Building a brand = Jump off the cliff and build the plane on the way down

“there are no set rules to build a challenger brand”

Will and Josh, from Willy’s Pies live and breath those adages

Brash oblivion confidence -

mixed with naive intelligence

• tempered with a big ol’ dose of cynical pragmatism good humour

Willy’s Pies is the wonderful story of

action = momentum.

momentum = magic.

magic = more momentum = more magic.

Will, a chef at BRAT and St. John was furloughed, for long, he made taste-tantalising pies.

Will pie-peddled on pie-purveying bike around East London during Lockdown.

Josh, The Operator, joined Will in 2021, from double glaze windows to take Willy’s NEXT LEVEL

4 years later

• Launched and got it wrong at Watford Football Club (tonnes of learnings here).
• Secured Ian Wright as a key investor, collaborated with wagamama,
• Won HUGE BRANDED listings at Arsenal Football Club, Fulham & Football Clubs
• Launched into Ocado

Deeply believe Willy’s Pies are the NEXT BIG challenger brand.
