Hey guys - I've started writing up these little pieces about London-based businesses that started relatively small, and then have absolutely hit the roof

I'm keen to make this a bit of a series, so please feel free to mention some interesting ones in the comments!

Hopefully with a more social/feel good angle? I know Grind does the compostable pods/eco friendly thing, but it's not quite scratching the itch.

It's an impressive story - but I'd love my next piece to be impressive, useful AND hopeful.

Cheers!
p.s At the moment I'm thinking about Yard Sale Pizza, mainly because I think they've crushed it with their branding. But again, not many points for the social angle.
