Food Business Course for local people

Making a Difference Award Winner launches a new Food Business Course for local people

Former University of Manchester student Amy Win has launched a new food business training course for local people through her social enterprise 4Lunch.

4Lunch was a highly commended social enterprise in the Making a Difference Awards for Social Responsibility in 2015. After 5 years in business, Amy has launched a new course to inspire the next generation of food entrepreneurs.

So why this course? Amy says that through her work at 4Lunch, she found a lot of culinary talent out there in the community and people who wanted to know how they could start a food business from home.

Amy told us: “As someone without a business background, I relied on the support, generosity and knowledge of others to help me get started with my social enterprise. This included being recognised for my social enterprise work by the Office of Social Responsibility and the Making a Difference Awards. It has always been fundamental to my work at 4Lunch to give opportunities to people whenever I can and keep the circle of learning going.”

Amy hopes that the Recipe for Success course will offer meaningful opportunities to people and improve access to enterprise and employability skills.

To promote the new course, Amy is also putting on a series of food business start up events at various venues around Greater Manchester. These events are open to anyone interested in starting a food-based project and is a chance to pick the brains of established food business owners.
