Getting to Grow

#7 Stuart Macdonald - Founder of ManiLife


Listen Later

This episode we spoke to Stu Macdonald, founder of delicious peanut butter brand, ManiLife.

ManiLife was born in Summer 2015 when 45 friends came together to make 4000 jars of peanut butter, one jar at a time. 

Why ManiLife? Mani means peanut or groundnut in Argentine Spanish, where they source all their peanuts from. And life because they're all about making people happy and believe their products to be life-changingly-lip-smackingly delicious!

Many years and jars later, ManiLife can now be found on the shelves of Sainsburys & Waitrose, 100s of independents, your online baskets and your favourite meal kit delivery boxes.

We spoke to Stu about how his travels gave him his idea, how a mistake turned into a best selling product and his plans to change the perception of the category.
