Eden Nibbles: how I healed my own body Adri Griffiths (contact through Instagram)
Delicious bespoke (and pure) products.
Adri found a way to create nourishing sweets that would help her overcome candida overgrowth. She found her symptoms disappeared.
She uses pure ingredients such as sunflower seeds, coconut, chocolate cacao beans. As she’s self taught wants to keep everything as natural and pure as possible. Five star hygiene award. (Amazingly, she’s just received a massive website order which is really motivating in the last week from Gloucester and Surrey(!)).
Adri works through Instagram Facebook and vegan market networks and uses Sum Up for all of her transactions: it’s great. While on Adri’s stand, I noticed that she was promoting the work of artist writer/poet Jules Wheat
Jules Wheat
Sally loves travelling and wanted to bring ethical clothes and jewellery designed in Pushkar in Rhajistan back to the UK.
To get her business going Sally took a small loan and built her contacts and suppliers by word of mouth. Working with the same families for five years gives her the opportunity to visit the factories in Pushkar where as a matter of course the clothes manufacturers and jewellery give a percentage of their earnings to people without stable employment. Sally donates also.
Be Outsider limited edition jewellery/pieces
Dexter Morgan Tracey Middleton: Be Outsider The business started at the beginning of this year their plan is to go travelling in a van throughout the uk then… perhaps, further afield. Tracey and Dexter’s business is to be an ‘unusual jeweller’ where they find limited edition pieces, market them and then…… find more, creating value for their customers wherever they go. The idea is to stay interested…creating interest… always finding new pieces so their customers have a piece that’s bespoke.
Tracey used to sell jewellery in the past and previously worked in council cctv. Dexter worked in a warehouse and photography. He does the marketing, social media and website.
Origin Kitchen is a family business run by Leah and Sam Brownlight and they do cashews…!
Sam went vegan because he believed the ethics (but also loved creamy, rich, food) and could find nothing to satisfy his craving.
So he began his serious researches, experimenting with cashew nuts because they’re delicious, creamy and nutritious. Today there are two products Cashew Nut Spread and Cashew Nut Mousse. (Cashew is still his favourite!).
Origin Kitchen market research started in London at local markets: people liked product straight away. There was a Covid slow down but the family got together and his brother pitched to small shops and, as a family, decided to move to Nottingham.
Origin now have a factory (where the whole family work and have one locally recruited worker, Lewis recruited by the Kick Starter project) Origin is working hard to supply products to distributors to health food stores and currently have 250 customers.

Scenturion
Scenturion Oudora will be ……massive….you’ve heard it first here.
This exquisite marriage of vegan ethics, formulary and designer husband and wife research, attention to British and French manufacture is the beginning of a wonderful future.
Farida and Abid Ashraf started to think about vegan musks and perfumes ten years ago. It was soooo difficult to find vegan arabian oils and musks. As a formulary scientist with a perfumier husband they worked and worked and worked to create a dual Made in UK and France brand. Try, buy, share with family, friends and colleagues…they’d love your feedback and how their perfumes could be a brilliant addition to your event or party. Get with the vegan base notes…..live well and prosper!
