To develop the business to where it is today, Barbell Foods’ CFO and co-founder Tom Hutchinson had to get right outside his comfort zone when the business was just starting out. But it gave him valuable skills he has been able to draw on as the company has grown. Tom and his three co-founders, Matt, Luke and Rory, all South African natives, started Barbell to make healthy, sustainable meat snacks to keep people satiated until their next meal.
