ABOUT VANESSA GILPIN
My life revolves around food and I’m fortunate to run two organisations built around it.I’m Director of AndMunch - an online marketplace that helps companies and event organisers find and book food trucks and mobile bars for events across the UK.I’m also Founder of Gathering Ground - a food-led social enterprise in Glasgow that works with communities through growing, cooking and hospitality.Since moving to Glasgow in 2015 to study an MA in History, I’ve found my place building businesses that bring people together around food. While the two organisations serve different purposes, they share the same foundation: supporting local businesses, creating opportunities and building stronger communities.Along the way I’ve been grateful to receive recognition including: Scottish EDGE – Young EDGE Winner (2019) Scottish EDGE – Main Award Winner (2024)+ Pathways Award for Female-Led Business Institute of Directors – Director of the Year Finalist (Glasgow & West Scotland, 2020) Great British Entrepreneur Awards – Food & Drink Finalist (Scotland)If you’re looking for catering for an event: h••••@andmunch.co.ukIf you’re interested in community projects around food: h••••@gatheringground.org
