Episode 6: Angus Simms

from Bosses Unfiltered Hosted by Newstalk ZB

New Zealand produces enough food to feed 40 million people. Some of it we consume and some some we export. But a staggering 30% of the food we make or grow goes to waste. Fruit and vegetables need to look a certain way to make it onto supermarket shelves – or they get tossed. Angus Simms and his partner Katie Jackson wanted to tackle that problem - so they started Wonky Box three years ago. This is the subscription food box full of wonky fruit and veg that’s delivered to your door. Their business has grown way bigger and faster than they ever thought, but it hasn’t been smooth sailing along the way. Angus joined Kerre Woodham in the latest episode of Bosses Unfiltered to share his story. LISTEN ABOVE
