At Untangled, we believe sustainability isn’t just the right thing to do — it’s the key to building hospitality brands that stand out, and grow stronger, smarter, and more profitable.

Who’s Doing The Untangling

  • Sarah Brading

    Director

    Sarah knows first-hand what it takes to run a restaurant that’s both commercially successful and genuinely sustainable.

    As co-founder and sustainability lead at Flat Earth Pizzas — named one of London’s top three most sustainable restaurants by Time Out — she embedded practices that earned a coveted 3-Star Sustainable Restaurant Association rating, the only independent pizzeria to achieve it.

    Named a Sustainability Trailblazer in CODE Hospitality’s Women of the Year 2024, Sarah now helps hospitality and lifestyle brands turn sustainability from a challenge into a competitive advantage — blending 15+ years of strategic insight and brand-building know-how to drive measurable impact and authentic growth.

  • Rich Baker

    Advisory Partner

    Rich brings over 30 years of hospitality leadership, including as CEO of a quick-service burrito brand with revenues of up to £100M.

    A proven expert in scaling multi-site operations, he has built high-performing teams and delivered sustainable growth at pace.

    As the chef and co-founder of Flat Earth in Bethnal Green, he pioneered a new approach to pizza: meat-free menus, responsibly sourced ingredients, and inventive toppings that cut down on waste while surprising guests.

    At Untangled, he offers clients strategic insight, operational know-how, and mentorship — adding credibility and real-world depth to every project.
