DOMINIE FEARN

Founder and Director, The Wild Hare Group

Ready meals, re-imagined. Sustainable dishes that are nutritious and convenient.

After studying the environment at university, I knew my future was in sustainability. Working with businesses, managing sustainable supply chains, I was able to refine my understanding of how to source, transport and use goods with the wider consideration of the environment. As a keen foodie, I wanted to play a positive part in reducing the impacts of climate change and saw a gap in the market to combine great taste, convenience and holistic supply chain sustainability.
