One Planet Pizza, the Future 50 food company launched by father and son Mike and Joe Hill, is poised for dramatic growth after securing a £365,000 investment.
A significant contribution came from the angel investors in the Anglia Capital Group who backed the Norwich-based business, with £90,000. A Dragon’s Den style pitch to New Anglia Capital, the equity investment fund set up by New Anglia Local Enterprise Partnership, secured a further £25,000 and the rest came from other private investors, and plant based investment funds.

The size of 31 football pitches, a new business park near the A14 in Stowmarket could be Suffolk’s biggest ever. As the first official plans emerge, Emily Townsend investigates.
There are 156 planning documents for the huge Gateway 14 project – one for every acre of farmland purchased for the development by the Mid Suffolk District Council (MSDC) owned company behind the project.
Straddling the A14 between Cedars Park housing estate and the Muntons factory, on arable land already with outline planning permission, the giant project is expected to be built over the next 10 to 15 years.
