Lisa Gawthorne, co-founder of vegan distribution business Bravura Foods has been awarded the prestigious James Henry Cook Award by the Health Food Institute. This award is given annually to a person or company whose personal or business ideals most closely conform to those that of James Henry Cook who established Britain’s first health food store in 1898.
A renowned Team GB athlete who was named as one of the UK’s most ambitious business leaders, Lisa Gawthorne launched vegan food company, Bravura Foods with business partner and good friend Karl Morris, after struggling to find a decent availability of vegan products in the UK market, a situation which is undeniably different now in 2019 to that which she found eight years ago.
