| Programme | Start Up Loans |
Joezy and his business partner Amy, took out funding from Start Up Loans to set up Naturawell in 2021, a plant-based bar and restaurant serving healthy and delicious food and drinks.
The business offers a range of healthy products including freshly prepared salad bowls, fresh juices, pancakes, toasties, bagels and smoothie bowls.
The couple were inspired by actions taken by society to tackle social and environmental issues and are determined to promote healthy living habits. All of Naturawell’s food and drinks are made from scratch upon request so freshness is always on the table.
Joezy & Amy are in the process of applying for a second loan in order to grow the business further by opening a second branch that will allow them to serve a broader customer base.
Serving healthy food that is sustainable is at the heart of what we do, and our goal is to make eating plant-based food the norm in modern society. Joezy and Amy Founders, Naturawell
