Shaz Shah is co-founder of Harry Specters, a business which makes lovingly handcrafted chocolates. Its products have won 22 Awards for their taste and quality.
It’s also a business with a mission: to offer paid employment to, and free training for, young people with autism.
"You can have a great business and also contribute to society," says Shah who covers:
- why the business was launched
- how it grew from a home-based operation to taking on premises
- where the name came from
- why chocolate-making, which requires specialised skills, offers great opportunities to people with autism
- funding the business' development and growth through a mixture of grants, loan finance, equity, and "chocolate bonds"
- securing the first corporate customers
- the biggest challenges and opportunities, so far
