In this episode, Food & Drink Business editor Kim Berry is joined by start-up Naked Rivals co-founder, Andrew Gordon.

From the kernel of an idea to the relentless anxiety of bringing that idea to fruition, Andrew shares the highs and lows of launching Naked Rivals – a frozen citrus product range that upcycles ‘ugly fruit’ and provides cost-effective convenience year-round.
We talk about the willingness of people in the industry to share their knowledge and experience, and the value that comes from those connections.

Andrew takes us through the key steps of starting a business before we turn to the intense stress and relentlessness of getting a company off the ground. The path to securing capital can be brutal and Naked Rivals has experienced it firsthand.

We wrap up by looking down the road for the company and the power of dogged determination. It is a heartfelt, vulnerable, and brutally honest insight into the reality of being a start-up.
