William Kendall, the mastermind behind some of Britain's most iconic household food and beverage brands (New Covent Garden Soup Company, Green & Black's, Cawston Press) has a talent for turning small beginnings into remarkable success stories. Starting out on his family farm in Suffolk, through to studying law, qualifying as a barrister, moving into investment banking then completing an MBA in France, he surprisingly found himself ‘rather unemployable'. Discovering this, he went full circle, back to his roots in working with food and joined the team at New Covent Garden Soup Company when they were still in their infancy. Building the brand up to a supermarket mainstay, his next mission was to make organic chocolate irresistibly appealing at the pioneering British fair-trade brand, Green & Black's. Amongst the plethora of roles he holds, he serves as an investor and consultant to a variety of emerging brands as well as chairman of Cawston Press, the British soft drink brand. In this conversation, Micah and William chat through what William sees as key to his success, how he approaches leadership and valuable insights for small brands seeking funding from investors. One thing is for sure, William has a knack for building great brands on the foundations of great products.

The government imposed Sugar Levy that came into effect in 2018 changed the face of the sugar-sweetened soft drinks dramatically. Drinks that used added sugar and hit a sugar content of 5% or over would have to pay 18p per litre of drink, and 24p if they surmounted 8%. Listen to Micah talk about how how most brand responded to this, and the reason Cawston Press chose the route that they did.If you enjoy this best bite, please consider listening to the full episode.If you have any suggestions for future episode topics, please email them to hello@tastehead.comFollow Brandt and Micah:https://www.linkedin.com/in/brandt-maybury/https://www.linkedin.com/in/micah-carr-hill-34a91811/Visit https://www.tastehead.com/ to learn more

#149 - Harry Turpin - Founder of snack bar company The Savourists LTD Harry has always craved the buzz and passion of entrepreneurial spirit, from setting up event nights at uni, to founding a savoury snack brand for foodie thrill-seekers. After studying Musical Theatre at university, he started his career at Cawston Press, swapping the tights and tap shoes for walking the streets of London selling soft drinks. Cawston Press was his education in creating a successful brand. He learned first-hand from leaders in the industry and oversaw the highs, lows and hard work that go into starting and scaling a business. The passion and focus of the senior management created an immersive culture, and he fell in love with the industry. Whilst at Cawston Press the sugar tax was introduced and it encouraged him to think outside the box. What other categories needed shaking up? A savoury lover himself, Harry spotted an opportunity to reinvigorate the snack-bar market with something totally new and unique he has only just started his journey but knows there's a LOT more to come! Founders365 is hosted by business coach Steven Haggerty and shares 365 insights from 365 founders during 2020.

Focus, Purpose & Leadership I decided to create this podcast because in my 40 year career in the advertising, communications and brand strategy worlds, I've come to learn about the fundamental importance of clarity and purpose. Or in my terms, the value of having a 'single organising principle, a principle that a business would live or die by that is single minded and focused and helpful in consistent decision making. In this series I'll be chatting to leaders who have put this into practice whilst developing their own successful businesses. Robert Bean Every business wants an elevator pitch. Sadly few have a truly compelling one. One that’s as motivating internally as it is meaningful externally. Businesses who own such a statement are better aligned, more focussed, more efficient and, ultimately, more profitable. Having worked with BMW and ‘The Ultimate Driving Machine’, Honda and ‘The Power of Dreams’, BT and ‘It’s Good to Talk’, Homebase and ‘Make a House a Home’ and many others, it’s clear to see the focus these statements have provided their owners. Robert is a strategic business consultancy that helps CEOs and Boards define and express their business’ most powerful proposition. In a single sentence. It’s called your ‘Single Organising Principle.’ Once articulated, we help bring it to life across the organisation’s culture, its products & services and reputation.

Steve Kearns from Cawston Press pays us a visit and we also chat with Kevin Srithevan, founder of Früt There have been plenty of fireworks whizzing and popping around this week, and although Guy Fawkes night has passed, this podcast will have you doing cartwheels. That's right…it may now be dark when you leave the office in the evening but we still strive to lighten your lives with a bit of FoodTalk. This week we've got a brand that you should all be quite familiar with. With the numbers of people who drink alcohol dropping, there is plenty of room for growth in the soft drinks industry. Cawston Press are definitely taking advantage. Steve Kearns came to our studio to explain how the brand have managed to rise above their many competitors to install themselves as a regular fixture in our fridges and cupboards with their sparkling juices. Also on the show this week is a company looking to help you this winter. As already discussed, it's dark when you leave the office and it's barely bright when you wake up in the mornings. The last thing you want to be doing in the evening is heading to a supermarket. Online grocery shopping is undergoing a huge boom at the moment and we heard from Kevin Srithevan, who is winning plaudits with his Früt company. Keep your eyes on these guys...delivering to a doorstep near you soon.

Of all the things to be known for, building famous companies and exiting them with piles of cash, repeatedly, would be close to the top of most people’s list. William Kendall has had the kind of career that if proposed in a movie script might be poo-pooed by the studio as being ‘too farfetched’. But with New Covent Garden Soup Co and Green & Blacks, the farfetched was made a reality. Who would bet against his current businesses, Cawston Press and LA Brewery? Not I. If you are interested in anything to do with farming, food, trends, entrepreneurialism, careers and life planning then this will not be a wasted hour.
In this week's Planet Pod podcast, hosts Amanda and Steve are talking with guests Steve Kearns (MD of Cawston Press), Mickey Reedy (Co-Director of This is Rubbish) and David Rumble (Bywaters) about all things rubbish from food, food waste, packaging, recycling and MRFs!

Season 1. Episode 3: Mark Palmer, Director of Green & Black’s Jonathan Ford, Designer and Founding Creative Partner of Pearlfisher, speaks to the people behind the brands of the future who understand the need to harness creativity, design and bold ideas to create success. Here Jonathan speaks to Mark Palmer, Director of Green & Black’s. Mark Palmer is well known for his role as Marketing Director of Green & Black’s organic chocolate. When he took on the role in 2001 Green & Black’s was a niche chocolate brand. Under Mark’s leadership, sales rose from £4m to over £60m, ultimately leading to international expansion and a full acquisition by Cadbury for an undisclosed sum (thought to be around £20M). The brand continues to grow under Mondelez. Mark now works as a Non-Executive Director for Green & Black’s and Marketing Director for juice brand Cawston Press. Mark also runs his own marketing consultancy, listing Pret A Manger and Goodwood Estate among his clients. http://www.pearlfisher.com Subscribe to the series via iTunes: http://itun.es/i6JK87y
