Pic Picot

Pic started his business making peanut butter in his garage a decade ago and started The Food Factory to let like-minded entrepreneurs have a go at creating a food business of their own, without the hurdles he faced of having to find food safe premises, sign humongous leases and buy expensive machinery that may or may not, do the job you hoped.
He’ll help you make good decisions.
