About the Author
At the age of 28 Jill Sutherland, and her husband of 30 Richard Willis, decided to swap their careers in Public Relations and Advertising for the challenge of starting their own sandwich, salad and smoothie bar. Now, three years later, Taste (UK) Ltd is a firmly established and multi award winning Essex based business; proof that despite the influx of big name chains onto the high street, there is still room for enterprising independent sandwich and coffee bars within this exciting sector.
