We are very excited at Vanilla Pod HQ as we are going to be on the radio! BBC Gloucestershire to be precise! The programme will be aired the week after Christmas and is about how businesses in Gloucestershire have grown from ideas around the kitchen table.
The lovely Faye from the BBC popped by this afternoon to interview me and we had a good old chat over gluten free cupcakes...and endless cups of tea. I told Faye all about how I started the business, to couping with the current recession, to the future of the business. Can't wait to hear it.
