Case studies

A plateful of case studies and project examples for food, drink and related businesses of all shapes and sizes, CPG to start-up, across many sector categories, B2C and B2B.

Filter projects by work type, and click through the projects with a green highlight to see full case studies.

Note for April 2024; I am updating the page design of my case studies. The Rebel Recipes, Unilever, Fortnum's, FareShare, and Chef Marc Fosh case studies are the new design, the others are the old, but not for long!
