“If the pizza is good and the person serving it to you is happy, what could go wrong”. Over a couple of beers, Mark speaks to brothers Thom and James Elliot about their beginnings with a pilgrimage through Italy and hassling councils to get their break on Berwick Market (plus starting a business with a £10,000 credit card). We chat about the point they decided to make the leap to bricks & mortar and how they go about opening new sites, supporting their staff in their own creative endeavours, causing havoc with a carbonara pizza and how a simple marketing idea resulted in 2,100 free pieces of pizza in a day #PIZZABOXART. _____ This podcast is sponsored by the good folk at BDO.
