The Story begins with 3 men with an idea to make it easy for people to do themselves some good. In the summer of 1998, they bought £500 worth of fruit, turned it into smoothies and sold them from a stall at a little music festival in London. They put up a sign saying, Do you think we should give up our jobs to make these smoothies? They had two bins, one saying YES and the other NO and asked people top put their empty bottle is the right bin. The next day they had all resigned from their jobs.

Come and hear Richard give his story and also from the guys at fruit towers about what it is like to work there and job opportunities. Also join us afterwards for a FREE smoothies reception!
