The Green Vic - Expert Impact

Randy Rampersad,

The Green Vic

Met with Meg Lustman

The Green Vic is aiming to be the world’s most ethical pub.

During a three month pop up the pub employed five vulnerable staff (3 homeless and 2 ex-offenders), raised £2000 for local charities, and made further impact courtesy of the drinks list, which included Ignition beer, which employs and trains people with learning disabilities, and Toast Ale, which fights food waste by using surplus bread to make beer. They also fed 27 homeless people too.

Following the successful pop up, The Green Vic is looking for a permanent home.

Meg has a wealth of knowledge & was incredibly helpful with her advice in a number of areas for my company. She’s incredibly friendly & I would highly recommend her to any entrepreneur.
