Mike Hill is a serial entrepreneur and long time vegan. He co-founded One Planet Pizza together with his son Joe in 2016. Since then it has grown into the UK’s leading frozen vegan pizza company, supplying retail outlets across the UK, Ireland and the continent. Prior to setting up One Planet Pizza, Mike has set up and run several successful businesses, including a vegetarian restaurant and a health and fitness management consultancy.

Tina Chen was inspired by bubble tea concept and British tea drinking culture to develop a healthy, well-balanced tea latte beverage. With her love for a quality cuppa and her desire to make a positive impact on society, Tina made a career switch from IT to just tea, and HumaniTea was born! Tackling the problem of obesity-causing sugary soft drinks, HumaniTea crafts the UK’s first ready-to-drink plant-based Tea Lattes available in Matcha Green Tea and Classic Earl Grey flavours. Brewed with ethically-sourced, quality ingredients, the Vegan Tea Lattes exclude artificial flavours and emulsifiers, contain low sugar and low calories, and provide boost of antioxidants and natural energy without the coffee caffeine crash.

Conference details will be sent out approximately one hour prior to even start time.
