A Devon-based company is on course for a record-breaking year with hundreds of students heading to Devon in the coming weeks.
As the World Cup reaches the next exciting stages, The Training Partnership Limited (TTPL) is welcoming over a hundred students and graduates from Germany, France, Italy and Spain, and close to 300 arrivals in total by the end of July.

Imagine you were one of the founders of huge companies like Apple, Microsoft or Google, and you were worth billions. Of course, most of us would make sure that our families are taken care of. But, do you have any idea what would you buy or do with the rest of the money? Check out these 7 things you could do if money was no object.
