TEAM

THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN TRUSTEES AT THE SCHOOL FOR POP-UPS.

In writing this (Matt at Union St here) I wanted to tell you the brief story of what we’ve done so far to get our charity started. So far, I’ve reached out to key people at Union St for whom I’ve got a lot of respect and trust, to give the organisation a strong foundation. Our current Trustees are;

Danny Pinch (Trustee)

Winner of the Best Vegetarian Dish at the British Street Food Awards 2021 and Northern Champion of the British Street Food Awards 2020. Danny’s first weekly residency was at Union St where he accessed 1-to-1 support from the School For Pop-Ups Business Advisor Greg Tipper, pivoting from trading as Pinch N’ Pull to re-branding as Pellizco, before ‘graduating’ to take daily premises at Cutlery Works. It’s there you’ll find Danny serving Mexican inspired street food, with menus designed around flavour, texture and presentation, with more info Danny’s upcoming pop-ups and catering services at https://pellizco.co.uk/
