Why Invest into ChicP?

Revolutionary Technology

Revolutionary Technology

ChicP’s proprietary ambient packaging technology allows their products to be stored at room temperature while maintaining quality and freshness for up to a year. This innovation significantly reduces the carbon footprint and energy usage associated with chilled storage. Their process also ensures the products are free from preservatives and retain their nutritional value, making them a game changer in the plant-based snack market​.

Sustainable Materials

ChicP is dedicated to sustainability at its core, using surplus vegetables to create their range of delicious, plant-based snacks. By repurposing vegetables that would otherwise go to waste, ChicP is addressing one of the largest contributors to environmental damage: food waste. Their products, including hummus and snack pots, are made with natural ingredients, without preservatives, and designed with sustainability in mind. The company also plans to introduce sustainable packaging solutions as production volumes grow​.

Cost-Effective Solution

Cost-Effective Solution

ChicP’s business model revolves around minimising waste, which translates into cost savings for the company and its consumers. By sourcing surplus produce, they reduce input costs while creating high-quality, healthy products. The company's ambient products, which have a 12-month shelf life without refrigeration, reduce energy consumption and shipping costs, making ChicP a cost-effective solution for consumers and retailers alike​.

World-Class Team

ChicP’s team is led by Hannah McCollum, a former professional chef who founded the company to combat food waste. With a passion for sustainability and healthy eating, Hannah brings unique expertise to the business. Supporting her are industry experts like Tom Youngman (Sales Director) and Daniel Cross (NED & Investor), alongside other seasoned professionals in finance and marketing, all of whom contribute to ChicP’s strategic growth and market expansion​.

Advanced & Diverse Applications

ChicP's products cater to a broad range of consumers, from busy families to health-conscious millennials, and their diverse product range suits various eating occasions. From chilled dips to on-the-go snack pots, ChicP’s offerings are designed for convenience, while promoting sustainability and plant-based nutrition. Their ambient product line can easily fit into both retail and foodservice channels, providing versatility and wide-reaching appeal​.

EIS Investment Tax Relief Approved

ChicP is approved for SEIS/EIS investment tax relief, offering investors significant tax benefits. The company has £100,000 SEIS remaining, making this a particularly attractive investment opportunity for those looking to support a high-growth, sustainable business while reducing their tax liabilities​.
