PORTABLE pizza oven company Uuni has signed a deal that will see its range available in John Lewis shops across the UK.
Broxburn-based Uuni launched in 2012, bringing to the market what is believed to be the world’s first portable wood-fired pizza oven.
Now, following a successful online trial of its flagship Uuni 3 oven and accessories at John Lewis, the retailer is taking on a range of products across 48 shops.
Since the launch of its first oven, the company has used a succcessfuly crowd-sourcing programme to raise funds, which helped it launch the Uuni 3 and the Uuni Pro, which can be fuelled with wood, charcoal, wood-pellets or gas.
Established by husband and wife team Kristian Tapaninaho and Darina Garland, the business now exports to a number of countries, including the US and Australia thanks to the Uuni’s 60 second cooking time.
Finnish-born Mr Tapaninaho, said: “John Lewis is synonymous with quality and style, so to have our products now visible to the eyes of their customers in shops following an initial run online, is just fantastic.
“We’re always striving to innovate and evolve our products to make exceptional eating experiences more accessible and we’re really pleased to have John Lewis on that journey with us now. We have a great community of Uuni users and we’re looking forward to expanding our community.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
