HUNGRY‪.‬ Dan Pope

How is this possible?
What’s in the energy? Who does that?
How?
Whaaaaaaa?
What are they on?
This is f*cking INSANE
PerfectTed have astounded me since day one.
Teddie and Marrissa ripped up the “challenger brand play book” with brash boldness, courage and naive intelligence.
PerfectTed’s meteoric rise is CRAZY - they’ve achieved in 1 year what most would dream of in 10 years
🍵 Won Sainsbury’s, Waitrose, Tesco, M&S, Joe and The Juice
🍵 Holland and Barrett, Planet Organic Blank Street Coffee,
🍵 Investment by Steven Bartlett, famous feature on Dragon’s Den
🍵 Patnership with The Hardest Geezer - helping him run across the length of Africa race
🍵 Scaled the team to +8 employees
When I got to the office, I can’t lie, there was this big voluptuous wallop of infection energy.
The PerfectTed team GRAFT.
We finished the pod at 8.30pm. The whole team still in the office grafting away.
Teddie and Marissa are onto a special something.
Wanna know that special something?

The Cartford Inn.
A pub ran by a Lancashire lass, Julie, and a Frenchman, Patrick.
Apres recording la pod Warehouse Project founder Sacha Lord, in Manc.
Tastebuds primed for a Rave of Flave.
Thick, clotting, cloying clouds and snotsodden Rain d..r…i…z..zz..i..lll.ee..dd down.
I took a haughty-naughty-little jaunty upwards to The Cartford Inn.
NEVER in my life have I experienced anything like this.
A panoply of Gastro-wank pervades the world.
General Managers believe they’re Military Generals.
Gavin (but you can call me, Gav).
