Parsley Box, the home delivery meals business founded just two years ago, has raised £3m in growth capital from Mobeus Equity.
The business has grown turnover to £5m, delivering 2m meals to over 80 000 customers in just over 18 months and is set for substantive growth following the cash injection.
Currently employing 25, the business is set to grow to around 50 FTE’s within the next eighteen months.
Founded in 2017 by Adrienne and Gordon Macaulay borne from frustration in finding a meal solution for Gordon’s mother, Gordon noted;
“Traditional meal delivery services we saw were both very expensive and suffered from slow delivery. Parsley Box have reinvented the service by offering next day delivery and a wide range of meals for customers just like my mother.”
The investment was led by Mobeus, who have a successful track record investing in consumer brands. Amit Hindocha, Investment partner commented:
