500 for June!
In line with the sunny weather, Octopus has reached an exciting milestone - 500 participants randomised!
A huge thank you goes to all the site staff for all their hard work recruiting participants to join Octopus and all the participants who have chosen to join Octopus this past year and a half.
We aren't slowing down - Octopus will be opening at more sites across the UK this summer and the Australian extension called Platypus is about to launch!
