Article Abstract:
Richard Guy, who co-founded the Real Meat Co with his wife Gilly Metherell in 1986, believes that the company has been built on sincerity. He feels that their greatest challenge has been to identify the right method for the customer to purchase their products. He emphasizes that they would rather let the business expand gradually than make rushed decisions. His wife recalls that she was very attracted to his honesty and integrity. She greatly enjoys marketing, and is constantly presenting people with new ideas. She feels that they have been able to combine their relationship with running a business because they are still able to operate as individuals.

He feels that his own strengths lie in being creative in research and in motivating others, while Snowden's strengths lie in being both creative and organized. Snowden expresses admiration for Rhodes's dynamic approach, and also appreciates the way he allows family life to be separate from business.
