In conversation with Rachel Kettlewell & Giles Brook.
Meet Rachel, Founder of Fearne & Rosie and Great British Entrepreneur of the Year 2023.
Rachel launched Fearne & Rosie in 2019 in the rolling hills of Yorkshire. As an ex-teacher, Rachel is passionate about creating healthy change for children and families. That’s why she developed a range of reduced sugar jams, because she wants there to be readily available, healthier, tastier, happier choices for children and their families.
It’s why Fearne & Rosie are a Certified B Corp and supporters of Children in Need.
Meet Giles, renowned as a disruptor within FMCG for the role he has played in challenger brands including innocent, BEAR, Vita Coco, Bio & Me, Pip & Nut and of course Fearne & Rosie.
Giles is passionate about sustainability, social responsibility and the founders behind the businesses he backs. Within his portfolio 80% of the companies are B-Corp and 60% are female-founded, including Moody Month & Obu Invest.
“The main reason I’m an angel investor is for enjoyment, not for the financial reward. In my mind, every category needs a challenger brand and I love finding and working with these founders”.
