National Museums Scotland
Catherine will share with Thrive the 'Transformation of National Museums Scotland' following a recent £47.4m refit. The three-year programme has seen the original interior restored and storage areas turned into public space, making it one of the UK's largest museums. Sixteen new galleries take visitors on a journey through the wonders of nature, the cultures of the world and through to science and discovery. www.nms.ac.uk.

Skyscanner
Skyscanner provides instant comparison on flight prices for over 670,000 routes on over 600 airlines, as well as price comparison for car hire, hotels and holidays.

Skyscanner started off as an underground success story. Frustrated by how difficult it was to compare flights from different airlines, three IT professionals had a vision for a single website that could collect and compare prices for every commercial flight in the world. From a simple excel spreadsheet, Skyscanner was born. www.skyscanner.net
