TGt Meets... Chris Wooldridge

We had a chat with Chris Wooldridge - the founder of Fluffy Puffin; a brand new ice cream and sorbet business offering up the freshest, silkiest, and most luxurious ice cream and sorbet in the South West. Here's what he had to say about his business!

What inspired your choice of business location?

Calne, the town I call home.

Describe your business in 3 words…

Innovative, Interactive, Insane-flavours!

What advice would you give anyone looking to do the same?

Stop procrastinating and jump! There’ll always be plenty of reasons that ‘now is not the right time to start my first business’ but if you're still thinking about it, then it is! I have a 2 year old daughter and my second baby due in October, sure this might not be the ideal time for me either, but that only inspires me to jump higher!

How do you like to spend your time off?

Hahaha… I’d love some time off! I’m trying hard to find a balance to see as much as I can of my baby girl and my wife!

What have been your key challenges and how have you overcome them?

Time management. I’m a chef by trade, business, meetings, internet technology, social media and so on don’t come naturally to me so trying to learn everything as I go along is a challenge.

Your 2pm meeting has been cancelled, meaning you now have a two-hour lunch break. What do you do?

This sounds like another world I’m afraid. I’ve never had a 1 hour lunch break let alone 2.

What has been your biggest achievement to date?

My family.

What are your plans for the future?

Build on our initial momentum and push to make Fluffy Puffin a great success. We have such a lovely product and service, it’s now about reaching people to show them exactly what we can do.
