Question

Student friends Joshua Barley, Sonny Drinkwater, and Kieran Fitzgerald, all aged 22, realized the job market would be tough for new graduates, as the huge impact of coronavirus became clear in March and April.

Joshua and Sonny are old school friends. Joshua met Kieran at the University of Birmingham, introducing him to Sonny, who studied at Bristol.

The three final-year students saw work placements and graduate scheme opportunities disappear in the spring. Job interview processes would draw to an early close, says Sonny.

So they decided to take matters into their own hands and started a company, pooling their abilities and expertise. Both Joshua and Sonny had studied nutrition, while Kieran had been working on the benefits of gift exchange in the workplace as part of his end-of-year project.

They combined these interests to focus on what was clearly becoming an important new fact of life: working from home.

The trio created the company Snackcess, to provide gift boxes of healthy snacks for businesses to post to employees working at home.

The box contains high-end, healthy, branded snacks, the kind that you might find in organic food stores.

The team negotiate lower prices by buying directly from the manufacturers.

It was never meant to be a permanent venture, rather they thought of it as a stop gap, until the economy picked up again and they could find other jobs, explains Sonny.
