Founder at Boka Food Ltd
📍 Greater Southampton Area, United Kingdom

Franco Beer is the founder of Boka Food Ltd, a company he started after being unable to find genuinely healthy snacks for his children. He is a food development specialist who created the UKs only cereal bar with four green traffic lights, signifying it is low in fat, sugar, and salt.

His Italian heritage inspired the companys name, Boka, which is a play on "bocca, " the Italian word for mouth. He recently spearheaded a £2 million investment to open a dedicated, nut-free factory in Winchester, Hampshire to control production quality and expand innovation.

After his co-packer ceased trading, he personally led the effort to build his own SALSA-approved factory in just seven months, a project he described as a "real labour of love. "
