Driving Innovation and Trust: Ten's Journey to Redefine Service Excellence
Ten is on a mission to become the most trusted service business in the world. Technology-driven Product is at the centre of our strategy to create a hugely successful service and business. Millions of members already have access to Ten's services across lifestyle, travel, dining and entertainment on behalf of over fifty clients including HSBC, Swisscard and Royal Bank of Canada. Ten's partnerships are based on multi-year contracts generating revenue through platform-as-a-service and technology fees.
We have the advantages of already being at scale globally with a critical mass of high net worth members via stable, multi-year revenue-generating contracts. We already have a market leading consumer proposition and credibility (and many integrations) with the leading suppliers/partners across our 'big 4' service categories of restaurants/travel/entertainment and luxury retail.
We are profitable and the first B Corp listed on the London Stock Exchange (AIM market).
Our plans are to continue to invest into technology (including AI) to become the main way that our members organise their leisure lives. The next few years will see Ten speed up our progress via our Growth Engine strategy, making the next huge steps to achieve our ambitions together.
