Eat Street IOW! In this episode, I talk to Laurel and Alex Wibberley, who are a dynamic team with a business that has attracted a growing following here on the Isle of Wight! They share the work and the loads equally. Alex is the chef, who worked on the Cunard ships until the pandemic. Laurel is multi-talented, doing the finance and website for the Eat Street IOW! They also use social media extremely well! Now securely installed in their new HQ on the edge of Cowes, they are establishing a great reputation for the food and service they offer their clients.
Teamwork, community minded, with goals for sustainability and zero waste, they have set high standards for what they do and how they do business! The website EatStreetIOW is all about the business, lots of food pictures, menus and so on. Also, a blog with lot that talks about what they do, how they do it and other personal issues such as mental health and wellbeing. As you will learn,this is an important issue to them both. Their relationship began with the COVID lockdowns. Starting the business in COVID, they worked together, and formed a strong partnership that is the foundation of Eat Street IOW.
The Burnt Chef Project is a part of their ethos and how they work. Here they talk about how they use the new HQ and as support the project. They also talk about their new plans for the summer, and into the autumn! If you check the website, they have innovated again and have a new service on offer! They never stop!
Their choice of music is personal and reflects the care that they have for each other and what they do. I hope you enjoy this episode and getting to know both Laurel and Alex. I wish them all the success for the future and seeing more successful client events on social media!
