Variety is the spice of life, they say.
Instead, we're talking about how Ludlow's Pizza Girls – Angela Twigg and Sara Thomas – have enjoyed careers full of variety.
Sara does have a background as a trained chef, having previously worked for the Forte Group in places such as Stratford, Windsor and London, as well working in Spain.“It was great to have a change of direction,” says Sara. “For me, I have always liked doing very practical things where you do something and can then see an end result."“We started doing plastering as a hobby but we then found, particularly a lot of older women, wanted us to go and do work for them.
“We always wanted a pizza oven as Sara had been a chef and so went to the Centre for Alternative Technology in Wales and built one! The response was overwhelmingly positive. The local pub, the Bennett’s End Inn, then invited the pair to make pizzas.“We launched it there and it became so popular and we turned it into a business.”They were originally called Mother Earth Pizza but, Angela remembers: “Every time people in Ludlow saw us, they would just say ‘there are the pizza girls!’ And so it stuck. We changed our name and rebranded. It was risky but we went big.
“I think we just love meeting people,” continues Sara. “It is hard work and long hours, the preparation before and packing away after.
