Gap Finders: Hotel Chocolat, Angus Thirlwell

Available for over a year

Winifred Robinson talks to the co-founder of Hotel Chocolat, Angus Thirlwell, about how he spotted a gap in the UK chocolate market for a new kind of luxury chocolate. With the moto "more cocoa, less sugar" they launched in 2004 with the aim of making British chocolate exciting again. The journey has taken them on a deep dive into all things chocolate from buying their own cocoa farm in St Lucia to opening chocolate inspired restaurants and a hotel. Angus is joined by Hotel Chocolat co-founder, Peter Harris, and the two share why they believe their business partnership has proven so successful.
