You and Yours Gap Finders: Jonathan Fell
Founder of The Ice Cream Farm, Jonathan Fell, talks about how he wanted to combine leisure with ice cream to reach a new market.
Today's Gap Finder is Jonathan Fell. He's the founder and Managing Director of the Ice Cream Farm, near Tattenhall in Cheshire. What does it do? Well, it does ice cream as a tourist attraction.
It all started in 1986, when Jonathan's parents, dairy farmers Tom and Margaret Fell saw a gap in the market for real dairy ice cream.
Today the business is split into two key strands, production and leisure, with the attraction welcoming more than half a million people each year. Since 2015, more than 拢5 million has been spent on its 'complete redevelopment'. According to the attraction's website, it now holds the Guinness World Record for the largest ice cream shop in the world and biggest sand and water play area in Europe.
