#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!
