Meet Our Team
Our Founders
Hello! We’re Ali and Emily, the dynamic mother-daughter duo behind Pow Food. With backgrounds in luxury hospitality and catering, we founded Pow Food in 2017 with a mission to revolutionise workplace catering with nutrition-first, sustainable food solutions.
During the lockdown, we developed and launched Pow At Home, our chef-prepared meal delivery service. Our goal was to set a new standard in the home market for quality and nutrition.
Our passion for flavourful, nutritious food stems from our own journeys with nutrition and the understanding that what we eat can serve as a “preventative cure” for many health conditions. In a world overflowing with low-quality convenience foods, we believe it’s more important than ever to care about what we eat.
That’s why we’ve made it our mission to empower our customers to enjoy high-quality, nutrient-rich meals that support both personal health and environmental sustainability every day.
Warm regards,
Ali and Emily

He trained as a chef, working in some of the best restaurants in London and had worked as a Head Chef for 20 years.
