The classic challenger brand was inspired and is run by &lsquo;Ella&rsquo;s Dad&rsquo; Paul Lindley. The company has seized on the government&rsquo;s five a day programme to create healthy organic fruit and vegetable smoothies for children. Well researched with paediatricians and nutritionists, its slick and colourful pouches and packaging, appeals to parents and children alike. Lindley has shown ingenuity in securing national advertising through conglomerate Viacom on its Nickelodean channels for no upfront cash and has been afforded national shelf space in key multiples, namely Waitrose, Sainsbury&acirc;s and Holland &amp; Barrett, as well as 500 independent health food stores. Growth has been rapid, having been set up in January this year and Lindley showed entrepreneurial zeal in leaving a well-paid job and remortgaging to pursue it. More than 350,000 fruit smoothie pouches had been sold by May this year from a standing start.<\/p>\n<p>For more information visit&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ellaskitchen.co.uk\">www.ellaskitchen.co.uk<\/a>&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About the business Ella&rsquo;s Kitchen is a new brand of healthy organic foods for children.
