Today marks a new chapter at QikServe as we join forces with The Access Group. 13 years ago, struggling to get served in a restaurant with two young children, I came up with the idea of using a QR code to order and pay. I was joined by my awesome co-founder Ronnie Forbes with the mission to disrupt the hospitality space. We assembled the best team in the world and set about doing just that. We set our sights on being an international hospitality tech business from the outset and we now power digital ordering in over 8,000 locations, in 44 countries. There are probably a thousand people I need to thank so to make it easy and I will put them into groups. My family, who has put up with/supported my obsession. Our investor who backed us (Equity Gap, Par Equity, Maven Capital Partners and more). Our partners along the way like Oracle Restaurants, Zonal and FreedomPay to name a few. Our advisors MBM Commercial LLP and Akash Sahai, JD, MBA. Our customers who have believed in us and supported the business, some for over 10 years. However, the biggest thank-you must go to the team, past and present. You are the ones that turned up, believed big, delivered and made all this possible. I will be forever grateful, and I can’t wait to go on this next part of our journey with you. To our new Access colleagues…Let’s do this!! https://lnkd.in/eUB7KdJC

!FAIRTRADE UP YOUR BEER! Ethical shoppers now have the opportunity to choose a Fairtrade Certified option in the beer aisle with our Fonio Session IPA. Over the past six months our team have worked tirelessly with our partners to build a Fairtrade supply chain for our fonio grain from scratch, ensuring the West African farming communities growing this incredible super grain get paid a fair price for what goes into our beer.   Knowing the biggest waves are made together, we’re also launching ‘Open Grain’ (cheers Tony’s 😇) meaning the supply chain can be accessed by all other breweries and businesses looking to source fonio grain for themselves.    A HUGE shoutout to the teams at Co-op, Sainsbury's and Waitrose & Partners who backed us on this project from the beginning... meaning our 4-packs of our Fairtrade Fonio Session IPA are now available UK wide!    There's sooo much more to tell you in the coming days about the cool things this beer is doing, and the remarkable people who made it happen, but in the meantime go get some... and Fairtrade up your beer 🍻✌🏻

We don’t agree “what happens in the lab should stay in the lab” because we’re passionate about successfully scaling our #biotech innovations to commercialisation. As part of a recent Scottish Enterprise funded project, we designed Mini-Me 10L bioreactors in the image of our commercial scale 30kL bioreactors. Take away message: Hot results in the wee MiAlgae bioreactors = hot results at scale. Here’s Aimee getting the wee guys ready for the next product optimisation trial! #commericalisation #optimisation #lab #biotechnology #scaleup #omega3 #algae #biotech for good
