Conor Reynolds was working in marketing for the travel company when he decided to pursue his dream of a “snacking empire”, having identified a gap in the market for healthy office snacks.
Three years later, Snackwize has about 100 clients across Australia and New Zealand including Deloitte, Uber, BDO, Hutchinson Builders, Red Bull, Samsung, Universal Studios, the MCG, Queensland Rugby League and Canva. “The majority of our snacks would retail for $3.50 to $4, you’re getting on average $2.20 per snack,” Mr Reynolds said.
“They said, ‘Sure let’s have a chat,’ so I went in there. It’s come a long way since then but it started literally with a cold email to a company.”“We got to a point, about 50 customers, where I said I can’t do this now,” he said. “I’m bringing in revenue, I’ve got to do operations, fulfilment, it was a full-time job. It just got way too much. I had to make the decision to grow and scale.”
Sounds like a great idea as well.
