Our People

From running community food education projects and sustainable restaurants to influencing food policy and launching Men’s Pie Club, Jamie’s all about using food to bring people together and improve health and wellbeing. He’s also the founder of Food Nation and Harissa, and has worked with schools, public health teams and national campaigns to make good food more accessible. He started MPC to help men connect, cook from scratch, and feel part of something – one pie at a time. His goal? To see Men’s Pie Club in every part of the country and beyond – strengthening social connection and belonging through food. Favourite pie: slow-cooked beef cheek and onion in a rich beer gravy!

Chris has more than 20 years’ experience working in an educational and social welfare setting. He committed to helping people and communities improve their lives and reach their true potential. Overseeing MPC’s work on the ground, building our network and helping to develop our future steps is what keeps Chris awake at night! He is also passionate about food and cooking, and four years and thousands of pies haven’t put him off cooking just yet. Favourite pie: mapo tofu (Sichuan-style tofu in a spicy sauce).
