At idelica.com you’ll find fabulous food and drink from carefully-selected producers on the Continent, often the result of following age-old family or local recipes and using ingredients of incredible quality. These foods are finely-tuned using the producer’s passion for perfection and their investment in new food research and technologies to make their foods fit for commercial export, being certain to replicate – and some cases exceed – the quality of their traditional, hand-produced predecessors.
Idelica was started by Emma Lopez-Johnson who started out in the speciality food industry by co-founding the Spanish food import and distribution company Edeli Ltd in 2005. Most of her previous adult life was spent working in publishing in London, but she grew up in Dorset on big rations of the famous Andalucian appetite for life and tapas inflicted by the Spanish family on her father’s side on countless Summer visits to Almeria.
The Institute of Entrepreneurs is a think-tank formed in October 2010 to defend and promote entrepreneurialism in the UK. Co-founders include Luke Johnson, the former Chairman of Channel 4, FT columnist and highly-regarded entrepreneur.
The Institute is seeking one or more interns for ad-hoc administrative duties and research assignments. Duties will vary, but will include web research, social media tasks, membership liaison, and personal assistance to co-founder Jason Dunne and other co-founders as required. This is an opportunity to work with influential entrepreneurs and to establish a significant network of contacts.
