Meet the Makers: Louisa’s Honey

Founders: Simon, Peter and Louisa
Our unique story of how we came about the discovery of this extraordinary products began after our separate businesses were severely stung by the Pandemic. Peter’s one to one golf tuition business came to a holt and Simon left the swarm of black taxis in the fields of Epping forest.

Friends and neighbours, Simon and Peter, decided to embark on a road trip through Italy. Only to discover a black and yellow swarm of a different kind, in the fields of Italy instead.
In the wake of the pandemic, many businesses have not only survived but thrived, adapting to new challenges and embracing innovative strategies to propel their success in a transformed economic landscape. The honey market was no different, but keen to ensure their dream took flight, Simon and Peter spread their wings, and honey, and have never looked back!
What inspired you to start your own independent food business?
While on our tour through the hills of Tuscany, we discovered the real nectar of Italy! A honey production site that we landed on by chance. We were blown away by what we saw during our exploration and we were just mesmerised by their individual tastes, colours, textures and aromas.
We returned home from our road trip buzzing with excitement and the honey stuck on our minds. With one fixating goal to share these extraordinary quality and range of honeys with the UK. To make it available on our doorstep and on our supermarket shelves.
So was born the exciting range of Louisa’s Honey. Our brand name Louisa’s Honey, bears an emotional and family significance. Louisa being the name of the Simon’s wife, and also of the late mother of Peter. So perfectly connects both families in business together.
