Where to even begin with this… Bella Scarr you absolutely smashed it this weekend as the Producer of the Aldeburgh Food and Drink Festival 2024. The calibre of the celeb chefs, the masterclasses and demos were incredible. The atmosphere was electric and it was so uplifting walking around seeing so many people enjoying themselves. The […]

We are really looking forward to making the most of our membership and getting out and about to meet other fabulous businesses. Of course we’ll update you every step of the way with our progress! […]
We are so excited to reveal that we have been accepted to join the Buy Women Built community! My journey into learning more about this amazing and uplifting community began when I was asked by Alison Rose (CEO at the time of NatWest) to come to dinner to discuss the struggles I’d faced as […]
