Episode #252 - From A Bite Of An Idea To An Award-Winning Health & Wellness Brand - with Sara Roberts
Another fascinating episode of ScaleUp Radio. Today I talked with Sara Roberts, who is the founder of Healthy Nibbles. And they pretty much do what it says on the tin - it's all about really good healthy eating and wellness advice, essentially aiming to drive health and well being throughout the nation\xa0
Sara has built the business up to about a million pound run rate, they've got 10 people and are on track to get into 50 million pound turnover within the next five years.\xa0
They are just going through a Series A investment round having had business angel investment in the past, and indeed, we uncover one or two really good lessons around the investment side of things with business angels.\xa0
We also discussed the team side, some of the ups and downs along the way, some of the dark points, and some really good coherent advice from somebody that really is going through this journey right now.\xa0
There's also really good backstory in terms of what led Sara to start Healthy Nibbles in the first place.\xa0
So it\u2019s a great story, Sara has clearly executed really well and has a great strategy for the next stage, and you can't fail to take some value out of listening to Sara\u2019s lessons.
