Susan knew she could do better by selling simple, nutritious food that people could trust to support their daily healthier living aspirations; crackers that offered just the right mix of ‘the pep’ and taste, ‘the lekker’.

Juliette, Susan’s sister-in-law and close friend was also looking for a change of direction and so together they huddled over mixing bowls and ovens to come up with something a little different from the norm. As novices into the world of food & drink, and with a global pandemic lurking in the shadows, the ‘early years’ were full of unexpected ‘twists and turns. Inevitably, the life of an entrepreneur is not for everyone, and after 3 years Juliette took the decision to step back so that Susan could continue to pursue her dream.

With a few years industry knowledge under her belt, coupled with some fantastic support from her team, Susan remains very excited about the long and winding road that lies in front of her.

Now, more than ever consumers are prioritising good health and the wider planet, and Susan believes Pep & Lekker’s new multi-seed crackers are perfectly placed to play their part in the blossoming health and wellness debate.

Our new crackers are featured in the British Baker and this month's Bakery and Snacks
