Taking control…in a greenhouse
May 18th, 2009 by hbourneBeing green fingered myself and a lover of good food I was particularly pleased to be alerted to the story of Andrew Johnson in the Guardian. He was made redundant in 2004 but is now running a business expected to turnover more than £1m next year.
His business is Living Salads, a great supermarket alternative to the chlorine filled bags of salad you get offered. His living alternative works in a similar way to the pots of herbs you are probably used to buying.
Great idea and a great business – well done Andrew. A great inspiration for anyone else who has been made redundant and fancies going it alone!

As someone who is bit (tad of understatement) of a foodie I’m a huge fan of some of our entrepreneurs who work with food. I love Priya and her sauces, Vincent and his salads (this is clearly all the rage) and Fraser and his super jam. These entrepreneurs have all taken control and seem to be making a tasty profit. Yum
