From tiny acorns...
Today marks TP Feeds' move into its 10th year of trading. To say I've come a long way would be an understatement.
If you ever think, "I could never do that", "I could never be that good", "I could never grow that big", let me tell you right now that it's just not true. I have told myself all of these things over the years. Hell, I still do...
I started out, quite literally, from a cupboard under the stairs - yes, the Harry Potter of the pet food world! I attended many, many shows and events to get the brand 'out there'. I had a weekly stand at the National Botanic Garden - which saw me physically returning to work 10 days after my 2nd child was born via c-section.
3 years ago, we expanded our trade offering into providing private label ranges. I have already helped dozens of other small businesses to realise their own dreams, and currently have 145+ stockists on my books.
2.5 years ago, we moved from our family farm, to a huge new premises, bringing even more opportunities to both expand TP Feeds and provide more local businesses with an environment to grow.
I could wax lyrical about all the stages the business has gone through, all the life phases that I, personally, have gone through along the way, the mistakes I've made, the awards TP Feeds has won, the articles that have been written about me, the things I'm most proud of, but suffice to say, I can't wait to see what the next 10 years bring.
Thank you to each and every one of you. I've met some incredible people, both customers and stockists, and I look forward to meeting many, many more of you.
