You have probably received an email or two from us, interacted with our team on social media, placed an order with our customer service or on-trade teams or maybe you've had a response to your Trustpilot review. What do all of these things have in common? Team SP of course!

Who are Team SP?

We have a great team. A small team but a mighty one. If there's one thing we know for certain about Team SP it's that each and every person at Snaffling Pig, whether behind the scenes or on the face of it, live what it is to be a part of this porky piggin' family. 

As the self-appointed director of fun, bants, the only person I know with a Snaffling Pig tattoo and of course, the Social Pig, I thought it was time for you - our pork heroes - to get to know the faces behind the names.

Meet Team Snaffling Pig:

We asked some of our team members 4 (supposedly easy) questions - here's what they said:

Jon - Head of Gifting & Export

  • What is your favourite SP porky ware and why? Salt 'N' Vinegar Pork Crackling - awesomely tangy!
  • What is your favourite 90s movie? The Matrix
  • One word you use far too frequently to the annoyance of others? "Obviously"
  • "In my spare time I enjoy... chewin' the fat with family and friends!

George - Marketing Legend

  • What is your favourite SP porky ware and why? Mighty Colman's Mustard. A proper kick to the ol' sinuses, especially when you get down to wrong, but oh-so-right magic porky dust at the bottom of the bag. Gotta get your kicks somehow, right?
  • What is your favourite 90s movie? Wayne's World. Schwing.
  • One word you use far too frequently to the annoyance of others? 'Legend', and 'piggin''. Obvs. And 'obvs', actually. All occupational hazards when working at SP.
  • "In my spare time, I enjoy... Pretty sure I'm supposed to sound cultured or active at this point, but instead I'll be honest. I spend a lot of time thinking about new products, flavours and swine-based puns while listening to early 90s hip hop. Oh, and spending time with my family. That too.

Shevy - Social Media Legend (that's me)

  • What is your favourite SP porky ware and why? Caramelised Honey & Chilli peanuts… sweet with a kick, just like me!
  • What is your favourite 90s movie? The Craft
  • One word you use far too frequently to the annoyance of others? In the office, TikTok (scares everyone away, not sure why?) 
  • "In my spare time I enjoy... running, playing Fortnite, getting tattooed and watching endless Netflix serial killer documentaries. 

Rachel - Customer Service Champion

  • What is your favourite SP porky ware and why?
    Black Pepper and sea salt crackling and really cold chorizo bites! Yum!
  • What is your favourite 90s movie?

    Erm…… ‘Oh dear’ maybe?
  • "In my spare time I enjoy... spending time with my daughter and husband, cooking and reading.

Sarah - Operations & Events Manager

  • What is your favourite SP porky ware and why? Salt 'N' Vinegar Crackling!  Gimme the Piggin' FLAVOUR 
  • What is your favourite 90s movie?  10 Things I Hate About You... Absolute Classic
  • One word you use far too frequently to the annoyance of others? "Umm..." (I'm the worst for losing my trail of thought!)
  • "In my spare time I enjoy...  a good old beasting at the gym followed by a cheeky beer garden. It's all about balance right?

Jo - Head of Finance

  • What is your favourite SP porky ware and why? Porky puffs, little puffs of porky magic
  • What is your favourite 90s movie?  So many to choose but I love Pretty Woman….1990 so only just

  • "In my spare time I enjoy... walking, gardening, sending time with my two Raggies and a glass or two of rosé.

Matt - On-Trade Account Manager

  • What is your favourite SP porky ware and why? Chorizo Bites - The Chorizo Bites are full of flavour with a slight kick! They are perfect to accompany a pint, or as a snack when I am on the go! I've even tried them in pastas and on top of pizzas, they really are the best!
  • What is your favourite 90s movie? Happy Gilmore!
  • One word you use far too frequently to the annoyance of others? Probably talking about golf, fishing or football haha! 
  • ​​"In my spare time I enjoy...  When not spreading the porky magic, I enjoy spending a weekend fishing. I also enjoy golf on a warm summer's afternoon, even if they are far to come by in the UK! I follow Chelsea Football Club up and down the country and spending time with friends and family fills a lot of my spare time, especially with 13 nieces and nephews!

Andrea - Head of On-Trade

  • What is your favourite SP porky ware and why? Colmans Mustard, reminds me of Roast dinners when I was younger
  • What is your favourite 90s movie?  Dumb & Dumber (Can't believe I am admitting to that lol)
  • One word you use far too frequently to the annoyance of others? Amazing or Eggy
  • "In my spare time I enjoy... seeing friends, going to the pub, walks and listening to inspiring and motivational podcasts

Richard - Operations Director

  • What is your favourite SP porky ware and why? Hands down; Pig of Doom. I am that idiot who goes straight for the Vindaloo (or hotter).
  • What is your favourite 90s movie?  I desperately wanted to say Road House with Patrick Swayze and [the legend] Sam ‘Wade Garrett’ Elliot but that was sadly 1989, so I’ll have to go for Point Break which is the 2nd most quotable film ever (after Road House!)
  • One word you use far too frequently to the annoyance of others? “Really?” or “Just..”. If someone ask you to do something truly difficult, they always start with “Just..”!
  • "In my spare time I enjoy ... Golfer, carp/fly angler – just got to be outside, close to, on or under water.

Udhi - Co-Founder

  • What is your favourite SP porky ware and why? The Pig Night In. My favourite combo is beer and a salty snack, it must be habanero too!
  • What is your favourite 90s movie?  Shawshank Redemption
  • One word you use far too frequently to the annoyance of others? Hmmmm interesting
  • "In my spare time I enjoy ... gym, mainly classes of HIIT/Boxfit, having fun with my children and walking the dog!

Nick - Co-Founder

  • What is your favourite SP porky ware and why? Can you really have a favourite child? Absolutely! Mine has to be the Advent Calendar. 24 windows of epic pork crackling counting down to the second-best day of the year. My favourite day is now Father's Day though, a lot less stressful and it's all about me. 
  • What is your favourite 90s movie? I am such an 80s kid when it comes to movies, Back to the Future, obvs, but if I had to choose 90s, it’s going to be a toss-up between The Burbs and Face Off. 
  • One word you use far too frequently to the annoyance of others? I think I use words like dude, mega, epic and wicked far too much. 
  • "In my spare time I enjoy..." It’s all about my little family. Jack, Aimee and Fudge. Love just hanging in the garden, walking, running and generally getting out into the open to dust off the cobwebs with a cracking hike. 

    And there you have it... a little insight into the tight knit posse at Team SP. 

    We love what we do and we spend every day making sure we add a little bit of our own flavour into the winning recipe that is Snaffling Pig. 

    Thank you for believing in us and trusting us to keep making the piggin' magic happen!

    Much love,

    Shevy XX
