In this episode of The Food Mentor podcast, I’m chatting with Arianne Sackville, founder of Bell and Bone, a pet food brand all about healthy, natural ingredients for dogs. Arianne shares her career journey, beginning with her university days at Monash and an internship at IBM, where she learned the importance of working for a brand she's passionate about. Arianne then decided that corporate life wasn’t for her. This led her to start her own business in the pet care industry, inspired by her dog Louis and a desire to make a positive impact on pet health.

Arianne discusses the values behind Bell and Bone, emphasizing the importance of transparency, quality ingredients, and community.

Since recording this podcast Arianne has launched an exciting new range for cats.

I hope you enjoy this episode of The Food Mentor Podcast.

It’s not often you get the opportunity to chat with a successful brand co founder that sold to a multinational for 200 Million Pounds just 10 years after launching their brand in the UK.

The brand is of course Grenade. Launching in the UK in 2010 with the vision of being an iconic weight loss product and the go to brand within Sports Nutrition.

This really is a fabulous chat with Juliet Barratt who with husband Alan identified a gap in the market then took the Grenade brand into 80 countries over a decade, before selling to Mondelez International in 2021.

This is a great listen for anyone in the food and beverage game. I hope you enjoy episode #26 of The Food Mentor Podcast.
