04/30/22 • 53 min

Christian Anderson is a Co-Founder of Doogles Donuts. He started the business with his partner, Grace, in lockdown and hasn't looked back since.
This is Christian's first business, he also had very little experience of the food and drink industry so there have been plenty of learning curves along the way but one thing which was very important to Christian was building a strong team and it's the strength of the team which has helped him carry on when things got tough.
Christian is focussed on building a team which can help him develop the business but can also be developed by the business. He's very focussed on ensuring his team are happy, healthy and have opportunities to grow alongside the business.

Lucas is the Founder of Queens restaurant in Liverpool. The bistro opened a few years back and has become a hidden gem of sorts - or at least that was the case until a recent positive review from Jay Rayner.
The Guardian Food Critic recently visited Queens and wrote a review which has propelled the business into the consciousness of foodies all over the area. Lucas came on to the podcast to talk about the review and what it has done for his business. We also touched on some industry topics such as rising costs and developing a strong team.
