Kate Hofman, Founder and Chief Brand Officer of GrowUp Farms, has been nominated as a finalist in the prestigious 2023 Barclays Entrepreneur Awards in the Sustainability category. This honor highlights her unwavering dedication to sustainable agriculture and innovation in the vertical farming industry.
The Barclays Entrepreneur Awards are a celebration of businesses and individuals that are driving innovation and creating positive change in their industries. In particular, the Sustainability category recognizes entrepreneurs who are making a lasting impact on the environment, helping to shape a more sustainable world for future generations. Kate’s nomination is a testament to her leadership and GrowUp Farms’ commitment to reshaping the way we grow and consume food.
In the past decade, GrowUp Farms has evolved from a small aquaponic shipping container in London to become one of the UK’s most influential vertical farming companies. With their flagship farm, Pepperness in Kent, GrowUp Farms made history by launching the first-ever bagged salad brand in a major UK supermarket, providing a sustainable solution for everyday grocery shopping. Their farms utilize on-site renewable energy, reducing the environmental footprint of their operations, and allowing them to grow fresh produce with a minimal impact on the planet.
The winners of the 2023 Barclays Entrepreneur Awards, including the Sustainability category, will be announced in November. In the meantime, GrowUp Farms is also up for the People’s Choice Award, and they need your support to win! The award is decided by public vote, and you can show your support by casting your vote before September 29th.
