Management School graduate launches new business offering healthy lunches
Matthew Evans, graduate of the Management School, has launched a new business that provides healthy lunches at venues across Liverpool including the University’s Sports Centre, the Accelerator Building on Liverpool Health Campus, the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, and the Royal Liverpool and Broadgreen Hospitals.
Matthew studied the Liverpool MBA at the Management School in 2015 which is when he first came up with the concept for Bite Club. After graduating he went on to work for the University in Business Gateway where he helped to develop a services model for Sensor City.
After continuing to develop the idea, Bite Club opened last October offering a highly nutritious alternative to the convenience food currently on offer in the area. Matthew now works there full time along with three Liverpool alumni who make up the main board.
Bite Club meals are prepared fresh each day and include various superfoods that contain essential vitamins, minerals and plant based phytochemicals to fuel the mind and body. There is also a Bite Club app offering daily meal deals and a free delivery service across the University campus.
Matthew said “The app is a really convenient educational platform. Customers can click and collect from one of our outlets or have their food delivered to their desk. Either way they can look at the nutritional information breakdown of their food through the app – micronutrients as well as macronutrients.”
Matthew and his team have also made efforts to ensure Bite Club is an environmentally sustainable green business with a low carbon footprint. Packaging is compostable and leftover consumable food is donated to the White Chapel and Missionaries of Charity homeless shelters.
More information on Bite Club is available on their website, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
