Keli King, who founded the zero waste shop The Little Green Pantry in Crown Street, has just been crowned as the ‘green start up of the year’ in the annual Midlands Startup awards.“This means so much to me,” said Keli, who launched her shop, which sells a range of food and toiletries, in an attempt to cut down on plastic waste and help the environment.
“I want to thank them for their loyalty and choosing The Little Green Pantry over supermarkets and for caring about our beautiful planet as much as we do.” After completing a start-up course with Bridgnorth-based business consultants Good2Great in 2021 and being awarded a Pride in Our High Street grant from Telford & Wrekin Council, she set up in a permanent shop at 2 Crown Street, Wellington.
