Mojo Box – the new kid on the office food block is already booming. Set up with kitchens in Bethnal Green, Mojo Box delivers its vibrant, nutrient-rich lunches to offices in Shoreditch and the City.
Philippe Fraser, from Mojo Box, says “We are finding many London based companies are taking an active interest in the wellbeing of their staff, and are making office-wide healthy choices. Most companies realise food and vitality are linked, and want to act accordingly.”
Mojo Box offers delicious, carefully crafted lunch boxes and platters for offices in central London. The food is clean, healthy and packed with nutrients, as well as being delicious with indulgent flavours.
“85%+ of employees say that receiving free food at work would make them feel valued and appreciated by their employer”, says Fraser. “You can’t achieve that with another round of stodgy sandwiches. We provide something fresh, tasty and appealing. If you are going to the trouble of providing food, then it might as well be amazing!”
Mojo Box has companies buying weekly lunches for the first time. “We thought company-wide orders were a blip, but we soon realised that companies were getting something out of it. Clients tell us that during Mojo lunches, they notice a renewed sense of teamwork amongst their staff, triggering better problem solving and greater productivity. They say having people eat together at the office also builds a sense of community”
The company was built from the ground up by an ethical team of entrepreneurs, with varied backgrounds. The founder, Philippe Fraser, comes from a bilingual nursery background where his principals of care & compassion brings a welcome change to London’s crowded lunch scene. “We wanted to create something special that isn’t already available. At the nurseries we designed very healthy balanced meals – we didn’t want sugar rushes or food comas. I realised office workers deserve the same care and attention as they do not often have time or options available. We want to satisfy their desire for something clean, healthy, and interesting” says Fraser.
Mojo Box lists innovative companies as well as established names with great reputations for staff retention as its customers. “At first it was Media & Fashion taking an interest, but it is not just about providing platters for events for the usual suspects who have become customers. The majority of our sales are to people who work in offices. We have customers who work at Fitch, Moodys, Bank of America, YouView TV, University College London, Goldman Sachs to name but a few, as well as companies like Stella McCartney” says Fraser.
Most people enjoy variety and Mojo Box’s lunches have taken this concept and infused it into their signature boxes and platters. “When our concept chefs designed these lunches, we wanted a variety of nutrition with flavour-packed ingredients – and we wanted something playful. So each lunch box has a range of textures. Some things you can eat with a fork and some items you can pick up with your hands. There are creamy items as well as fresh crunchy items. There is food in a wide range of colours. All the variety you would want in a proper meal.”
The Mojo Box team is a small but dedicated team with focus on precision and a high commitment to delivering the freshest product possible. This helps marry the joy of food with the busy pace of demanding Londoners.
“Our clients are busy running companies and want the highest quality ingredients for their staff with no hassle. They want to make a single decision and know everything is ethically sourced and produced. Once the order is placed, it needs to be effortless for them – and it is as we deliver! They have busy demanding lives, and want a nutritional boost for their whole office to keep them going. We aim to give them their Mojo back” says Philippe Fraser. It is difficult to argue with that.
