The design offered printing and branding to change the look of the market stall appearance in the United Kingdom and Europe.[5] Gala Tent have also developed a Secure Order Transfer payment system for telephone transactions which won the 2014 UK IT Award, the awards dinner took place 12th November at the Battersea Park Events Arena in London.[6][7]

Jason presented his ideas to several influential people, including many of the UK's leading entrepreneurs, for a National Entrepreneurial Service[10] for two years after they leave school, along with ideas and systems of how to bring down unemployment.
