Liam Hepburn
Founders' Story
I'm Liam Hepburn, founder of Allergy Compass, a pioneering start-up aimed at revolutionising allergen management in the restaurant sector.
Living with a severe peanut and nut allergy has often made dining out a challenge due to scarce allergen information and the difficulty in communicating with restaurants. This experience exposed a crucial gap: the absence of an easy way for eateries to manage allergens and share this information with diners.
Driven by this need, I created Allergy Compass. Our solution streamlines allergen management for restaurants and offers diners detailed allergen insights, ensuring a safer and more enjoyable dining experience for everyone.
