Gill Pearson
Gill began her entrepreneurial journey at Newberry International over 25 years ago. Recognising the early rise of smoothies, she created the first pre-portioned frozen smoothie sachet in 2002, transforming an inefficient process into a scalable, market-shaping innovation. She went on to build and design two UK manufacturing facilities equipped with bespoke, industry-leading machinery, enabling world-class production of premium frozen fruit, vegetables, smoothies, and chocolate-enrobed fruit products. Today, the company operates as a privately owned, nine-figure revenue business supplying more than 35 countries worldwide.
