Where did you grow up? Cate - Lichfield (Staffordshire) Aliki -Greece What was your favourite lesson in school? Cate - I loved art but was rubbish at it. But I did enjoy Biology. Aliki - Art What did you want to be when you grew up? Cate - performer/theatre manager - I ended up working as a speech and language therapist for 15 years before giving it all up for BeanBlock Aliki - wanted to own a hotel but also wanted to be a psychologist as I wanted to help people. How did you meet? In the library at a baby group - we formed the company less than a month after meeting! Our ideas were so aligned. BeanBlock was definitely formed from experience of being parents and trying to eat out with small children.
