The Phat Pasty Co Shortlisted for the CBI Sponsored Business Growth Awards 2010: Young Company Of The Year
October 11, 2010
Winners of last years Lunch! Multiple Retailer Of The Year Award and winners at the British Sandwich Association, Sammies, Workplace Sandwich Provider Of The Year 2010, the Phat Pasty Co have now been shortlisted for a major national business award – Business Growth Awards : Young Company of The Year.
These awards will be held in November at the London Marriott Hotel.
Chemists Direct and Lovefilm were amongst the 2009 winners, with judges including James Caan, from Dragons Den.
The surf-themed Phat Pasty Company has found a winning formula to grow in a recession, mixing a traditional business model with a fun and relaxed outlook.
The franchise has seen a huge amount of interest and they are now opening at a rate of a new franchise per month.
The initial model of Milton Keynes now operates 5 Phat Vans and the pilot franchise in Bedford has led to openings in Newcastle, Birmingham and Plymouth. With further openings planned in Epsom and Aberdeen in November and December the franchise is set grow throughout the country.
The big idea for The Phat Pasty Company was conceived by Founder and self-proclaimed “Phat Controller” Laura Clark who was looking for a business that could fit around her lifestyle as a working mum. Having worked in the restaurant and catering industry all her career, she wanted a business of her own to set up and operate. Supported by her husband, Paul, who has been in franchising for the past fifteen years, they developed The Phat Pasty Co, a ready-made business model that can be operated by franchisees working from home.
They created a ‘camper style’ Phat Pasty Van and took Cornish pasties to hungry office workers in Milton Keynes.
A recent partnership in the North East with ‘Be Franchising’, a government backed company who specialise in developing employment opportunities through franchising now has two Phat Vans established and will see five new franchisees in Newcastle opening early in the new year.
Speaking on the background to the company, Laura Clark, Phat Controller of The Phat Pasty Company said:
“Our whole family is passionate about good food, and above all, we wanted to be part of something fun, dynamic and exciting.
“Our Phat Pasty brand has really struck a cord with the British public and the Phat Vans bring a smile to everyone who sees them. Our mission is to take our Phat brand to every town across the UK and make The Phat Pasty Co a household name’’
The Phat Pasty Co have just introduced a retail range of Phat Pasty pasties. These are packaged in a unique oven stable packaging, allowing the products to be baked and served in the wrapper to the customer. This new retail concept will further enhance the awareness of the Phat Pasty brand with petrol stations, universities, theme parks and sports venues all showing an interest in the brand.
