Sadly not! I came out of it a year ago and now do kitchen fitting, property maintenance etc. I still keep myself involved with a couple of local pubs and festivals and feel for the guys still balls deep in it at the moment!

Awful lot of stress and pressure running a business and let's face it most of us carpers like a chilled out peaceful life. Fair play to him for giving it a go

I don't know if he's selling up or going bust, but even if it's the latter then he should be proud he gave it a pop. More than one in two new business will fail, fair play to anyone who takes the leap and tries to carve out something for themselves.

exactly.
Many dont try, so they will never understand the complications and stress of owning a business.

Heard he's selling up
Heard he's selling up
He's done a video on social media hoping someone will take it on. By the sounds it's just a health issue making him give it up. It certainly wasn't for me but all the best to him

This is spot on. He wants to fish, you ain't fishing if you're running a business like fink food in its infancy. Well not until he has enough people working for him. Guess he wasn't prepared to wait it out, which is fair enough its hard work and stressful. I still fink its a decent money maker for someone who can run a business.

A client base of people who don't have the basic ability or time to meal plan or prep/cook/freeze in advance. Same reason Gousto, Hello Fresh etc are doing so well.
The lack of kitchen ability seems to be a running theme in the under 30's tbh, and fair play to him jumping in while it lasted!
I have friends who know/drink with Scott and by all accounts he is a superb fella, so this is in no way a dig at him!

ive not looked at Gusto or hello fresh's prices compared to Fink (in sure Fink have) but that would be a factor i guess. If a house hold is purchasing items from hello fresh, and their choices are vast, i suspect that would have had an impact on sales for a pure fishing focused food market

The quality of gusto, hello fresh, etc's ingredients are grim.
The benefit of them is it gets people trying different things, you can get stuck in a rut....

Their veg isn't any better.
You can get the recipes online, then just buy the ingredients yourself. Do an online shop if you haven't got the time. Better quality and cheaper.
