GASTRONOMY FOODS UK LIMITED
Working alongside property company LARS Investments , the business now supports over 1,500 staff members .
However , it has not all been plain sailing for Gastronomy Foods . The credit crunch in 2007 occurred as the company was in the middle of building its store in Aberystwyth and relocating two other stores .
“ I had been promised bank funding of close to £ 1mn , but the bank pulled the plug on the loan a week before I needed it ,” explains Khan . “ Nonetheless , I was determined to achieve my goals , so I borrowed as much as I could and managed to cover £ 600k and the rest through leasing equipment .”

“The thing I liked about KFC was the providence . Fresh chicken , handmade , in store . These are the things that really appealed to me ”
