In episode 60, Simon talks to Pippa Murray. Pip Murray, 32, is the Founder of Pip & Nut, an award-winning food brand that launched to market in January 2015. Over the last five years, she's been shaking up the healthy food and drink sector with her range of naturally nutritious nut butters and recently launched nut butter cups. Pip & Nut is now the fastest growing nut butter brand in the UK and is a certified B corporation. As a self-confessed peanut butter addict, Pip had the inspiration for the brand after searching, unsuccessfully, in the supermarkets for a range of peanut butters that were free from palm oil. With no options available, she started making her own natural range of products in her kitchen with her blender, before trailing them at Maltby Street Market. Today Pip & Nut can be found in over 5,500 stores around the UK and Ireland. Her mission for the brand is to help people love food that loves them and break down the perception that choosing a ‘better for you' option has to feel like a sacrifice. Amongst other accolades, Pip was most recently named in the Evening Standard Progress 1000, London's Most Influential People 2019 and the ‘Start-Up Entrepreneur of the Year' at the Natwest Great British Entrepreneur Awards.

This week, I am joined by fantastic Pippa Murray, Founder of Pip & Nut, the award-winning, fastest growing nut butter brand in the UK. Pip followed a career path that was far from traditional, going from anthropology, to theatre, to entrepreneurship - founding a business that started as an idea while preparing for a marathon. We discuss Pip & Nut’s outstanding growth over the years, with 2020 being their first profitable year thus far, in spite of Covid. We chat about their recognition as a B-corp business, balancing long term goals and short term wins, building culture, and the importance of user-generated content. Pip also shares how her entrepreneurial streak came from her resilience and determination when growing up with dyslexia. This shaped her into the inspiring female leader she is today, having won a plethora of awards including Natwest Everywoman Award, and being listed in Forbes’ 30 under 30. Pip & Nut is such a fabulous business, emerging triumphant from what has been an incredibly tough year, and Pip’s passion for her brand is unrivalled. So without further ado, sit back, relax and enjoy this episode of, I Shouldn’t Say This, But.
As food and drink lovers, we couldn't let Valentine's Day pass without helping you create some lovely cocktails for a special evening. Whether it's your husband, wife, boyfriend, girlfriend, dog or cat – this episode of the FoodTalk Show is best enjoyed over a candlelit dinner with that special person or thing in your life. We're incredibly lucky to welcome Paul McFadyen to our studio. Paul is a master of cocktail mixing and a brand ambassador for Maison Ferrand – a producer of fine spirits. Not only did he tell us a bit about the brand and educate us on alcohol, he also whipped up some amazing cocktails for our gracious presenting team. We know you can't taste these through the airwaves, but just take our word for it, they're delicious. Sue got a bit carried away and already feeling merry on the cocktails, was delighted to welcome the amazing Pippa Murray back on to The FoodTalk Show. You can't have missed her Pip & Nut peanut butters in all of the major supermarkets, and here she tells her amazing story from museum worker to award winning entrepreneur.
While we usually talk to the founders of restaurants or bars today I have a very special guest - Pippa Murray - founder of Pip and Nut peanut butter. I wanted to bring Pippa onto the show not only because she is literally every entrepreneurs dream scenario- she left her 9-5 job to test a product out that she made herself which was instantly profitable and 5 years on from inception it is worth nearly 20 million.But she categorically changed the much neglected nut butter industry with her innovative package design of the nut butter sachets for on the go consumption. She transformed how we all perceive nut butters as a food and introduced new ways for us to use them.She essentially livened up a snack that was perceived as unhealthy and dull.If you're an entrepreneur yourself, you'll want to take notes during this episode, she gives a lot of useful tips.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/your-tables-ready.

Let's talk about the business of wellness… Created out of a love of peanut butter on toast after a long run, Pip Murray founded Pip & Nut with the aim to offer a natural alternative to a stagnant nut butter market. As the sole founder of the UK's fastest growing nut butter brand Pip was recently awarded Natwest's Entrepreneur of the Year 2019. In January 2020 Pip & Nut will celebrate their 5th birthday. A poignant moment in the life cycle of the business, Pip has always had at the back of her mind: ‘1 in 3 businesses fail within their first 5 years'. A landmark year for the brand, Pip still continues to raise the standards when it comes to the business. A recent B Corp certification, a significant increase in headcount, and expansion of the product line have all supported the growth of this incredible business. In this episode Pip shares the journey of Pip & Nut; from her kitchen table to the supermarket. She discusses frankly the importance of finding a mentor (Giles Brooks, CEO of Vita Coco is hers), the challenges of expanding your product range too quickly and why trusting your instincts is vital when building a brand.

Having first thought of the idea for Pip & Nut whilst training for a marathon at the age of 24, Pippa's come a long, long way since she initially started selling her market-leading nut butters from a market stall each weekend. Now a multi-million pound company that is now stocked in over 5000 stores UK wide, I was lucky enough to sit down with her at Pip & Nut HQ (yes, there is a giant tub of nut butter slap back in the middle of the office... what a legend) to discuss how her role as Founder has evolved throughout that process and how she's adapted to that change. She opens up about how she dealt with the painful reality post-Brexit when she woke up on 26th June 2016 hundreds of thousands of pounds down and how she manages the days when the reality of owning a company tests your resilience beyond belief. Plus, of course, the various funding methods she has used since day one and her advice for anyone looking to raise; what down time and self-care looks like for her; her proudest moments along the way; plus a whole lot of other bits and bobs thrown in for good measure!

Today’s guest is Pippa Murray who, 5 years ago, founded Pip & Nut, which is “arguably the brand that kicked off the nut butter revolution” in the UK [The Independent].Pippa began her career in the creative arts! In her early twenties, she was working as a theater producer when she started her nut butter side hustle -- making various peanut and almond butters at home and selling them at a local market.Pippa shares how rewarding it was to start this business and also how her brand has developed over the years. “The power of design and creativity should never be underestimated,” she says. We also talk about carving out time and space for creativity, even/especially as a sole entrepreneur.Something that is increasingly important to me in the products I buy is the sustainability factor as well as social responsibility, and Pippa and I talk about how Pip & Nut puts efforts toward doing good as a business. Pip & Nut not only has a range of nut butter flavors, they also produce nut milk, they published a cookbook, and they put on events -- all of which contribute to bringing the brand to life.I’m amazed by what Pippa has created, and I so enjoyed talking with her.

I loved recording this episode with my guest Fleur Emery, because she's one of those people who isn't afraid to just say what she thinks, even if it's not a popular view.

Unprecedented for the UK, we've had virtually a whole week with warm weather. Not unprecedented in the FoodTalk studio, however, is a high calibre of foodie guests – Sue Nelson and Guy Routledge had some tasty treats for a summer's day. It all got a bit boozy in the beginning though. Despite connecting via a phoneline to Scotland, Martin Murray had managed to sort us out with some beautiful Rockrose Gin and Holy Grass Vodka. The guys at Dunnet Bay Distillery are certainly going places and we got a taste of exactly why. After all that Gin and Vodka, we had a lethargic moment – we all know the feeling. You never want to cook when you're in that state, so it was quite handy that we heard from Asa of iRaw. They have some cracking healthy snacks! For most, our final guest needs no introduction. You'll probably have seen the perfect Pip & Nut Peanut Butter in all of the big supermarkets – but did you know the fantastic story behind it too? Pippa Murray is a bit of a business superstar and has a fantastic story to tell.
