Will Pepper

Velocity Co-Founder

Will had been in Customer Service for many years, when he discovered cycling as a stress-buster and rapidly transformed into a fully-fledged MAMIL (middle-aged man in Lycra). He and Jake combined their shared passions and formed Velocity in 2022. Will loves nothing more than delivering the OxFarm to Fork goods to the colleges and getting first-hand feedback on the produce from the chefs themselves.
Will's favourite vegetable is cauliflower - especially when accompanied by a quality cheese sauce!

Jake Swinhoe

Velocity Co-Founder

After 15 years in the Organic Vegetable industry Jake decided to find a more sustainable way of delivering the goods so co-founded Velocity. Bringing together a love of agro ecological food production and zero emission transport has been a great mix and the perfect fit for the OxFarm to Fork project.
Jake's favourite vegetable is the fennel - which he likes to slow roast with olive oil, garlic & a handful of parmesan
