Our first major event with our brownies…

Time flies when you are having fun, and I cannot believe three years have passed since we won the Barclaycard Business Boost award. So much has changed in our business since that moment; it truly feels like a lifetime ago.

For those who missed the news back then, we received a life-changing grant from Barclaycard to expand our reach within the festival scene. The grand prize? A coveted trading stand at the Latitude Festival. While we had already brought our delicious brownies to various events, we had never experienced anything on this massive scale.

Why did this win matter so much to us? Trading at a large-scale festival requires a significant upfront investment. Cashflow within small businesses remains tight at the best of times, which often limits opportunities for creative entrepreneurs. Because we only confirmed our win the Friday before the gates opened, we had to work around the clock to build our pitch.

We suddenly faced a mountain of logistics and items we hadn’t even considered. Fortunately, a dedicated mentor guided us through the chaos. With hard work from our mentor and the entire team, we served our first customers by Thursday morning. You can read more about our journey in this Barclaycard case study.

Watching the festival come alive was an incredible experience. Although we have hung up our large festival aprons for now, we always keep our eyes peeled for the next perfect event. We love sharing our brownies with festival-goers at vibrant events across the country. We are constantly evolving, so watch this space to see where we pop up next!
