Talk to us about James Averdieck

In Detail

James spent 9 years in the food industry working for Safeway and St Ivel and learnt about Sales and Marketing and running businesses. With St Ivel he moved to Belgium and became a convert to Belgian gastronomy especially on the chocolate front. In Brussels, James came up with the idea for a top-notch chocolate pud brand. After a year back in London, James left to pursue his chocolate dream and Gü was born – with a mission to use superior raw materials to deliver uncompromisingly good products. Since indulging the masses in chocolate heaven, James has developed his media interests and acts as a business güru to various companies. After selling Gü he became a TV host of “Cooks to Market” and later co-founded a new company called The Coconut Collaborative.
