Created Shetlandeli, grew it and then facilitated its move to one of Scotland's leading social enterprises, Cope Limited.

I grew the company from a small-scale start-up to an exporter of products with a wide range of client contracts. The company garnered widespread attention for its innovative branding and exceptional taste with product awards including a Great Taste Award and a silver award for Best Product at the Speciality Food Show 2015.
