Parsley Box is building a phenomenal brand and provides a service that caters to the demands of an underserved baby boomer plus demographic, broadly defined as those aged 60 and over. It has proven its value to many new customers through the Covid-19 pandemic, but its potential is far greater and more enduring than that, with ambitious plans to develop the brand and a high-growth business that will stand the test of time. Chris and Paddy invested in a sector and a management team that they believe is positioned for success Chris is chairman of the company.

Chris and Paddy have been supportive investors in the Parsley Box growth journey. As entrepreneurs, they understand that backing management teams is the key to superior returns.
