- Website:

graze.com
More than 127,000 people have subscribed to Graze since it
launched in January 2009. Which is not too shabby at all. They
delivered nearly 1 million boxes priced at £2.99 last year, and now
post a sizable 13.5 kg of pineapple a week. The emphasis is very
much on getting a balanced diet, levelling out blood sugar
throughout the day and discouraging the tendency of office workers
to pig out on processed foods and chocolate come 3 pm. The team
have done 'EVERYTHING' themselves in building the business, from
sorting for Royal Mail to building their website. And they've got
an eye on the environment too, using recyclable and recycled
materials and postal services rather than delivery vans.
