Jamie Oliver is a global phenomenon in food and campaigning. During a 25-year TV and publishing career, he’s sold over 50 million books worldwide, and his TV series are watched by millions of people around the globe. As a result, Jamie has inspired a generation to enjoy cooking fresh, delicious food from scratch, publishing 29 best-selling cookery books, all with accompanying TV shows.

A proud founder of a B Corp organisation, Jamie has always been passionate about getting kids into cooking, and the earlier the better! The Ministry Of Food community centres across the UK help to support this, with an aim to teach 1 million people essential cooking skills and nutrition by 2030. He funds this vital work through a circular-funding model on all of his commercial products. His portfolio of successful restaurants now spans 23 countries around the world across 62 sites, and his growing range of quality food and kitchen products includes everything from saucepans, dinnerware, serveware, and utensils to frozen meal centres and veg sides, ready-to-eat grains, spice pastes, and much more.

Jamie started cooking at his parents’ pub, The Cricketers, in Clavering, Essex, at the tender age of eight. After leaving school he began a career as a chef that took him to the celebrated River Café, where he was famously spotted by a television producer, and the Naked Chef was born. Through his campaigns team, and working alongside the youth movement BiteBack, Jamie is on a mission to inspire and enable more people to experience the joys and benefits of cooking and enjoying nutritious, sustainable, and balanced meals. This desire to make food fairer for all sits at the heart of Jamie’s company-wide goal of creating a happier, healthier world through the joy of food.
