Prior to taking her business full time, Rachel was a teacher in a school, and she noticed that there was no legislation requiring schools to provide healthy breakfasts. All too often kids would be loaded up with sugar at breakfast time which would have a negative impact both on their day and their overall health. To combat this issue, Rachel set to creating a jam that now saves the average family of four from consuming 800 sugar cubes per year.
Rachel famously appeared on BBC’s Dragon’s Den last year, where she turned down a £40,000 investment from Tej Levani. In this episode, Rachel explains to us the challenging story of starting a business with three kids and two jobs, as well as her reasoning for turning down Tej Levani’s investment.
“I realised that being a teacher in a classroom I could impact maybe a thousand people, but by starting Fearne and Rosie I could impact millions of children’s lives.”
