Back story
I have worked within the catering end of the hospitality industry for over 20 years. Primarily worked as a chef manager preparing, and organising, and executing large scale events for Master Chef John Coughlan. Undoubtedly, I gained a tremendous amount of experience and equally a business acumen required to manage a successful business.
About us
On 2018 I decided to take a break from this career, and pursued a Higher Diploma in food science technology. Subsequently, this time presented an opportunity research create and a develop a new innovative product. It was at this time, during my year long H. Dip the concept of hemp based foods was first hatched. In addition I developed and created Ireland’s first hemp CBD bar
Scientific approach
At Evolve hemp foods we research, create and educate and moreover deliver sustainable innovative hemp based beneficial foods. Designed to support and promote wellness and health nutrition.
Early days
As well as that, since launching Ireland’s first hemp bar on August 2019. We have linked in with Irish farmers and producers from around the country to explore the opportunities for other hemp based food concepts. At Evolve we have extensively researched the global market and tested our concepts and ideas, which have led to the development of Evolve’s flagship products.
Proudly, we have forged alliances with some of the top artisan farmers and producers in the country. We want to partner with people who’s values and principles mirror what we aim to achieve.
