With over two decades of expertise collaborating with esteemed food retailers and producers, Sarah Louise envisioned a brand that would not only redefine Food & Drink Gifts but also elevate the customer experience with a modern touch and personalised service.

Her passion knows no bounds, as evidenced by her pivotal roles as Chair for the Greater Lincolnshire Food Board and Lead for the UK Food Valley, where she tirelessly champions sustainability in food and farming production while actively supporting women venturing into business within the sector. Honoured with prestigious awards including the Amazon Growing Business Awards, EY Entrepreneur of the Year, and the IGD Award for Business Transformation, Sarah Louise remains focused on personal growth and believes anything is possible with hard work and consistency, uplifting and empowering others.
