Episode 60: Eccie & Gini | Karma Cans & Karma Kitchen - a podcast by Elizabeth Kerr and Kat Wood

Creating connections through food, thriving on pressure and drawing on personal experiences to start a new business, with co-founders of Karma Cans and Karma Kitchen, Eccie and Gini. 

For our final episode of the season we sat down with Eccie and Gini, founders of catering company Karma Cans and Karma Kitchen – a community of co-working kitchens and offices to support food and drink businesses. We hear how Karma Cans began and how they have shared their ethos of creating connections through food in delivering delicious healthy lunches to offices around London. We discuss the importance of a good culture and how Eccie and Gini have built their company around the team's shared obsession with food! It’s amazing to hear how the sisters built this business organically and that they still work with their first ever client. Karma Kitchen grew from Eccie and Gini’s personal experiences with the difficulty of finding suitable, affordable kitchen space as a new food business. They now provide co-working kitchens for food and drink businesses at any stage, allowing them to grow and adapt. Through their growing portfolio, they provide collaborative spaces which offer a support system for other businesses – something that is so necessary as the industry shifts to accommodate delivery-only demands and increasing consumer expectations. Other topics we touch on include raising funds, creating separate roles as founders and drawing on that organic growth experience while expanding the new business.
