Laura Jackson - Bursary Award Winner

Co-founded by first cousins Laura and Sam, who hung up their corporate ‘suits’ to turn their passion for food into a business. They wanted to choose a product that makes people smile, but also prioritise flavour and quality. They loved the idea of popcorn as it brings people together; whether that be when watching a movie, sharing with work colleagues or snacking with friends on a long car journey. After spending six months in the kitchen, they finally hit on a great recipe and made so much product they couldn’t fit it their homes, so they had to resort to the garden shed! And thus Popcorn Shed was born.
