Women Who Launch: Amelia Christie-Miller of Bold Bean Co
22nd October 2025
“I’m here to show you that the food you have so long neglected can be exceptionally delicious,” says Amelia Christie-Miller as she looks directly at the camera before walking in to make her pitch on the legendary show Dragons’ Den. Standing in front of the dragons, Amelia told the story of how she had a revelation while living in Spain that involved, of all things, beans. The hungry student found herself at home, too lazy to cook, and with only a jar of beans in the cupboard. After eating a spoonful straight from the jar, she was astonished to find they were delicious, especially compared to the tinned versions she was used to in the UK. Armed with a lifelong passion for food and years working as a private chef before eventually diving into foodtech—notably, she worked at sustainability startup Foodchain where she spearheaded its growth and partnerships strategy—Amelia founded Bold Bean Co in 2021 with a mission to make the world fall in love with beans.

The Co-Founder Of SURI On Rethinking Sustainability
11th October 2024
SURI was born from the experiences of its co-founders, who both previously worked at consumer goods giant Procter & Gamble. The staggering realisation that billions of plastic products are discarded each year inspired them to rethink how everyday items like toothbrushes could be redesigned to minimise environmental impact. SURI’s innovation lies in creating a product that not only provides a superior brushing experience but is also recyclable, durable, and an attractive addition to any bathroom. The brand has now established itself as a cutting-edge oral care brand so The Sybarite was excited to sit down with co-founder, Mark Rushmore, to find out more.
