EPISODE 7:
Founded in the UK’s South West, Myles Hopper is the Co-Founder of Mindful Chef, the UK’s favourite recipe box (as voted on Trustpilot). With turnover expected to reach £20 million by the end of 2019, the brand has a loyal customer-base including pro tennis star Sir Andy Murray, and Olympic gold winner Victoria Pendleton CBE – both investors in the business.

In this episode, Myles shares that ‘eureka moment’ when the business idea was formed, the art of negotiating with suppliers, and how to execute a successful crowdfunding campaign. We also dive into the idea of competition as an opportunity, taking a closer look at the industry leaders and how they are expanding the category and driving consumer appetite.
