Blog Entry 1 – w/c 6th October 2014

Why did we choose to audit Graze?

When looking for companies within the Crisp/Savory snack market, there did not seem to be any companies that stood out to us as a unique, fresh company, that would interest us. We brainstormed looking at lots of different companies, but settled on Graze as it would tick all of the boxes for our group. When researching into the company we discovered that one of the 7 founding members attended UWE.
