Founder Nicky Edmunds designed the contemporary dishes to be not only visually striking but also functional. Made to ensure your bathroom basins remain free of slippery soap marks, the soap dishes add a splash of colour and personality, elevating bathroom aesthetics with ease.

“The smallest items can have a big impact on the look and feel of a bathroom. Our soap dishes are a subtle yet luxurious addition,” said Edmunds. “They bring both luxury and individuality to your space.”

Each soap dish is meticulously handmade, making every piece unique. Available in two sizes, small and large, the dishes cater to a variety of bathroom spaces – from expansive suites to smaller ensuites or cloakrooms. The high-quality British clay used in their creation makes them durable enough to withstand the daily wear and moisture typically found in bathrooms.

The soap dishes are non-porous, meaning they are resistant to bacteria and mould growth, making them not only a stylish addition but a hygienic one as well. Available in five vibrant colours, including Cornflower Blue, Light Yellow, Off-White, Pale Pink, and Mint Green, they offer a choice to suit different bathroom themes.

The handmade soap dishes from Habulous are available now, with prices starting from £18. These elegant accessories provide a simple yet effective way to refresh your bathroom décor and add a personal touch to your home.

Habulous’s soap dishes are crafted to be long-lasting and are made with care and precision, reflecting the brand’s commitment to creating high-quality, artisan homeware. Whether for a lavish bathroom or a more compact space, these dishes serve as the perfect way to enhance your bathroom while ensuring practicality.

The introduction of the PIP qualification will be mandatory for all customer-facing employees at MoneyPlus, which employs over 170 staff. This initiative is part of a broader employee support programme that includes on-site facilities such as a gym, subsidized meals at the company’s canteen, and mental health support from a qualified counsellor.

Chris Davis, CEO of MoneyPlus, highlighted the importance of this new qualification: “We are committed to delivering the highest standards of advice amid the ongoing cost of living crisis. Our significant investment in this training reflects our dedication to providing top-quality service. By making this qualification mandatory, we aim to set a precedent for the industry and inspire other organisations to adopt similar standards.”

The need for improved training in the debt management sector comes at a time when nearly one in ten UK debt advice providers are considering leaving the sector within the next year, according to the Institute of Money Advisors (IMA). The Money and Pensions Service (MaPS) has also reported challenges in attracting and retaining talent, with half of advisers saying their workloads are unmanageable and about 70% feeling they lack sufficient time to perform their roles effectively.

“Introducing this qualification is about raising the bar and addressing the critical need for upskilling and retaining talent in the sector,” added Davis. “It’s essential that debt advisers are equipped with the most current knowledge and are able to deliver the highest standards of service, especially in managing insolvency and debt advice.”

NTI Insolvency Training, known for its FCA-accredited Money Helper qualifications, is partnering with MoneyPlus to deliver this new PIP training. The qualification is designed to provide not only technical expertise but also to enhance advisers’ abilities to understand and empathise with individuals seeking help with debt.

Neil Taylor, Managing Director of NTI Insolvency Training, commented on the initiative: “The recent fines and disqualifications published by the Insolvency Service highlight a lack of attention to training in parts of the debt management industry. Consumers facing debt issues deserve a higher standard of service to make informed decisions about their repayments. This new qualification aims to address that need by equipping advisers with the skills to offer comprehensive and empathetic support.”

Taylor further explained that the new PIP training programme will ensure that advisers can fully explain all available options and help customers choose the best solutions for their specific situations. “The prospect of seeking help with debt can be distressing and anxiety-inducing,” he said. “Our goal is to provide advisers with the tools they need to offer the highest quality of service, combining technical knowledge with a compassionate approach.”

The launch of this new qualification represents a significant step towards improving the quality of debt management services and supporting the well-being of both consumers and professionals in the sector. As the industry adapts to these new standards, MoneyPlus and NTI Insolvency Training hope to lead the way in setting a new benchmark for excellence in debt advice.
