Carolyn Claire Creswell is an Australian businesswoman and television host. She is best known as the founder of the Australian brand Carman’s Fine Foods.
What business did Carolyn Creswell start?
Carman’s was founded in 1992 by Carolyn Creswell. The then 18-year-old first-year university student bought the small muesli business where she worked part-time for $1,000. At the time, they supplied a few cafes and delis around Melbourne.
Bursting with excitement about the potential of her new adventure, Creswell bought a half-share in the company for $1,000, alongside her co-founder (who was involved for two years), and went on to grow the business into a booming health foods enterprise.
Why did Carolyn Creswell become an entrepreneur?
Carolyn Creswell first learned how to make muesli at a small bakery in Hawksburn, Victoria. Creswell was 18 when the owners told her the business would be sold and she would most likely lose her part-time job. And so began what would become the multi-million dollar success story of Carman’s Fine Foods.
