Higgidy is a UK based company established in 2003 making handmade pies and quiches in West Sussex[1]. It is run by husband and wife team Camilla Stephens and James Foottit. As a small supplier the company achieved a breakthrough in 2006 when it was successfully selected to supply Sainsbury's supermarkets as part of the "Supply Something New" scheme[2]. Since then the company has seen significant growth and by early 2008 had already achieved a turnover of £3.2M with a workforce of 50 employees[3]. The word 'higgidy' was made up by a small child and refers to the fact that all of higgidy's pies are individual and imperfectly shaped because they are handmade.
