A co-founder of investment platform AJ Bell and the owner of a two-starred Michelin restaurant has invested £1.2m in a healthy meal delivery provider founded by a former rugby league player and his wife.
Andy Bell, who is stepping down as the Salford-based company's CEO on October 1, has joined with Fergus Lyons, a former director at AJ Bell, to back Warrington-based Fuel Hub. Mr Bell also owns restaurant Moor Hall.
The business was founded in 2019 by husband-and-wife team, James and Michelle Laithwaite.
