Things that make you go oooooo
Fighter Shots
Fighter Shots create daily energy shots from a range of ginger, turmeric and
manuka honey aiming to boost and proactively protect immunity. The Ginger +
Manuka Honey shot is the first such shot in the UK!
Anna Szymanowska founded the business in 2019 at London Business School’s
Incubator and by Q2 2020 it had over 50,000 shots sold across the UK. Kavita Madhvani
joined her a few months ago, when they also started exporting to the UAE.
Fighter Shots started raising funds to expand the business even further. The fundraising
campaign was so successful, that they reached their target within 24 hours and now are
overfunding at crowdcube.com/fightershots.

Mockingbird Spirit
Developed and launched during the 2020 Covid-19 pandemic by Fern McCoy. A one of
its kind, uniquely designed recipe using authentic blue agave straight from Mexico, as
well as the added adaptogen ashwagandha giving it health and wellbeing benefits.
Embodying the spirit of the Mockingbird, humbly mimicking the traditional taste of
Tequila, it allows you to have all the margaritas with none of the consquential migraines
due to its 0% Alcohol content.
Ashwagandha is an adaptogen, meaning it helps your body manage stress and anxiety
whilst being a natural energy booster. Sparkle your way through the day, into the evening
and wake up the next day still glittering.

The Woolf’s Kitchen
The Woolf’s Kitchen is the brainchild of Leith’s trained food writer, Dominique
Woolf. Inspired by her Thai auntie’s recipes, she has created a range of fresh, sweet
and spicy sauces that are just as delicious with cheese toasties, barbecues and
burritos as they are with noodles and stir-fries.
Dominique launched The Woolf’s Kitchen during lockdown - and with no childcare. Her
kids have been on deliveries and even to meetings with her. In just two months she
is already stocked in nearly 25 independents, with 350 bottles also going out in a hot
sauce subscription box.
