CO-FOUNDER
John has over 30 years’ experience in the IT industry where he spent 10 years working in Senior Management roles for Oracle Corporation and is currently a Management Consultant. The idea for Food4Heroes came as the first lockdown was announced. Working with his sister Amanda Guest who owns a catering company, John quickly formed a large team and created the infrastructure which allowed Food4Heroes to scale so rapidly and so successfully.

Amanda has over 30 years’ experience in the catering industry and runs Guest Dining, a successful venue for private dining and pop-up events in Farnley Tyas.
