In this episode of Small Business Voices Wales, hosts Franck Banza and Kim Mamhende sit down with Hannah Worth, founder of Bowla Ltd — the startup behind the bowler-hat-shaped loaf that’s bringing creativity and innovation to Welsh baking.
At just 25, Hannah has already built two bakeries, managed a growing team, launched pop-ups, and navigated the challenges of running a retail unit in Swansea Market. In this honest conversation, she opens up about:
💡 How the idea for the Bowla loaf was born
🏪 Lessons learned from opening — and later closing
💸 The realities of finance, staffing, and scaling a small food business
🔥 Why resilience, creativity, and community support are key to entrepreneurship in Wales
🌍 What’s next for Bowla
Franck and Kim also reflect on what Hannah’s story reveals about the future of small business in Wales — from innovation to sustainability, and the importance of supporting young founders.
