Plenish

I recruited VentureField to host a sales training for my team at Plenish. As we moved from a pure play to a retail business, VentureField hosted a team training on successful strategies to break into retail. VentureField has walked the walk with many up and coming brands, so when they talk the talk - we listened, and it worked. For any small brand trying to expand their presence at retail, I highly recommend VentureField's training or sales support. They're creative, commercial and great fun to work with.- Kara M.L. Rosen – Founder, Plenish

VentureField supported Rebel in the very early days and their knowledge was incredibly supportive. Thank you for being a part of Rebel’s journey.- Tamara Arbib – Co-Founder & MD, Rebel Kitchen

VentureField has been a great source of knowledge and expertise throughout the start up process. Their broad skill-base in sales, commercial strategy and supply chain has helped our business build a sustainable strategy and strong relationships with large FMCG retailers. I would recommend VentureField to any business – large or small.- Kate Bache – Founder, Kale & Bee Ltd

We got in touch with VentureField when we got our first supermarket listing in Waitrose. At the time we were pretty clueless, we didn't understand half the phrases our buyer was using with us and didn't know the best way to deal with them. VentureField helped us learn what the supermarkets wanted from us (we naively thought it was just about having a good product!) and how to deal with them. We have since had products listed with Tesco and Morrisons and have experienced phenomenal growth.- Guy Blaskey – Founder, Pooch & Mutt Ltd

When we 1st started CafePod, we had very little experience. VentureField came in as part of the initial team to assist with the commercial retail strategy and get our products on shelf. It didn’t take long before we realised that we need far more help and VentureField got stuck in, assisting in all areas of the business including operations and brand positioning. For any business that is looking for practical, relevant, proactive and most importantly honest support within a UK FMCG business, I couldn’t recommend VentureField more highly.- Peter Grainger – Co-Founder, CafePod
