Episode 13 - Rollagranola - Robin Longden

Welcome the “On Your Marks Podcast" with @MattWoodyWood from GWActive.com.

This is the podcast where we chat to the founders, leaders and innovators behind the brands that inspire you to get on your starting blocks. 

The world of sport is competitive by nature, and the business that underpins it, often has an interesting story behind it and with this podcast we aim to gain an insight into those that drive it forward. 

On this episode of the 'On Your Marks' podcast I chat to Robin Longden, the Founder at Rollagranola

Robin had an illustrious career taking on a range of roles with companies like Cadbury, Premier Foods, Heathrow Airport and Gatwick Aiprort where he Chief Commerical Officer.  
 
Robin started Rollagranola in 2014 out of his home before selling the products at local markets. Eventually moving to a factory with large orders coming in from Europe. 

Rollagranola is on mission to create the best granola available and make granola like no other. Lots of nuts, nothing hidden, simple and natural ingredients are used to give you a granola as it should be. 

What was once a one-man band today is a team of eight, including Robin’s son Sean, making Rollagranola a business with family at its heart. 
 
 This podcast will be interesting to anyone who has always wanted to understand why someone would take the jump to start a brand after years working in corporate roles, and those wanting an insight into the margin gains needed to be taken to grow a business. 

We started the conversation by asking Robin about his younger years.
