Julie used to be known among her friends and family for the amazing smoked humous recipe. One day, as part of her job as a BBC journalist, by pure coincidence, she ended up researching the popularity of humous. So she decided to market test her homemade hummus, people loved it, and the brand was born.

*Julie founded the business but has since successfully exited. We keep her here as a trailblazer – a tribute to the women who built it, sold it, and inspired others to do the same.
