Episode notes

Olly Hiscock is a snack fanatic and founder of Olly's, one of the most exciting brands in the healthier delicious snack space with their range of innovative Pretzel Thins, Chocolate Pretzel Thins and Olive snack pouches. 

Having landed a degree in neuroscience, he then embarked on his entrepreneurial journey in the wonderful world of olives. His snack adventure was born out of marinating olives in his kitchen in London and selling them at local farmers markets in 2016. Since then, Olly's has gone on to become an international snack brand, selling millions of packs each year across countries all over the world. 

Olly is a seasoned pro when it comes to breathing new life, colour and character into snack categories; all guided by his snack creation ethos which is to keep health at the heart and deliver flavour to the full. The rise & rise of their latest creation, Pretzel Thins, has translated to the Olly's range being the fastest-growing pretzel brand in the UK currently, and he's sure there will be plenty more creations to come.

The community surrounding Olly's is something that has always been incredibly important to the brand, which is continuing to build upon its mission to feed the planet's feel good. This mission goes well beyond the snacks and into the lifestyle and relationships the brand looks to foster and grow. Olly's also work closely with their charity partner, One Feeds Two, to support them through providing over 25,000 school meals to underprivileged children around the world.
