Higgidy is a UK based company established in 2003 making handmade pies and quiches in West Sussex [ [http://www.thegrocer.co.uk/grt_article.aspx?articleid=98859 Company Profile - Higgidy | The Grocer Today - The Grocer Retail News, UK Market Insights & Retail Reports ] ] . It is run by husband and wife team Camilla Stephens and James Foottit. As a small supplier the company achieved a breakthrough in 2006 when it was successfully selected to supply Sainsbury's supermarkets as part of the "Supply Something New" scheme [ [http://www.supplysomethingnew.co.uk/index.asp?pageid=45 Sainsbury's Suppliers: News : 20092007 ] ] . Since then the company has seen significant growth and by early 2008 had already achieved a turnover of £3.2M with a workforce of 50 employees [ [http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/business/entrepreneur/article2935785.ece Cook took a bigger slice of the pie - Times Online ] ] . The word 'higgidy' was made up by a small child and refers to the fact that all of higgidy's pies are individual and imperfectly shaped because they are handmade.
