John Devlin 23/11/2021 . GLASGOW. Laura Sutherland, T/A The Glasgow Pickle Co. BEARSDEN, GLASGOW. SCOTLANDS LARDER - Laura Sutherland, T/A The Glasgow Pickle Co. BEARSDEN, GLASGOW. Hello, I’m Laura, the Chief Pickler! I created Wonky Pickles out of a love of pickles and condiments and I wanted to channel my energy into something productive through lockdown. I’d always wanted to start a food business, it just took me a while to see what was staring me straight in the face! Why ‘wonky’? In 2013 Scotland wasted 987,890 tonnes of food/drink and has a target to reduce all food waste by 33%, by 2025. By using veg and fruit considered ‘ugly’ and sourcing local produce, I’m helping reduce food waste and support the local economy. By the time the produce is made into something yummy, who even knows the produce wasn’t ‘the right’ shape in the first place?! I know how important it is to be an ethical and sustainable business, for my customers and for the next generation. We can and should all play our part. In November 2021, following a customer survey, I rebrand as The Glasgow Pickle Co. About The Glasgow Pickle Co. I founded The Glasgow Pickle Co. in November 2020. I'm a keen cook and pickle fanatic! I originally trained in Hospitality Management and Operations at college, then went to work for a large Scottish restaurant group, and the love of feeding people glorious food has never left me. In fact, my food obsession started when I was at school, when I chose Home Economics as a Standard Grade and won the school prize! It's fair to say my college and industry training both in the kitchen and front of house, has not only been solid life skills, but also transferrable into my everyday work as a chartered PR consultant. My home-kitchen business is inspired by my Christmas chutney making and the thoughtful gifts people were looking for at Christmas, during the COVID pandemic. I figured I could make my usplaceholder image
