How I failed: Good options but not enough focus, with Yorkshire Meatball Co Founder Gareth Atkinson

 

Gareth Atkinson launched the Yorkshire Meatball Company in 2014 with his father after they recognised a gap in the market for a premium meatball product. They opened a restaurant in Harrogate, won awards, were listed as one of the UK’s top 100 startups, and ended up being stocked in 300 supermarkets across the country. Like all good entrepreneurs, they’d even built a brand that had the potential and scope to stretch into other markets.

So what went wrong? Listen to find out. 

If you have any feedback, we’d love to hear it. What would make the show better?
