As with all businesses across London, the recent tube and rail strikes have certainly thrown a few curve balls at us, especially whilst trying to support our valued customers in and around London.

During this period one of our products became a bit of a hero with businesses in the heart of the capital... our snack boxes! Yep, you heard it right!

As a result of the strikes, and people struggling to get into the office, attendance numbers dropped as expected, which of course has a wider impact on supply chain, especially food and beverage with a short shelf-life.

To help counter this problem, many businesses began ordering our snack boxes due to the longer shelf-life of the products inside i.e. months vs. days, meaning there were still plenty of goodies available to their teams and members, upon returning to the office after each strike ended!
