Concepts to consider

Investing in the bold and bright future of the industry

EP finds itself in a privileged position to get to know about some of the most exciting stories occurring in the industry. These fledgling concepts are led by entrepreneurs that inspire and bring innovation and passion to a sector that is constantly looking to reinvent itself with higher quality offerings. Such young companies are the future and they are often in need of funding to achieve the next level of success.

Companies such as BrewDog, River Cottage and Chilango are some of the most recent to raise funds.
