10,000 Champions: Vincent McKevitt gets tossed £1.5m
Vincent McKevitt gets tossed £1.5m.
Vincent McKevitt's healthy eating company Tossed has received £1.5m in development funding from Beringea.
McKevitt, 30, set up Tossed – a chain of healthy-eating outlets specialising in fresh tossed-to-order salads in 2005 – straight out of university. The self-proclaimed “top tosser and founder” has since been changing the way we eat. The company has six sites in London. The funding will be used to support the company’s growth.
McKevitt featured in Real Business's 30:30 Vision list of top young entrepreneurs earlier this year. He told Real Business: “I’ve always wanted to own a large business. “I want this to be a national brand. There’s no reason why there can’t be as many Tosseds as there are Pret A Mangers – healthy eating isn’t niche any more.” McKevitt expects sales to hit £3m this year.
