Entrepreneur UK's London 100: Clays Bar
Industry: Hospitality
Since launching in 2021, Clays has redefined the status quo when it comes to experiential bars. Leveraging advanced motion-capture technology and using a deactivated shotgun, Clays delivers a fun and interactive gamified clay shooting experience with sub-millimetre accuracy.
2024 saw like for-like sales in its London venues up by over 25% compared to the previous year. In summer 2025 Clays will open its fourth UK site, in the heart of Central London, on Soho's Brewer Street. Alongside growth in the UK, Clays have confirmed global expansion into the US market.
Entering into a Joint Venture agreement with Hadrena, Clays have confirmed a roll out of 15 sites in the US. Clays expansion into the US market leads the next wave of British experiential leisure brands dominating in the US, following the success of Swingers, Puttshack and Electric Shuffle.
Clays founder, Tom Snellock, comments: "Our proprietary technology and international patents have allowed us to enter into the US market, whilst our Joint Venture agreement with Hadrena has enabled our rapid expansion plans into multiple US markets. With nothing quite like Clays in the current US market, we're confident in our potential for tremendous success across the Atlantic, paving the way to further build and strengthen our legacy."

Novuna Business Finance report reveals how UK small businesses are advancing sustainability despite global pressures
LONDON, June 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- As global environmental and economic pressures mount, small businesses in the UK are showing that meaningful sustainability action doesn't need to start with government or global corporations. A new report from Novuna Business Finance highlights how SMEs are tackling environmental challenges head-on, often driven by local needs, not national directives. The new report, 'Global Local: Small Business and Sustainability in a Changing World', presents insight from UK small business owners on how they're responding to issues like climate change, waste, and energy use — and the barriers standing in their way. Rather than waiting for top-down change, many small businesses are developing their own strategies to operate more sustainably, drawing strength from their ties to local communities. What's Holding Businesses Back? The report sheds light on the top sustainability challenges small businesses currently face: Rising energy costs (55%), unpredictable government policy (48%), concerns over inflation and interest rates (40%), global economic disruption (37%) and climate-related concerns (33%) Despite global uncertainty, the new Novuna report shows UK small businesses remain deeply rooted in their communities and are pushing forward with their own sustainability efforts, often to meet the demands of local customers and their local community. The case study stories featured in this report - are also available in full via The Sustainable Business Podcast. Jo Morris, Head of Insight at Novuna Business Finance, commented: "I'd like to thank Sea Change Wine, Cambridge Building Services and BilinguaSing for sharing their stories with us in this report and as guest on the 'Sustainable Business Podcast'. These three businesses, though operating in very different sectors and doing very different things, share something important: they are all making a significant local impact in the communities where they live and work, while also staying mindful of global conversations and actions around climate change and net-zero goals."
