
because you can then create these
massive efficiencies for a technology,
and that's what enables you to be able to
afford to do the things
that you want to do
with sustainability, without having
to compromise on price.
