ABOUT FWIP
We are fwip, creators of the worlds smallest gelateria and one of the UKs most exciting food technology companies. We're super proud of what we're doing with our iconic Portobello ice cream machine and a whopping 31 Gold Stars (and counting…) from the Great Taste Awards for our gelato, vegan sorbets and frozen yogurt. Already in over 2,000 locations across the UK, Ireland, Germany, Austria, the Netherlands and Sweden - were investing heavily in our growth.
Most companies laud their secret recipes, fancy innovations, or even luck as the reason behind their success. At fwip, while we eat too much ice cream (fact), we have some pretty great innovations - and believe that the harder we work, the more luck we seem to have. The secret sauce that has us going strong is our people - and that includes our visionary VC investors that have our back!
