Coming from an entrepreneurial family, where both of my parents were business owners, I am taking great joy and pride in my work, providing the best technologies for business. Usually, you will find me up and down Scotland in one of the Graham’s depots, if not watching the rugby, F1, or trying the latest new restaurant!

Having spent 5 years growing IA Cubed into one of the best Microsoft Cloud Practices in Scotland, I am

currently enjoying the new challenges of working inhouse where I can really take ownership of projects and held drive the business through technology.

I am a huge Cloud and Microsoft evangelist, having been one of the very first people to implement Office 365 in the UK, I am constantly investigating and implementing the latest technologies especially in the cloud space where they are most appropriate to the business.

Jonathan Lodge CEO City Farm Systems Ltd Originally qualifying to teach Design Technology Jonathan preferred to do rather than teach. Working through various roles in construction Jonathan ended up running a joinery shop and needing to teach accountants how to use Sage. After a recession proved the business too small to be big yet too big to be small Jonathan moved into interim finance roles where his small business knowledge proved very useful in many large organisations. After creating the process to move Avery Dennison’s Inter-company Accountant roles to a new Europe wide shared service Jonathan moved into the public sector and showed how some significant savings could be made. Driving home one night Jonathan needed to buy food and ended up stuck behind a supermarket lorry only yards from the store.

Once inside the shelves were bare and a light bulb was lit. Thus started the process of bringing together many life experiences to create a new business model.

Along the way Jonathan has won a Special Merit Award for Food & Drink at the 2015 Great British Entrepreneur Awards, created a winning concept in the Royal Bank of Scotland’s Innovation Gateway and was a finalist in the 2degrees Champion Awards 2015.

Kim Antoniou Founder Kafoodle KAFOODLE combines my twin passions of technology and food safety.

After developing major online and mobile software solutions for the construction industry I am now building a new venture.

In early 2014, I heard about new food-labelling laws and realised that my expertise could be used by the catering industry. I decided to channel all my energies into developing a very simple system designed to help food and drink businesses manage their menus and compliance. That information could further be used to provide `allergy-free’ menus to diners, via a mobile app.

I have personal experience of the perils of having a food allergy. My husband of 30 years, Ron, is a severeallergy sufferer. In 2013 he nearly died from an attack in a restaurant after he was given incorrect information by waiting staff regarding a dish’s ingredients. This extremely worrying incident gave me an extra incentive to improve the situation for both caterers and diners.

I teamed up with long-term friend and hospitality expert Tarryn Gorre and together we set about scoping and designing Kafoodle.

By developing Kafoodle we have created the the perfect platform to allow us to journey on a crusade to make all food transparent and my personal mission is to particularly create awareness around food allergies and encourage the use of data and mobile technology in the hospitality industry so that ultimately, we can all eat with confidence.
