Author Jane LunzerGifford helped Pret A Manger: Food on the Move come to life. She attended a year of food development meetings with Julian Metcalfe, co-founder of Pret, and the team and spent untold hours working with their chefs and suppliers.

Jane originally trained and worked as a chef, but for the past fifteen years has concentrated on cookery writing and photography. She has published books and articles in both England and Japan. The book also showcases many of Pretísextraordinary DIY images. These photographs have been commissioned by Pret over the years and are the work of now famous photographers such as Jenny Van Summers and Jorgen Ahlstrom.

From shop floor to board room in seven years, Simon Hargraves works alongside Julian Metcalfe and heads the Commercial Team. He joined Pret when it consisted of 50 shops. It is now an international company with 180 shops across 4 countries. Simon talks about the charitable work of the company - an astonishing 1.2 million meals in 2007 will be distributed to hostels and charities working with the homeless.
