Vivien Wong is the co-founder of Little Moons, the cult brand that transformed a niche Japanese dessert into a household name. A bold disruptor in the global ice cream market, Vivien is a finalist for the 2025 Veuve Clicquot Bold Woman Award. In this episode, we explore Vivien's remarkable journey from helping in her mother's bakery to founding one of the UK's most talked-about brands.

From navigating Little Moons' TikTok explosion to the importance of integrity in company culture, Vivien shares the lessons she learned from scaling her values-led business. In this episode, we dive into her experiences working with family, what being woman in business means today, and what awards like Veuve Clicquot are doing to raise the visibility of female success.

If you're the founder of a scaling brand, you've likely thought about selling your business. But when should you start preparing, and how do you find the right buyer?In this episode, we discuss mergers and acquisitions with Charles Lanceley, Managing Director of Alantra's consumer team. Alantra is a leading investment bank specialising in consumer brands. Charles has worked on major deals, including Fuel 10K, Strong Roots, and Grenade, and shares what makes a brand valuable—from strong financials to a compelling investment story.He explains why building a business solely to sell is a mistake and how focusing too much on an exit can hurt your chances of achieving a great one. You'll learn why being ‘for sale' is never ideal, how the best deals happen behind the scenes, and why top M&A advisors don't just find buyers—they already know who's in the market.We also cover common founder mistakes, like underestimating due diligence and not preparing for the workload of an exit. Charles highlights how an advisor can ease this process, letting founders stay focused on running their business—because if performance dips, so does the deal's value.Finally, we discuss how private equity and trade buyers view businesses differently, the impact of market cycles, and why the best way to maximise your exit is to build a brand buyers can't ignore. Whether you're considering selling soon or just want to create a lasting brand, this episode is packed with essential insights.

With major players like Tesco, Boots, Sainsbury's, Unilever, and Procter & Gamble already on board, this is more than just a trend—it's a retail revolution.This episode explores how GenM convinced top retailers and brands to take menopause seriously and why menopause-friendly shopping is a permanent category, not a passing fad.We discuss the commercial opportunity for brands that get it right, the science-backed credibility of the MTick accreditation, and the groundbreaking launch of Tesco's first-ever permanent menopause-friendly aisle.Heather shares eye-opening insights, including the startling reality that only 5% of women feel confident navigating menopause, and just 2% feel they are thriving.

Going viral is something many businesses would kill for but having to scale up your business to meet rocketing demand is not easy.  Little Moons makes mochi ice cream, a type of Japanese rice cake with an ice cream filling. Vivien Wong co-founded the business with her brother in 2010 after spending two years developing the product with her father in her parents' bakery. Over the next decade the company grew steadily and surely, until the company went viral on TikTok during the pandemic and sales suddenly rocketed. However, after being hit by supply chain woes and Brexit, they had hardly any stock left to meet the demand.  Listen to find out how they got through it and grew their revenue from 7 to 27 million in just two years.  We'd love your feedback: hello@secretleaders.com Sponsor links: eveyln.com/secretleaders svb.com/uk transparent.biz/SL vanta.com/secretleaders

Vivien Wong is the co-founder of Little Moons, a mochi ice cream brand. Vivien grew up in North West London and spent many of her formative years helping out at her parent's bakery. It was there that her passion for high quality ingredients and artisanal recipes was first sparked. She went on to study at the University of Reading before beginning her career at Barclays where she qualified as a chartered accountant and worked for four years. Spotting the opportunity to bring mochi ice cream to Europe and believing that her and her brother Howard were in the perfect position to do so, she left her job in the city and set up Little Moons in 2010. It took two years to perfect the process and recipes before Little Moons began selling their mochi into restaurants, including high street favourites such as Yo! Sushi and Wagamama as well as higher end restaurants like Nobu and Sushi Samba. The business went from strength to strength and in 2015 Little Moons launched into Whole Foods, subsequently gaining listings on Ocado in 2016 and in Waitrose in 2017. Little Moons is now available across a range of supermarkets including Tesco, Sainsbury's, Morrison's and Asda. Connect with Vivien Wong via: LinkedIn.Find out more about Little Moons via: website, Instagram, Twitter, TikTok and Facebook.A new episode EVERY WEEK, showcasing the journeys of inspirational entrepreneurs, side hustlers and their mentors.

The Blue Plaster Podcast by Young Foodies sets out to be the voice of young F&B businesses in the UK. Using a blend of industry news, feature interviews, brand spotlights and maybe the occasional ranty moment, we're looking to provide a positive, energetic but always realistic view on the life of food entrepreneurs and those people bonkers/brave enough to join them on the journey. This week we speak to Vivien Wong, Co-Founder of Little Moons, and close friend of YF. Following a bumper three year growth period and recent investment process, Vivien opens up to Andy and Thea about the highs, lows and realities of the Little Moons journey.

In this episode of The Interview series, host Karl McKeever sits down with Little Moons CEO and co-founder Vivien Wong.Vivien Wong and her brother Howard can thank a random TikTok video for delivering a huge boost in demand for Little Moons, their brand of frozen mochi balls. As children growing up in their parents' bakery in London, Vivien (and her brother Howard), were surrounded by a passion for creating amazing food and learnt how the little things combine to make a big different. From finding the best ingredients to always innovating with techniques and flavours. In 2010, they set up Little Moons; making a Japanese-inspired dessert called "mochi”. After enjoying steady growth, the company set up a Little Moons TikTok account and began posting videos… and then things began to get really interesting. Soon they had over 500 million views, sales skyrocketed by 2,000%, and the London-based business hit £36m in retail sales in the year to July last year. Discover the success story of this TikTok (and taste) sensation, as we speak to its CEO and co-founder Vivien Wong.

FoodBev Media's Antonia Garrett Peel rounds up this week's food and beverage news, including: Coca-Cola, PepsiCo and McDonald's join list of companies suspending operations in Russia; Nestlé to invest $675m in construction of Arizona factory; Little Moons sells stake to investor L Catterton; and more.

We go through Ross' background, his journey into Marketing and the insight and tips he's picked up along the way.

While he has no regrets, he does mention the importance of bringing balance into life and the importance of changing focus into what makes you happy.

Manufacturing a frozen product, building a white label success into a one of a kind retail brand and creating a family business, with Howard & Vivien - co-founders of Little Moons, makers of delicious, high quality mochi. For this episode, we chatted to siblings and co-founders of Little Moons, Howard and Vivien.

We heard how Little Moons began by selling their mochi into some of the UK's best known restaurants before developing into a hugely successful retail brand - still the only producers of mochi in the UK and now being name checked on those very restaurant menus. We also talked about the challenges of gaining space in store, how their innovative 'pick n mix' concept has been received in different markets and the importance of quality - and building a brand known for this. There's so much to learn from this hugely inspiring episode - we suggest you listen while snacking on a mochi...or four!
