B2BC: the summit | NEVERBLAND®

They’ve only gone and bloody done it. Ryan and Alex successfully hiked to Everest Base Camp last month, all in the name of PHASE Worldwide. The boys trekked a mighty 135km over 14 days to reach Base Camp, facing altitude sickness, fatigue, and fitness challenges on the daily.

The hike itself is a massive achievement but, as Ryan said, let’s not forget the motive behind their mission. The money raised by the B2BC crew will be donated to women and children living in remote regions of Nepal as wel

Is AI coming for your job? | NEVERBLAND®

Artificial intelligence is everywhere. From shopping and socials to google maps, it’s clear that AI continues to seep into every facet of our digital lives. What’s really wild, I that most of the time we don’t notice it’s there. Most of the ‘useful functions’ of apps and websites that we love are powered by artificial intelligence.

As AI advances at pace, I think we’re all beginning to wonder if machines will eventually replace human workers. What was once a foreign concept stemming from scienc

Social media and sport: revolutionary or risky? | NEVERBLAND®

Sport has been fundamentally changed by technology over the years, but is every technological advancement good for the sporting world?

Social media is a core part of our modern lives. The average Joe spends around five hours every day consuming content from social media. But in a world where everyone can be a pundit with an online platform and considerable followings, how do professional athletes navigate the world of social media?

Platforms like Instagram and TikTok have revolutionised the wa

Neverbland: Where did you get the idea for Vinny vending machines?

Is AI coming for your design job? | NEVERBLAND®

Bristol to Base Camp: the countdown continues | NEVERBLAND®

As we eagerly await the kick-off of the highly anticipated PHASE Base Camp expedition, Ryan and Alex have been keeping themselves rather busy. Here’s what the boys have been up to recently.

Last week saw Ryan and Alex meet the rest of their expedition crew and take on a weekend adventure. The boys braved the elements to hike the magnificent Pen y Fan alongside their six teammates. This Welsh wonder of the Britsh Isles is the highest peak in south Wales, standing at a mighty 2900ft. This mini-hi

Being BCorp: building websites that don’t cost the Earth | NEVERBLAND®

Greenhouse emissions. You’ve heard of them. You know that we need to reduce them to save our planet. But did you know that the internet is responsible for a good chunk of our daily greenhouse gas emissions? Here’s how Neverbland builds websites with the planet in mind.

Before working at Neverbland I had no idea that websites and internet usage contributes to emissions. I used to think of the internet as this great, invisible force that flows freely around us, not as a force creating carbon emis

My first year in tech | NEVERBLAND®

Last week, I was curled up on the sofa one evening, when my phone began to vibrate vigorously. Buzz. Buzz. And buzz again. Odd, I thought.

I turned my phone over and examined the screen, expecting a stream of ranting texts from a friend or perhaps a sequence of spam emails. My face was illuminated by equal parts LED and horror as the notification glared back at me:

Oh, God. A whole year has passed since I started working at Neverbland. A year of my life blinked past me in an instant. A whole y

What can we do about gender bias in the tech industry? | NEVERBLAND®

Despite several initiatives set up to boost female participation in fields like coding and computer science, only 26% of the tech workforce is made up of women. That's right, a five-trillion-dollar industry that continues to be made up of predominantly men.

But things are changing. Our industry is more actively seeking female employees than ever before, as demonstrated by the recent partnerships formed between huge companies and organisations like Code First Girls. It’s a great first step, but

The Great British Shake-off | NEVERBLAND®
