While working at the firm, Catherine completed her Legal Practice Course (LPC) with a master’s at the University of Law, achieving a Distinction in 2021.
During her time on Furley Page’s trainee solicitor programme, Catherine spent a year within the Family Law team, where she expanded her knowledge in a broad range of family law matters, including disputes concerning children, divorce, and financial settlements. Now fully qualified, Catherine has been appointed to the firm’s Family Law team and is based at the Canterbury office.
Rayma Collins, Partner and Head of Furley Page’s Family Law team, commented: “We are pleased to welcome Catherine to the team as a fully qualified solicitor.

He continued working as a paralegal while completing his LPC, gaining a Distinction, before beginning his training with Furley Page.
Susan Jennings, Partner and Head of the firm’s Corporate and Commercial team, said: “James has demonstrated an aptitude for corporate and commercial work, while his proactive approach and collaborative nature have already made him an important part of the department during his training.”

Growing Kent & Medway’s Business Sustainability Challenge has awarded grants totalling £200,000 to six innovative local businesses, aimed at promoting sustainability in the food and drink sectors.
Grants worth between £10,000 and £50,000 have been awarded to allow the businesses to undertake short-term, high-impact, and innovative projects. Each project aims to address a specific challenge leading to a commercial, yet environmentally sustainable solution, for local plant-based food and drink supply chains.
The businesses are led by a fascinating group of entrepreneurs, including a part-time PhD student, a kitchen-based producer of South Indian takeaway cuisine, and a group of microbiologists and plant scientists.
They are united by a passion for growing their businesses with sustainability as a priority. They are also committed to ensuring the benefits of these projects are shared across their respective communities by providing education, outreach, or involvement opportunities across Kent and Medway.
Robert Patten, Managing Director of PlantWorks Ltd, said: “The support from Growing Kent & Medway will enable PlantWorks to further develop its proprietary bioreactor technology, improving yield through enhanced environmental controls and media modulation. Our ability to produce highly sterile bulk microbes using pharmaceutical techniques will enable PlantWorks to further contribute to the regenerative agriculture movement, which is essential for securing a long-term, sustainable food supply.”
A diverse range of projects have been funded, including developing fermented snacks from rescued fruits and vegetables, producing sustainable packaging from brewers’ spent grain, and optimising water and fertiliser use in indoor farming through data management platforms.
Inspro Ltd have been awarded £22,800 to fund a project on transforming food waste into animal feed and fertiliser using black soldier fly larvae. The grant will allow Inspro to provide larvae-containing bioconversion kits to local regenerative farms and smallholdings free of charge and will fund independent safety and nutritional testing of the fertiliser produced.
Corona Packaging Ltd will receive £50,000 to investigate the incorporation of seaweed into plastic blends for sustainable packaging. This will support the purchase of the raw materials required, including half a tonne of seaweed, and will allow Coronex to work with industry experts to develop the material formulation and product design.
Dr Nikki Harrison, Director of Growing Kent & Medway, said: “These grants offer a diverse range of businesses the opportunity to pursue commercial innovation and sustainability projects in Kent and Medway’s outstanding food and drink sectors.
The projects we’ve funded strengthen our region’s position as the leading British innovation cluster for these sectors, whilst growing an inclusive culture of sustainable entrepreneurship and building resilience across the UK’s horticultural supply chains.”
This autumn, Kent business leaders and HR professionals can gain valuable insights and practical guidance about the predicted changes in employment law under the new Labour government.
On 16 October, leading Kent law firm, Furley Page, in partnership with Kent Invicta Chamber of Commerce, will present a seminar providing an overview of forthcoming changes to employment law, following the new Labour Government’s pledge to introduce a very ambitious and wide-ranging programme of employment law reform. These reforms have been described by the CIPD as amounting to the biggest transformation of workers’ rights in a generation.
The session will cover a range of employment law topics focussing on predicted legislative changes under the Employment Rights Bill and other proposed legislation with guidance on how to prepare for these changes. Subjects include day one unfair dismissal rights, flexible working, sexual harassment, zero hours contracts, employment status, the right to switch off, changes to National Minimum Wage and changes to Statutory Sick Pay.
The session will be delivered by employment law experts Andrew Masters, Partner and Head of Employment, and Patrick Glencross, Senior Associate. Andrew said: “Employment law is not only nuanced but also subject to frequent changes, particularly as a result of the recent change of government. It’s crucial for employers and HR professionals to stay informed to navigate these changes effectively.
“Labour has pledged to introduce legislation within the first 100 days of this parliament, with implementation likely in 2025. Our seminar will provide the necessary insights to help businesses prepare for these significant shifts in employment law. These seminars usually prove very popular, so delegates are urged to book as soon as possible to secure their place.”
Paul Brooks, Marketing and Events Manager at Kent Invicta Chamber of Commerce said: “This seminar is an excellent opportunity for local businesses to stay ahead of upcoming legal changes. By partnering with Furley Page, we ensure that our members have access to the latest, most relevant legal expertise, which is vital for maintaining compliance and protecting their businesses.”
The seminar will be held on 16 October 2024 at Kent Invicta Chamber of Commerce, Ashford Business Point, Sevington, Ashford, TN24 0LH. The session starts at 8.30am and finishes at noon. Kent Invicta Chamber members receive a discounted rate of £40 + vat, while the cost for non-members is £50 + vat.
The seminar is aimed at business leaders and professionals with responsibility for human resources and people management in their organisation. For more information about Furley Page visit www.furleypage.co.uk or call 01227 763939. You can also follow the firm on X @furleypage and on LinkedIn.
Wombwell Hall Care Home proudly announces the completion of the first phase of its ambitious £5.5 million development project aimed at providing dedicated dementia care in luxurious and meticulously designed surroundings.
This new development, christened “Copperfield,” honours the area’s rich connection to Charles Dickens and marks a significant milestone in dementia care in the region.
The Copperfield phase introduces 22 ensuite rooms and four suites providing an additional level of luxury with TV seating area and private access to patio garden area, equipped with state-of-the-art care facilities. The emphasis on creating a thriving environment for those living with dementia is evident in every detail of the development.
The new amenities, which include a bistro, beauty salon, private dining areas, and a 24-hour manned reception, are designed not only for comfort and convenience but also to promote a high quality of life.
Central to the development’s ethos is the balance between independent living and a safe, secure environment. Two general-use kitchens, quiet lounges, family rooms, and private patio areas provide residents with spaces to engage in everyday activities, socialise, and relax with their family and friends. The home’s design, developed in collaboration with a specialist in dementia care, ensures that every aspect—from the choice of furniture to the selection of wallpaper—supports safety, wayfinding, and reduced confusion, fostering a harmonious living environment.
Local historian and historical advisor to Swanscombe & Greenhithe Town Council, Christoph Bull, played a crucial role in integrating the rich history of Gravesham into the home. The Copperfield phase celebrates not only Charles Dickens but also pays homage to other local historical figures and landmarks, such as the real-life princess Pocahontas, who is buried at St. George’s Church, and the now demolished grand stately mansion of Wombwell Hall itself. These historical references are thoughtfully woven throughout the home, creating a familiar and comforting atmosphere that encourages residents to reminisce and feel at home whilst still being connected to the local community.
The investment in Wombwell Hall Care Home is a testament to the commitment to providing exceptional dementia care. Following the successful completion of the Copperfield phase, the care home is swiftly moving on to the second phase of development, named “Pickwick.” This next phase promises to offer comprehensive dementia nursing care, further enhancing the care home’s capacity to support the community’s needs.
Wombwell Hall Care Home’s groundbreaking development sets a new standard for dementia care facilities. By combining luxurious surroundings with the latest in care innovations, the home is poised to become a beacon of excellence in the region, ensuring that residents living with dementia receive the highest standard of care in an environment designed to support their independence and well-being.
Adam Hutchison, Managing Director of Belmont Healthcare owners of Wombwell Hall Care Home said: “Completing the first phase of our development is a significant achievement for Wombwell Hall Care Home. Our goal has always been to create an environment where people living with dementia can thrive, feel safe, and enjoy a high quality of life. By integrating the latest in care facilities with a deep respect for the rich history of Gravesham, we’ve created a truly unique space that both residents, their families, and our care teams can cherish. We are excited to move forward with the next phase of our project, continuing our commitment to providing exceptional care and support to our community.”
When fully completed, the home will offer 102 rooms including 60 ensuite bedrooms and larger suites, employing 100 people to ensure the running and caring of the home 24/7.
Claire Skinner, Manager at Wombwell Hall Care Home says: “We feel tremendously lucky to be bestowed with this bespoke facility and are excited to move forward with the next phase of our project, continuing our commitment to providing exceptional care and support to our community.”

Charities and good causes across Kent in need of a cash boost are being encouraged to sign-up to a new fundraising initiative launched by Central Park Stadium in Sittingbourne.
The greyhound racing venue will host its first Fund-Racer on Saturday, October 26, with six teams of up to 100 guests each invited trackside to raise up to £900 for their chosen cause.
Charities, sports clubs, community centres and individual fundraisers are invited to take part with Central Park distributing 100 free tickets to each team to sell on to friends, family, colleagues or supporters of a particular cause.
All profits generated from ticket sales are retained by the fundraiser, with each team having the chance to top-up monies raised on the night by striking it lucky in a trap challenge competition between other groups in attendance.
It’s an opportunity for groups to raise up to £900 on the night, and Central Park Stadium General Manager Hayley Huntley is encouraging teams to register before spaces fill up.
“We recognise times are challenging financially for many good local causes,” said Hayley. “Asking people to part with their cash can be difficult, so the Fund-Racer is our solution to supporting groups and individuals raising money for a particular cause.
“Ticket sales alone have the potential to raise up to £800, so we encourage anyone interested in learning more to get in touch with our team today.
“We’ve deliberately extended spaces to organisations outside the charity sector too. We appreciate there is a huge volume of sports clubs and community centres who can use our Fund-Racer to help fund new equipment or provisions that will serve a positive purpose to local people.
“We’re excited by the Fund-Racer’s potential and hope it can make a difference to Sittingbourne and the surrounding areas.”
Charities, sports clubs and other good causes interested in registering for Central Park’s Fund-Racer on Saturday, October 26, should email info@centralpark-greyhounds.co.uk or call 01795 475547.
Doors open on the night at 5.30pm with the first race beginning approximately an hour later.
Azets, the international advisory, outsourcing and compliance Group, has welcomed 102 new graduates and school leavers across its South region.
They are among 333 who have joined Azets’ UK business in the past 12 months, with 201 joining in autumn 2024.
In total, Azets UK will have 817 colleagues studying towards a professional qualification.
Investment in the next generation of talented business advisors is a key strategy for Azets, as it continues to deepen its specialist expertise and expand its high-quality advisory services to ambitious businesses and their owners across all UK regions.
Azets offers a varied career path for early careers professionals, with the option to work across different parts of the country and to develop specialist skills in diverse areas of accounting and business advisory, from general practice and tax to corporate finance, trade, and restructuring.
Damien Russell, Azets UK Chief People Officer said: “At Azets, we believe that nurturing young talent is fundamental to the future of our business and the success of our clients. Welcoming 333 new graduates and school leavers this year is a testament to our commitment to building a diverse and dynamic workforce.

A fast-expanding vehicle accident repair business with two sites in Kent is targeting further growth following the seven-figure acquisition of another vehicle repair business in the county.
Zeus Accident Repair Ltd, which was established in 2018 and is owned by cousins George and Joe Stavrinidis, has bought Dartford-based A Pile and Son Ltd in a deal supported by PMD Business Finance.
The deal will see Zeus invest significantly in A Pile and Son’s 24,000 sq ft Dartford-based repair centre, complementing its existing hi-tech centres in Rochester and Sittingbourne. The Dartford centre will be rebranded as Zeus Accident Repair London.
Both businesses are known for their specialism in providing accident repair services for some of the UK’s top insurance groups and vehicle rental firms. Between them they employ 34 staff and undertake thousands of vehicle repairs each year, predominantly on behalf of corporates with a proportion of private vehicle work.
George Stavrinidis, director of Zeus Accident Repair, said: “We’re really excited by the potential of our new Dartford centre which gives us significant additional capacity, including the space to do a lot more van repair work.
“We’re proud to welcome the fantastic team from A Pile and Son into the Zeus family and providing certainty and continuity for its clients. They will benefit from our approach to using the very latest technology and this will enable us to modernise operations at Dartford in line with our Rochester and Sittingbourne sites.”
PMD Business Finance, one of the UK’s largest independent business finance firms, provided a seven-figure funding package to Zeus which includes a commercial mortgage to acquire the property at Dartford.
John Platt, from the structured finance team at PMD Business Finance, said: “George is a real entrepreneurial character who I’ve worked with several times over the years to support his business growth aspirations.
“The finance package we have put in place gives Zeus the strong foundations it needs to successfully integrate A Pile and Son Ltd into Zeus and continue growing. The deal demonstrates our expertise in providing flexible finance options to support business acquisitions, as well as underlining our experience in the automotive sector.”
The acquisition of A Pile and Son Ltd by Zeus enables its existing shareholders to retire after 30 years of running the business.
The A Pile and Son name can trace its history in Dartford back to the 1940s. It was originally a cycle and motorcycle retailer, later becoming a haulage and coach-building business, before diversifying into vehicle repairs in the 1960s.
Georgi Brooker, a practising NHS nurse, is leading a mission to transform and champion safer aesthetics treatments in Ashford, Kent through her practice, Sorella Aesthetics.
With over a decade of experience in advanced clinical practice, Georgi saw a gap in the availability of safe, medical aesthetic services in the area. This inspired her to take action.
“I had always been fascinated by the science behind aesthetics. But when I realised that some practitioners were providing treatments without proper medical knowledge, I knew I had to step in.” said Georgi.
She continued, “Non-medical clinics can put their clients at risk of complications because they often lack the necessary understanding of human anatomy, the potential side effects and how to handle emergencies. It’s not just about achieving the desired look – it’s about ensuring the safety and wellbeing of the client.”
Using her existing medical knowledge, Georgi trained with the prestigious SkinViva Clinic in Manchester. Alongside her sister, Danni, she then opened Sorella Aesthetics in June 2023 with the aim to provide a suite of safe aesthetic services, including Anti Wrinkle Injections, Dermal Fillers, Polynucleotides and Skin Boosters.
The duo also provides a range of skincare services, including HydraFacial, Microneedling and Chemical Peels.
Like Georgi, Danni is a senior mental health nurse who attended the prestigious Derma Medical Clinic in London.
Together, Georgi and Danni provide solutions for ageing, acne prone skin, dry and dehydrated skin, volume loss and more.
“Given our deep understanding of anatomy, Danni and I are able to approach every client holistically, adopting a full face ethos that addresses individual concerns for long term results.” said Georgi.
She continued“We don’t believe in quick fixes. Instead, we’re focused on providing safe, effective and sustainable treatments that enhance our client’s natural beauty. We work with ageing clients, clients with acne, loose skin and a variety of other concerns. We consult with each and every client who visits us to identify a bespoke course of treatment.”
In the year that’s followed, Georgi has leveraged her extensive medical background and complications training to safely treat hundreds of patients across Kent. She’s even expanded her clinic to provide medical services, including cryosurgery and hormonal blood tests.
In December 2023, Georgi and Danni were handpicked by the Nurses Network, a central hub connecting practitioners across the UK, to represent the South East of England. And in July 2024, the clinic was accredited by Save Face, an official register for practitioners who have been inspected and verified to meet the highest standards of care.
As the aesthetics industry continues to boom, Georgi remains dedicated to her mission of making medical clinics the go-to for anyone seeking a cosmetic treatment. She also hopes to educate other practitioners through her esteemed role in the Nurses Network.
Looking ahead, she plans on moving Sorella Aesthetics to a larger premise to better accommodate her glowing clientele.
For more information on the safe, medical treatments available at Sorella Aesthetics, visit their website. You can find Georgi’s clinic in Unit 48, Kent Space on Wotton Road in Ashford.
Independent veterinary group, Pennard Vets, which has eight practices across Kent, has set its sights on raising more than £2,500 for the local branch of the National Search And Rescue Dog Association (NSARDA).
Pennard Vets’ 155 strong team, who are all owners and stakeholders in the business as part of its employee ownership trust (EOT), voted on which charity to support for at least the next 12 months, and the team are now organising a packed calendar of events and activities to hit the target.
The NSARDA specialises in taking members of the public and their pet dogs and turning them into highly qualified search and rescue teams, to assist in searching for people in a wide range of scenarios including those who may be missing, trapped in collapsed buildings, stranded in water or even deceased.
The NSARDA represents search dog associations located throughout the UK and is linked locally to Kent Search and Rescue, which assists the emergency services in searching for high risk and vulnerable missing persons, where there is often a threat to life.
Stuart Kenny, chairman of the National Search And Rescue Dog Association and longtime member of the Kent branch, said: “On average we see between 60 and 90 cases a year but there’s no pattern and often they come in fits and starts. Our unique strength is our dogs can pick up the scent of someone from hundreds of metres away and even in the most horrible weather conditions and terrain.
“We’re all volunteers and we travel all over Kent to respond to calls, often at our own expense. However, it’s very rewarding because of the huge impact you can have on people – whether it’s the missing person or their family. In addition, the other side of the role sees us taking members of the public and their pets, who initially know nothing about search and rescue, and training them to take on a lot of responsibility.”
Stuart added: “We’re entirely self-reliant and dependent on fundraising to train new volunteers and provide equipment to our team. It typically costs £2,500 to kit out a dog team with safety equipment, radios, specialist clothing and training, so we’re delighted to now have the support of Pennard Vets, which will make a big difference and help to make Kent a safer place for everyone.”
Imogen Birch, from Pennard Vets, added: “NSARDA do amazing work and because everyone at Pennard Vets loves anything with four legs, voting them as our chosen charity was an easy thing to do. The charity also hosted several members of our team at a recent training day, which gave us the opportunity to see first-hand how they work and the difference they make.
“We all came away feeling reassured that we have such a dedicated team of search professionals in Kent. We’re now organising all types of events to support them, including a bake sale, a CaniCross run, which is a sponsored run with a dog, and lots of fun games and competitions. The way that our entire team is embracing the challenge is fantastic to see.”
Pennard Vets was founded in Sevenoaks, Kent in 1890 and has eight practices, employing a 155-strong team, throughout Kent in Allington, Borough Green, Langley Park, Maidstone, Sevenoaks, Tonbridge and West Malling.

Additionally, John is a member of the income tax sub-committee of the Law Society and is frequently involved in government discussions on new legislation affecting the taxation of employment income and investment funds. John’s appointment is timely following the government’s proposed to changes to the tax treatment of carried interest and with further changes to capital gains tax.
Nigel Bostock, Chief Executive, Crowe, said:
“I am delighted to welcome Adam and James to the partnership, hot off the heels of our recent acquisition of Dendy Neville. As a firm, we are committed to providing a first-class service to clients and will continue to strengthen our market-leading teams by attracting top talent as the opportunity arises.”

Gillingham-based hand protection manufacturer Unigloves is celebrating a double accolade after being named in the top 100 UK’s Best Workplaces for Women™ just a few weeks after ranking in the top 100 UK’s Best Workplaces for Well-Being.
The 2024 UK’s Best Workplaces for Women™ List is made up of employers whose people have told Great Place To Work® UK they work for an organisation that is inclusive and equitable for all.
The 330 companies on the list are committed to ensuring a reasonable balance of women and men across the organisation; removing barriers to women’s career advancement; and creating workplaces where all employees, regardless of gender, can flourish.
As part of the award criteria in the small business category, 95% of employees at Unigloves (UK) say it is a great place to work*, compared to 54% of employees at a typical UK based company.
The UK’s Best Workplace for Women accolade comes quick on the heels of Unigloves being named in the top 100 for UK Best Workplaces forWell-Being, a double recognition that Unigloves UK MD Chris Wahlers is delighted the business has been recognised for.
“We are really thrilled to have received both these best workplace awards and I am proud of what that says about our business. From the outset we wanted to create a business at Unigloves that puts its people first and which operates with integrity, honesty, care and most certainly equal opportunity. We are a family here at Unigloves, everyone cares about the business, and we are pulling collectively in the right direction so to achieve both these awards independently feels like a testament to our ethos. I want Unigloves to be seen as a good company doing things in the right way and thanks to that and the team we have – great things are happening,” said Chris.
Benedict Gautrey, Managing Director of Great Place to Work UK adds:
“Workplaces are only great if they’re great for all employees. For seven years, the UK’s Best Workplaces for Women™ List has been paving the way by tackling discrimination, removing barriers to women’s advancement in their careers, and challenging taboos around subjects like the menopause, and endometriosis.
“Importantly, each of the companies on the list have been commended by their own female employees through their anonymous feedback that told us their workplace has gone above and beyond to ensure that women employees are treated fairly in terms of recognition, training, and promotion opportunities.”
A series of events and initiatives culminate in remarkable fundraising achievements by Med-Tech company Bedfont® and NewMed.
Bedfont® Scientific Ltd. world leaders in breath analysis, with over 47 years of expertise in the design and manufacture of medical breath analysis devices, welcomed the roaming Shaun the Sheep sculpture to its offices on Friday, 26th July, for the exciting announcement. Bedfont® teamed up with NewMed Ltd. earlier in the year to sponsor and support Heart of Kent Hospice and its various charity events throughout the year, and are extremely proud to have contributed to raising over £28,000.
Heart of Kent Hospice, based in Aylesford, is a charity with a passion for improving quality of life and provides specialist care and support to adults with terminal illnesses. Bedfont®, along with NewMed, have been actively involved in a variety of fundraising events for Heart of Kent Hospice, and have been engaging employees and the community to support this worthy cause.
In May, Bedfont® participated in the Bluebell Walk, following a picturesque walk through the North Downs and raised substantial funds through sponsorships and raffles. Bedfont® also proudly sponsored a beautiful Shaun the Sheep sculpture for the Hospice’s Shaun in the Heart of Kent art trail, the event not only highlights local artistry but also draws significant attention to the hospice’s mission. Additionally, Bedfont® took part in the Shaun the Sheep Selfie Challenge, capturing joyful moments and sharing them widely to further boost donations and awareness.
Jason Smith, Managing Director at Bedfont® Scientific Ltd., comments “At Bedfont®, we believe in the power of community and the importance of giving back. Our partnership with NewMed Ltd. and our ongoing support for the hospice, reflect our commitment to making a positive impact on the lives of those around us. We look forward to continuing our efforts and exploring new ways to support Heart of Kent Hospice in the future”.
David Dadswell, Corporate Partnerships Manager at Heart of Kent Hospice, commented “Collaborating with the local business community plays a pivotal role in the Hospice’s strategy, and allows us to create increased awareness of the services we provide and supports our fundraising events to deliver the best experience for all those who participate. Both Bedfont® Scientific and NewMed fully immersed themselves into the recent Bluebell Walk as headline sponsors, exhibitors, and participants and through their efforts, we raised over £28,000. It’s the perfect partnership between organisations that have strong values around healthcare and a commitment to giving back to their local communities.

A NATIONAL flooring has opened the doors to its first store in Kent, following a £150,000 investment.
Flooring Superstore chose the town of Ashford for the opening of its newest retail store on Mace Lane.
The 3,580 square foot store, which opened to customers on 27th July, has created three new jobs for local people, and forms part of an expansion programme being carried out by Flooring Superstore which started life as an ecommerce retailer in 2012.
Ashford becomes the retailer’s 43rd UK store.
Flooring Superstore Regional Manager Ian Robinson said: “We are delighted to have been able to open our first store in Kent and particularly in such a vibrant town as Ashford.
“The location so close to the town centre makes it ideal for people who shop on the High Street but with good road links and parking, it will also attract those from further afield, so it ticks all the right boxes for us.”
Visitors to the store will have access to a wide range of quality flooring such as carpets, vinyl, laminate, real wood, luxury vinyl tiles, ceramic tiles and the UK’s largest selection of artificial grass.
Ian added: “We offer a unique experience when it comes to buying flooring, not only because we have everything under one roof but also because we offer a service that is unrivalled in the flooring industry. We look to provide customers with a complete expert guide through the complicated flooring journey.
“We also utilise cutting-edge technology such as the use of augmented reality (AR) to help them visualise what flooring may look like in their own homes before they make a purchase.”
In just 12 years Flooring Superstore has grown from purely being an online retailer to becoming one of the leading flooring retailers in the UK, with outlets stretching from Glasgow in the north, to Plymouth in the south and from Norwich in the east to Swansea in the west.
One of the UK’s leading food disruptors has a new name after it announced it has passed the 65-product milestone.
‘Nim’s…NaturallyÔ’ has been registered by entrepreneur Nimisha Raja MBE to reflect the company’s growing range of products that have diversified from air-dried fruit and vegetable crisps to incorporate drink garnishes, botanicals, ingredients and edible teas.
This has seen the Sittingbourne-based business become the driving force in healthy products across several categories, all made using just one ingredient – a fact that has played a significant part in its year-on-year growth.
The company, which employs 18 people at its BRC-accredited factory, is also now preparing to launch a range of air-dried ingredients under its Let’s Cook and Let’s Bake brands.
“When we started it was all about our air-dried fruit crisps and that was reflected in our original identity,” explained Nimisha Raja, who launched the business in 2017.
“Whilst our crisps are still hugely popular, our new product development team has been in overdrive and we needed an overarching brand that touched on all the different things we make and supply into retail and food service, including Holland & Barrett, Pret a Manger, Zizzi and a host of others.”
She went on to add: “The one thing that is constant is that all our products are made using just ONE ingredient and that is why we wanted to trademark ‘Nim’s…NaturallyÔ’.
“I want shoppers to pick up one of our products – whether it is crisps, drink garnishes, ingredients or teas – and immediately know that it is 100% natural.
“They don’t need to turn the pack over to look at the ingredients label, they just automatically trust that anything with our logo has been carefully processed to retain great natural flavour and nutritional goodness without absolutely anything added to flavour, preserve or enhance the one ingredient products.”
From the moment Nimisha Raja sold her coffee shop and home in 2017, she had a vision for rewriting the rule book when it came to creating great tasting, natural snacks.
It started with air-dried fruit and vegetable crisps in eight different varieties, was followed by edible teas and has now expanded into drink garnishes, botanicals and ingredients sold in over 1500 outlets across the UK.
The ‘Nim’s…NaturallyÔ’ range brings many health benefits from being fat, allergen, gluten and dairy free, whilst also being vegan friendly and Kosher and Halal certified.
“Sustainability is another big purchasing factor these days and this is something we feel really passionate about,” added Nimisha.
“We have been working towards achieving ‘Zero Food Waste’ for some time and finally achieved it in March 2023. This means that all 600 tonnes of fresh produce we use every year goes into our products, with the small amount (0.003%) that doesn’t sent to an anaerobic waste treatment plant and turned into energy.”
She concluded: “It was an eco-decision on our part, but it is also paying off financially in operational performance and the launch of new ranges that have come off the back of the ‘Zero Food Waste’ approach”.
The change in name has also seen a slight tweak to brand identity and the launch of a new website www.nimsnaturally.com.
