Scottish Start Up capitalises on new working from home culture

Start Up Loan recipient Healthy Nibbles has found ways to thrive, rather than simply survive, during Covid-19.

Throughout the Covid-19 crisis, small businesses have had to continually adapt their business models to survive. Many are facing untold challenges in the wake of changing consumer behaviours and supply chain disruption, while others have been able to find opportunities to adapt and grow despite the disruption.

Sara Roberts, founder of Healthy Nibbles, a Scottish-based snack delivery service delivering across the UK, is one business owner who has adapted to the challenges of Covid-19 and is achieving growth despite the difficult environment.

Previously providing tech-enabled healthy vending machines to offices in London, Sara trialled home delivery of healthy snacks at the start of lockdown and found there was a huge demand for her products as employers searched for new ways to motivate their staff from home.

Quick to identify that the working from home culture originally enforced by government restrictions was more than just a fleeting moment, Sara has now adapted her service to deliver healthy snacks across the country direct to employees’ homes.

She has since included a home-delivery service as part of her future business strategy and is planning how best to optimise this new offering as lockdown lifts.
