How has the company evolved during the pandemic?
听
We鈥檙e a tech startup that started out as a remote team so the pandemic didn鈥檛 hit is us badly as it has for so many others. Healthy eating is now at the forefront of people鈥檚 minds which has meant we鈥檝e seen more people using the app.
Parents have limited time so we鈥檝e tried to expand our services to be more flexible. Originally we planned to go on a tour of schools and community centres but those plans had to be paused.
